Kijkwijzer
Kijkwijzer is the Dutch film/television-screening system. Since there is no proper API, this gem was made to remove the scraping bit from my own app-source. Additionally some helper methods have been added to make displaying the icons easier (the icons are included in this gem as a SVG-iconset).
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'kijkwijzer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install kijkwijzer
Usage
Usage is simple:
Kijkwijzer.search("piano")
Gives you results of movies, documentaries etc with known ratings.
You can also filter by year:
Kijkwijzer.search("piano", {year: 2011})
Rails view-helpers (SVG icons)
To make things even easier I included the SVG-icon set. Simply use the two methods.
Somewhere in the top of your body, load the iconset definition:
<%= render_kijkwijzer_svg_definitions %>
Then to display the movie results use the view helper render_kijkwijzers
:
<% Kijkwijzer.search("piano").each do |rating| %>
<h2><%= rating.title %></h2>
<p><%= render_kijkwijzers rating %></p>
<% end %>
Make sure you format the icons properly, otherwise you'll get huge icons ... I believe I've added plenty of classes for easy styling using css.
