Lightning::Source

Ruby interface to the Lightning Source on-demand publishers' web site

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lightning-source'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lightning-source

Usage

At present, all the module does is log in and grab sales figures for a given time period:

first = Date.today.ago(1.month).beginning_of_month.to_date
last = first.end_of_month

l = LightningSource.new(username, password)
us_comp = l.compensation(first: first, last: last, market: "US")
uk_comp = l.compensation(first: first, last: last, market: "UK")

This returns an array of hashes like so:

[{:ISBN=>"9781234567890",
  :Title=>"A Book about Fish",
  :Author=>"Author, Joe",
  :ListPrice=>12.99,
  :Disc=>0.2,
  :WholesalePrice=>10.39,
  :QtySold=>2.0,
  :QtyReturn=>0.0,
  :NetQty=>2.0,
  :Sales=>20.78,
  :Returns=>0.0,
  :NetSales=>20.78,
  :PrintCharge=>-5.34,
  :SetupRecovery=>0.0,
  :Adjust=>0.0,
  :ReturnCharge=>0.0,
  :NetPubComp=>15.44,
  :RecoveryRemaining=>0.0},
]

Soon it'll grab order and book statuses as well, and it may even allow you to make web orders.
