Pilha

A object oriented wrapper for the StackExchange/StackOverflow API

Why such a strange name?

‘Pilha’ (pronounced peeleeah) means ‘stack’ in portuguese.

Instalation

gem install pilha

Example

Pilha aims to provide a ActiveRecord like interface for querying the StackExchange API.

include StackExchange::StackOverflow
StackExchange::StackOverflow::Client.config do |options|
  options.api_key = 'your_key' #optional
end

Badge.all # returns all badges
User.find_by_badge_id(2) # returns all users awarded by the badge identified with 'id'

As all response objects returned by Pilha are instances of OpenStruct, so you need to call the ‘api_methods’ on a desired class to see which methods of the OpenStruct were added by the gem.

Question.api_methods

# => [:@struct, :question_id, :tags, :creation_date, :last_activity_date, :up_vote_count,
    :down_vote_count, :view_count, :score, :community_owned, :title, :body, :answers,
    :answer_count, :accepted_answer_id, :favorite_count, :question_timeline_url,
    :question_comments_url, :question_answers_url, :owner]
