Redvine

A simple Ruby wrapper for the totally unofficial and undocumented Vine API. Everyone loves Vine these days, and this pretty much sums up why.

Very heavily inspired by Vino, and made possible by the super sleuthing documented on khakimov.com.

It pretty much goes without saying that this wasn't authorized by Vine or anyone who works at Vine, so don't blame me if you try to use it and Vine gets mad at you.

Thanks also to @kdonovan and @ruthgsp for adding and improving.

Installation

gem install redvine

Usage

require 'rubygems'

# Connect to Vine with an email and password
client.connect(email: '[email protected]', password: 'your_vine_password')

# Get your own timeline
client.timeline

# Find videos by tag
client.search('cats')
client.search('cats', :page => 2)

client.followers('908082141764657152')
client.following('908082141764657152', :page => 2)

client.single_post('1015405623653113856')

Things To Do

  • Twitter authentication
  • Make it easier to access attributes of common objects (videos and users)
  • Include all of the discovered API endpoints
