The gem provides access to methods to use the Redtail CRM API.
Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:
gem 'ruby-redtail'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ruby-redtail
To setup the client, you’ll need the following configuration. In Rails land, you could create a file in ‘config/initializers/ruby-redtail.rb` (and if you’re still storing top secret keys in your code repository, take the opportunity now to stop and start using ENV vars or something):
RubyRedtail.configure do |config| config.api_key = ENV['REDTAIL_API_KEY'] config.secret_key = ENV['REDTAIL_SECRET_KEY'] config.api_uri = ENV['REDTAIL_API_URI'] end
Block-tastic!
RubyRedtail::User.authenticate_via_basic('frank', 'secret') do |redtail_user| # Something Cool end RubyRedtail::User.authenticate_via_user_key('key') do |redtail_user| # Something Cool end RubyRedtail::User.authenticate_via_user_token('token') do |redtail_user| # Something Cool end
This works too:
redtail_user = RubyRedtail::User.new('Basic','frank', 'secret') redtail_user = RubyRedtail::User.new('UserKey','key') redtail_user = RubyRedtail::User.new('UserToken','token')
redtail_user.user_key
redtail_user.settings.tag_groups
redtail_user.contacts.search_by_name('Investor')
-
Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn’t been implemented or the bug hasn’t been fixed yet.
-
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn’t requested it and/or contributed it.
-
Fork the project.
-
Start a feature/bugfix branch.
-
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
-
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
