sucker

An universal RESTful API wrapper that sucks!

(A project just for fun, seriously!)

Requirement

• Ruby
• cURL

How to use

Supposing you are making a GET request to https://api.github.com/repos/john/hello/commits

• Copy the source code of the so called lib of sucker (just 30 lines!)
• Create you own API wrapper like this: github = Sucker.new('https://api.github.com/')
• Call your API like this: puts github.repos.john.hello.commits[0]['commit']['author']
• That's it.

Why sucks

• Any REST resource such as Github repo name / user name cannot contain characters that are not allowed in naming Ruby methods (for example: hello-world is an invalid repo name for sucker because - is not allowed in Ruby method name)

Not (maybe never) implemented

• No PUT PATCH POST, just GET implemented
• No authorization support
• No parameter support
