Demo queries can be found on the TinCan Storage API demo page, however in the ruby gem they can be inputted as a Hash or JSON.

Example Query (Hash): {:query => {:key => "value"}, :options => {:count => true}}

Example Query (JSON): '{"key":"value"}'

require "tincan"

demo = TinCan.new("APP_ID", "APP_KEY", "APP_NAME")

demo.validate      #=> Returns True or an Error
demo.insert(query) #=> Returns true if successful
demo.find(query)   #=> Returns data if successful
demo.update(query) #=> Returns true if successful
demo.remove(query) #=> returns true if successful
