Spruce is a Ruby wrapper around the Forrst API. The Forrst API is currently a moving target and the plan is to develop Spruce alongside it, as close as possible. Spruce will support authentication via API tokens.
gem install spruce
The YAJL C Bindings for Ruby are so full of AWESOME that it is almost impossible to not use them everywhere JSON is involved, so I didn’t.
I’m also temporarily using the REST Client gem until the Forrst API returns the correct MIME type and status codes.
require 'rubygems' require 'forrst' # or require 'spruce' # Retrieve a user by username kyle = Forrst::User.find 'kyle' # Kyles latest PUBLIC posts kyle.public_posts # The type of Kyles latest PUBLIC post kyle.public_posts[0].post_type # Kyles PUBLIC posts before post_id 5000 kyle.public_posts_before(5000) # Retrieve a user by id peter = Forrst::User.find 5079
Implement the different post types by subclassing Forrst::Post
