MyCollegeForumsApi

Code Climate

The Discourse API gem allows you to consume the Discourse API

Installation

This api lets you access some data from https://mycollegeforums.com

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'discourse_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install discourse_api

Usage

Over time this project intends to have a full Discourse API. At the moment there are only a few endpoints available:

client = DiscourseApi::Client.new("https://mycollegeforums.com")
client.api_key = "10fd9bbfe588cd47a33e7f4a2c81902a9c11ceeb92ff55823179b564d96607ac"
client.api_username = "piyush"


client.ssl(...)                                 #=> specify SSL connection settings if needed
