urbanesia is a wrapper to access the Urbanesia API.
Urbanesia is an Indonesian directory site with API docs available online.
To use this gem, you will need to apply for a consumer key and secret.
This gem is a port of the PHP wrapper. The PHP wrapper has some methods relating to a user key and user secret (as well as the consumer key/secret) but I did not have to use these at all so did not include them in this gem.
gem "urbanesia", "~> 0.0.1.7"Create a initializers/urbanesia.rb file:
Urbanesia.consumer_key = "your-key-here"
Urbanesia.consumer_secret = "your-secret-here"That's it!
You can use the Urbanesia module in any controller.
I use it in a rake task, and include "require 'urbanesia'", ie
require 'urbanesia'
response = Urbanesia.request "get/super_search", "", "what=culinary&where=jakarta"
# response can now be treated as a normal string, eg
parsed_json = JSON.parse CGI.unescapeHTML(response)
unless parsed_json.blank? || parsed_json["biz_profile"].blank?
restaurants = parsed_json["biz_profile"]
end
