bing-helper

bing-helper - WORK IN PROGRESS

Thin wrapper for bing API options. Needed a flexible library that would let me plug in different HTTP options seamlessly while being eminently lazy. The gem has two primary purposes:

1. Build the query string & URL
2. Parse the response

That's all I need, and that's what it does.

Portions taken from our fork of Mike Demers's RBing library.

This client is for non-map API calls for now.

Usage

It's a pretty simple client:

@bing = BingHelper::Bing.new("YOUR API KEY")
results = @bing.web("ruby")
puts "Got #{results["SearchResponse"]["Web"]["Results"].length} results"

Testing Notes

To test this, please create a spec/test-key.rb file that looks like this:

module BingHelper
  TEST_KEY="<YOUR BING API KEY HERE>"
end

You need your Bing API key in order to execute some of the tests. This way, the key doesn't need to be checked in.
