Forecasting

A Ruby gem to interact with the Harvest Forecast API. Please note that there is currently no official public API. This API client has been made by inspecting network requests using the Forecast website. This library is based on the excellent Harvesting gem.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'forecasting'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install forecasting

Usage

In order to start using this gem you will need your personal token and an account id:

You can find these details over here: https://id.getharvest.com/developers

If you don't specify values for access_token or account_id, it will default to these environment variables:

• ENV['FORECAST_ACCESS_TOKEN']
• ENV['FORECAST_ACCOUNT_ID']

# $ export FORECST_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxx
# $ export FORECAST_ACCOUNT_ID=12345678
client = Forecasting::Client.new
client.whoami
=> #<Forecasting::Models::User:0x000000010488e370 @attributes={"id"=>212737, ... }>

If the access token or account id is invalid a Forecasting::AuthenticationError will be raised:

client = Forcasting::Client.new(access_token: "foo", account_id: "bar")
client.whoami
=> #<Forecasting::AuthenticationError: {"reason":"non-existent-token","account_id":"bar"}>

With a valid access token and account id:

client = Forecasting::Client.new(access_token: "<your token here>", account_id: "<your account id here>")
user = client.whoami
#<Forecasting::Models::User:0x000000010e238ac0 @attributes={"id"=>212737, ... }>

user.id
# => 212737
