This library provides methods to get the JSON data for either the most recent XKCD comic or a random one, and then return the JSON data as a Ruby Hash.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'get_xkcd'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install get_xkcd
Require the gem in your application file if necessary (e.g. if using Rails, this won't be necessary as Rails takes care of this for you):
require 'get_xkcd'
Get data for the latest comic:
latest_issue_data = GetXkcd::Comic.fetch_latest_issue_data
Get data for a specific comic:
specific_issue_data = GetXkcd::Comic.fetch_specific_issue_data(issue_number)
Get data for the a random comic:
random_issue_data = GetXkcd::Comic.fetch_random_issue_data
