KegbotApi

Kegbot Server REST API client implemented in Ruby.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kegbot_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kegbot_api

Usage

Using the KegbotApi is pretty straight-forward.

Example 1

require 'kegbot_api'

#
# Example use of the KegbotApi
#

client = KegbotApi::Client.new "http://demo.kegbot.org/api"

puts "KegbotApi Demo"
puts "http://demo.kegbot.org/api"
puts "--------------"

taps = client.Tap.all

puts "Taps: #{taps.length}"
puts "--------------"

taps.each_with_index do |tap, index|
  puts "Tap #{index + 1}"
  puts tap.name
  puts "Online? #{tap.online?}"

  if tap.online?
    puts "On Tap: #{tap.keg.name}"

    puts "Remaining: #{tap.keg.volume_ml_remaining}ml of #{tap.keg.volume_ml}ml"
    puts '%.0f%' % tap.keg.percent_full
  end

  puts "--------------"
end

# Or you can find resources by ID...for example: Keg 1

puts "GET /kegs/1"
tap = client.Keg.find(1)

[:id, :name, :size_name, :volume_ml_remaining, :percent_full, :online?].each do |name|
  puts "#{name} = #{tap.send(name)}"
end

produces output:

Example 2

require 'kegbot_api'

#
# REST endpoints and their corresponding KegbotApi classes/methods
#

client = KegbotApi::Client.new "http://demo.kegbot.org/api"

# /drinks
client.Drink.all

# /drinks/ID
client.Drink.find(1)

# /taps
client.Tap.all

# /kegs
client.Keg.all

# /kegs/ID
client.Keg.find(1)

# /sessions
client.Session.all

# /sessions/ID
client.Session.find(1)

Limitations

The Kegbot Server REST API specification is in flux (as mentioned on the specification page). As such, things might break. Open an issue, or even better, a pull request!

The Kegbot Server REST API specification is a bit out of date to what the server actually returns...as such, when in doubt, hit the REST URL directly and see what you see: eg: http://demo.kegbot.org/api/taps

Currently, the API is for unauthenticated and read-only content: taps, kegs, and drinks endpoints and their sub-objects beverage, image. The following are not fully implemented yet:

• GET /taps/ID
• GET /kegs/ID/drinks
• GET /kegs/ID/sessions
• GET /users
• GET /users/ID
• GET /users/ID/drinks
• GET /users/ID/auth-tokens
• GET /thermo-sensors
• All POST Endpoints

That being said, the API is complete for querying most information from a Kegbot server.
