wku-ruby-rets

Overview

Simplifies the process of dealing with RETS servers. Without having to worry about the various authentication methods or edge cases associated with dealing with RETS. Should work against all 1.x implementations.

Compability

Tested against Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, RBX and JRuby, build history is available here.

Documentation

See http://rubydoc.info/github/Placester/ruby-rets/master/frames for full documentation.

Examples

client = RETS::Client.login(:url => "http://foobar.com/rets/Login", :username => "foo", :password => "bar")
client.search(:search_type => :Property, :class => :RES, :query => "(ListPrice=50000-)") do |data|
  # RETS data in key/value format, as COMPACT-DECODED
end

client.get_object(:resource => :Property, :type => :Photo, :location => false, :id => "1:0:*") do |headers, content|
  puts "Object-ID #{headers"object-id"]}, Content-ID #{headers["content-id"]}, Description #{["description"]}"
  puts "Data"
  puts content
end

VCR / WebMock

Due to the streaming parser, the search features won't work with a library like VCR or Ephemeral Response. For WebMock, you can use the below patch to enable support for saving the HTTP requests to speed up your own tests.

module Net
    module WebMockHTTPResponse
        def self.extended(response)
            response.instance_variable_set(:@socket, StringIO.new(response.body))
        end
    end
end
