Description
Explore the vast world of computational knowledge available for free via Wolfram's v2 API.
Install
To install this gem:
gem install wolfram
Ruby 2.7 and later are supported; earlier versions may work, but are
not supported.
Setup
You'll need a Wolfram Appid (api key) by creating an account
here and
then clicking on the 'Get an APPID' button.
Once you have your own appid, set it in your shell, preferably in your ~/.bashrc:
export WOLFRAM_APPID='YOURKEY'
If you want to explicitly set your appid in a script:
Wolfram.appid = "YOURKEY"
Usage
Query away on the commandline!
wolfram from boston to new york
wolfram x^3 - 4x^2 + 6x - 24 = 0
wolfram words ending with able
Regular ruby usage:
query = 'boston population'
result = Wolfram.fetch(query)
hash = Wolfram::HashPresenter.new(result).to_hash
For many more examples, see here.
