# Buzz Ruby Sample #
|
|
This is a simple starter project written in Ruby which provides a minimal
|
|
example of Buzz integration within a Sinatra web application.
|
|
|
|
Once you've run the starter project and played with the features it provides,
|
|
this starter project provides a great place to start your experimentation into
|
|
the API.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites ##
|
|
Please make sure that all of these are installed before you try to run the
|
|
sample.
|
|
|
|
- Ruby 1.8.7+
|
|
- Ruby Gems 1.3.7+
|
|
- Are you on a Mac? If so, be sure you have XCode 3.2+
|
|
- A few gems (run 'sudo gem install <gem name>' to install)
|
|
-- sinatra
|
|
-- httpadapter
|
|
-- extlib
|
|
-- dm-sqlite-adapter
|
|
-- google-api-ruby-client
|
|
|
|
## Setup Authentication ##
|
|
|
|
This API uses OAuth 2.0. Learn more about Google APIs and OAuth 2.0 here:
|
|
http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OAuth2.html
|
|
|
|
Or, if you'd like to dive right in, follow these steps.
|
|
- Visit https://code.google.com/apis/console/ to register your application.
|
|
- From the "Project Home" screen, activate access to "Buzz API".
|
|
- Click on "API Access" in the left column
|
|
- Click the button labeled "Create an OAuth2 client ID"
|
|
- Give your application a name and click "Next"
|
|
- Select "Web Application" as the "Application type"
|
|
- Under "Your Site or Hostname" select http:// as the protocol and enter
|
|
"localhost" for the domain name
|
|
- click "Create client ID"
|
|
|
|
Edit the buzz.rb file and enter the values for the following properties that
|
|
you retrieved from the API Console:
|
|
|
|
- oauth_client_id
|
|
- oauth_client_secret
|
|
|
|
Or, include them in the command line as the first two arguments.
|
|
|
|
## Running the Sample ##
|
|
|
|
I'm assuming you've checked out the code and are reading this from a local
|
|
directory. If not check out the code to a local directory.
|
|
|
|
1. Start up the embedded Sinatra web server
|
|
|
|
$ ruby buzz.rb
|
|
|
|
2. Open your web browser and see your activities! Go to http://localhost:4567/
|
|
|
