< p > The following is a simple example of wrapping Twitter's API for posting updates.< / p >
2008-07-29 12:16:01 -04:00
< pre > < code > class Twitter
include HTTParty
base_uri 'twitter.com'
basic_auth 'username', 'password'
end
Twitter.post('/statuses/update.json', :query => {:status => "It's an HTTParty and everyone is invited!"})< / code > < / pre >

< p > That is really it! The object returned is a ruby hash that is decoded from Twitter's json response. JSON parsing is used because of the .json extension in the path of the request. You can also explicitly set a format (see the examples). < / p >

< p > That works and all but what if you don't want to embed your username and password in the class? Below is an example to fix that:< / p >
