# httparty
Makes http fun again!
## Install
```
gem install httparty
```
## Requirements
* Ruby 1.9.3 or higher
* multi_xml
* You like to party!
## Examples
```ruby
# Use the class methods to get down to business quickly
response = HTTParty.get('http://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow')
puts response.body, response.code, response.message, response.headers.inspect
# Or wrap things up in your own class
class StackExchange
include HTTParty
base_uri 'api.stackexchange.com'
def initialize(service, page)
@options = { query: {site: service, page: page} }
end
def questions
self.class.get("/2.2/questions", @options)
end
def users
self.class.get("/2.2/users", @options)
end
end
stack_exchange = StackExchange.new("stackoverflow", 1)
puts stack_exchange.questions
puts stack_exchange.users
```
See the [examples directory](http://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/tree/master/examples) for even more goodies.
## Command Line Interface
httparty also includes the executable `httparty` which can be
used to query web services and examine the resulting output. By default
it will output the response as a pretty-printed Ruby object (useful for
grokking the structure of output). This can also be overridden to output
formatted XML or JSON. Execute `httparty --help` for all the
options. Below is an example of how easy it is.
```
httparty "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions?site=stackoverflow"
```

## Contributing
* Fork the project.
* Run `bundle`
* Run `bundle exec rake`
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
* Run `bundle exec rake` (No, REALLY :))
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself in another branch so I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
