Gluestick

Gluestick is a simple interface to the Glue API for Ruby. Rather than learning a new set of methods, you just use Glue's native methods.

To get started, include the gluestick gem and instantiate a Glue class. Every method in the Glue API requires authentication, so you'll also need to use a valid username and password.

require 'rubygems'
require 'gluestick'
glue = Glue.new('username', 'password')

To actually use methods, call the same ones you would as if you were calling them right through HTTP. If you wanted to use the user/friends method, you would do this:

friends = glue.user.friends(:userId => 'jdp')

See the correspondence? glue.user.friends maps itself to http://api.getglue.com/v1/user/friends.

Query string parameters are passed through a hash as the first argument. That's all you need to know.
