= rufus-rtm


== getting it

  sudo gem install -y rufus-rtm

or at

http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=4812


== credentials

'rufus-rtm' expects to find RTM credentials in the environment. It will look for :

* RTM_API_KEY
* RTM_SHARED_SECRET
* RTM_FROB
* RTM_AUTH_TOKEN

(Note since version 0.2, it's OK to not set these environment variables and to pass their values for each method with 
:api_key, :shared_secret, :frob and :auth_token optional parameters (see test_2 of test/tasks_test.rb))

You have to apply for the first two ones at http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/api/keys.rtm

Once you have the API key and the shared secret, you have to get the frob and the auth token. Fire your 'irb' and

  >> require 'rubygems'
  >> require 'rufus/rtm'

  please visit this URL with your browser and then hit 'enter' :

  
  http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/auth/?api_sig=70036e47c38da170fee431f04e29e8f0&frob=fa794036814b78fddf3e5641fe
  7c37f80e7d91fc&perms=delete&api_key=7f07e4fc5a944bf8c02a7d1e45c79346

visit, the given URL, you should finally be greeted by a message like "You have successfully authorized the application 
API Application. You may now close this window and continue the authentication process with the application that sent 
you here.", hit enter...

  ok, now getting auth token...

  here are your RTM_FROB and RTM_AUTH_TOKEN, make sure to place them
  in your environment :

  export RTM_FROB=3cef465718317b837eec2faeb5340fe777d55c7c
  export RTM_AUTH_TOKEN=ca0022d705ea1831543b7cdd2d7e3d707a0e1efb

make then sure that all the 4 variables are set in the environment you use for running 'rufus-rtm'.


== usage

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'rufus/rtm'

  include Rufus::RTM

  #
  # listing tasks

  tasks = Task.find
    # finding all the tasks

  tasks = Task.find :filter => "status:incomplete"
    # finding all the incomplete tasks

  tasks.each do |task|

    puts "task id #{task.task_id}"
    puts "   #{task.name} (#{task.tags.join(",")})"
    puts
  end

  #
  # adding a task

  task = Task.add! "study this rufus-rtm gem"
    # gets added to the 'Inbox' by default

  puts "task id is #{task.task_id}"

  #
  # enumerating lists

  lists = List.find

  w = lists.find { |l| l.name == 'Work' }

  puts "my Work list id is #{w.list_id}"

  #
  # adding a task to a list

  task = Task.add! "work, more work", w.list_id

  #
  # completing a task

  task.complete!

  #
  # deleting a task

  task.delete!


Note that the methods that change the state of the Remember The Milk dataset have names ending with an exclamation mark.


Note as well that, there is a 1 second delay before any request to the RTM server, in order to respect their conditions. 
This may change in future releases.
