HackernewsApi

This is a tiny gem that wraps around HN's API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hackernews_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install hackernews_api

Usage

Fetching users by id:

User.fetch(123)

Fetching stories:

Story.fetch(123)

Fetching comment:

Comment.fetch(123

Fetching poll:

Poll.fetch(123)

All of the fetch actions return adequate entities based on the fetch. For example, Story.fetch(<some-id-here>) will return a Story object.
