Ruby interface to the infermedica REST API
This is a Ruby interface to the Infermedica REST API: https://developer.infermedica.com/docs/api
It is (very) loosely based on the Python library: https://github.com/infermedica/python-api.
gem install infermedica
- json. I have tested with 1.8.x
- Ruby 2.x
You will first need to get an API Id and Key from the Infermedica site https://developer.infermedica.com/docs/api
To start using the API, require the infermedica gem and create an Infermedica::Api object, passing the api_id and api_key to the constructor.
The constructor takes a hash as argument, so you have different options to pass the id and key:
require 'infermedica'
api = Infermedica::Api.new(api_id: 'xxxxx', api_key: 'xxxxxxxxxxx')
Or put the key and id in a .yaml file, read it, and pass the resulting hash to the constructor
In config.yaml
:api_id: xxxxx
:api_key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
:dev_mode: true
In your script
require 'infermedica'
require 'yaml'
access = YAML.load(File.read('./config.yaml'))
api = Infermedica::Api.new(access)
The examples directory has some examples to get you started. They all assume that you have a config.yaml in the same directory. Just create one with your own api_id and api_key and you should be able to just invoke ruby on each example.
