The Big Cartel Ruby Gem

A Ruby wrapper for the Big Cartel External REST API.

Version 1.0.5

With the release of 1.0 I changed some of the design of the gem and should be considered a breaking change if you were using the 0.* versions of the gem. I hope this new design of the gem will be faster and also more useful in your applications.

Installation

gem install bigcartel

Usage

require 'rubygems'
require 'bigcartel', '>~ 1.0.0'
require 'pp'


client = BigCartel::Client.new

client.store("tonkapark", {:show_products => true, :product_limit => 2})

client.products("tonkapark", {:limit => 100})

client.page("tonkapark", "page-permalink")


store = BigCartel.store("tonkapark")     

pp store.description

store.products.each do |product|
 pp product.name
 pp product.image.thumb
end

What you can do with the gem

As part of the Big Cartel Themes and Templates available from Tonka Park there was a small web app built using the BigCartel gem to generate google products xml and also create a theme preview.
