Rocket.Chat REST API for Ruby

This is a gem wrapping the v1 REST API for Rocket.Chat.

The gem is based on a fork of http://github.com/int2xx9/ruby-rocketchat however that gem implemented v0.1 of the Rocket.Chat API and it was not forward compatible. Thanks to @int2xx9 for the framework on which this gem was based

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rocketchat'
