Ruby Wrapper

[John Wulff]

I've written a Digg API wrapper in Ruby. So far it only supports
story retrieval but it will support the entire API very soon.

Enjoy!

New code is up. The entire API should be implemented now.

New code is on the Google Project Page. Full API should be supported
now.

Very cool. Thanks. Using your wrapper, I created a <a href="http://
code.whytheluckystiff.net/mouseHole/">mouseHole</a> user script that
displays the number of diggs for whatever page you are browsing.
Right now I am getting the number of diggs via string manipulation; is
that the best way to parse the stories response?

I'm a bit of a ruby newb but I must say, your code looks pretty
amazing. Your USAGE makes the digg class look sooo ruby! I'm inspired
to figure out what you're doing in there, great job!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Post your code and I can help.

I've posted a short tutorial article on how to use John's ruby
wrapper, as
well as a link to the little digg histogram app I created with it. I
hope this helps some of you wanting to get started with this code.
Enjoy!

And my digg tool I call "diggraphy", here:

I'm sorry; I don't know what I am doing. I'm trying to get the number
of diggs for a given url (i.e. non-digg url). This is how I tried to
parse the response using your wrapper lib...
digg = Digg.new
stories = digg.stories('stories/', :link => "http://
www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_debian_etch")
start = stories.first.inspect.index('@diggs="').to_i + 8
# the response can vary... look for various values after
number of diggs (@diggs)
cstop = stories.inspect.index('", @container',start)
tstop = stories.inspect.index('", @topic', start)
if tstop < cstop
stop = tstop
else
stop = cstop
end
stop = stop.to_i - 2
num_of_diggs = stories.first.inspect.slice(start..stop)
What embarrassing code; apologies.

Try this instead:

Digg.new.stories('stories', :link => 'http://www.howtoforge.com/
the_perfect_desktop_debian_etch').first.diggs
