Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

CableReady broadcasts are not working in system tests
If you want to check out an alternative to VCR, have a look at webmock.

TDD is super important and useful!
Well, that's why your test says: "When the API responds like this I do that". People hate on ruby but webmock makes it very nice to mock/stub that, or for python there's responses. For the database you can use a local database with factories to easily create the data you need for each test and clear it between tests.

It is becoming difficult for me to be productive in Python
Man if you think python has great mocking/testing support, you check out some ruby tests! Honestly some of the best testing libraries that pioneered approaches that are becoming more common elsewhere, such as the expectations syntax. And now that I'm coding more in python I find myself missing libaries like webmock, letting you stub web reqests in a way that's agnostic of the HTTP/web libary, chef's kiss.
- Are there any testing frameworks to intercept HTTP and Database calls?

Configure VCR with RSpec
In order to keep our test suite faster and consistent, we need to mock our http requests. A simple and good way to achieve this is using the Webmock gem which allow easily mock the http responses for your requests.

Testing Dependencies: Fake It While You Make It
We can avoid managing HTTP communication with our dependency. Instead, we'll stub out how we expect it to respond. In this case, we'll use webmock to stub out a response at the HTTP layer.

A Ruby gem to create production grade Kubernetes clusters in Hetzner Cloud in a couple of minutes or less
The other option is to mock the web requests to Hetzner - this: https://github.com/bblimke/webmock or similar may help.

When VCR seems to heavy try cURL & WebMock
There are fine istructions in WebMock README. I want to share it here for reference:
-
Testing external APIs with Rspec and WebMock
You can find the setup instructions and examples on how to use WebMock, in their github documentation. WebMock will prevent any external HTTP requests from your application so make sure you add this gem under the test group of your Gemfile.

I would grab a gem like httparty, and dive into the API docs and see what you can do.

Automating Updates to Twilio Webhook URLs
Usually, my ruby HTTP library of choice is HTTParty but I wanted to set this up using the ruby Net::HTTP lib to keep from introducing another dependency.

Best language to learn quickly/easily to interact with an API?
Everyone here seems to have misread what you wanted. From my interpretation, you are trying to upload a csv somewhere, using an api. With ruby, you can either do it with a built in library or one of the nice http gems. Someone suggested using Python with a builtin library called requests which isn't actually built in, so I'm also going to go with a library that isn't built in. httparty

How to consume an API that comes with basic authentication?
My go-to is HTTParty for most cases. As a simple example for a one-off request:
-
Testing external APIs with Rspec and WebMock
I'm too tied to the implementation. If one day I decide to use Faraday or HTTParty as my HTTP clients instead of Net::HTTP, this test will fail.

Using the Postmark API and custom metatags with Ruby on Rails
Now we ensured the right meta data is added to the emails with a custom metatag, let's setup the Postmark API to retrieve the email data an show it in our application. The first step is to add a gem so we can send HTTP requests to the Postmark API. There are several good gems for this, I use the httparty gem. So add this to the Gemfile:
What are some alternatives?
DuckRails - Development tool to mock API endpoints quickly and easily (docker image available)
Faraday - Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.
R Spec - A minimalist RSpec clone with all the essentials. [Moved to: https://github.com/cyril/r_spec-clone.rb]
RESTClient - Simple HTTP and REST client for Ruby, inspired by microframework syntax for specifying actions.
Fix - Specing framework.
Typhoeus - Typhoeus wraps libcurl in order to make fast and reliable requests.
ActiveMocker - Generate mocks from ActiveRecord models for unit tests that run fast because they don’t need to load Rails or a database.
Http Client - 'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
Request Interceptor - Sinatra based foreign API simulation for your testsuite
excon - Usable, fast, simple HTTP 1.1 for Ruby
vcr - Record your test suite's HTTP interactions and replay them during future test runs for fast, deterministic, accurate tests.
HTTP - HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts
