Ruby class pattern to work with API requests with built-in async approach

1. uri

   1 3 98 8.2 Ruby

   URI is a module providing classes to handle Uniform Resource Identifiers (by ruby)

   

   I have been working with dozens of different Web APIs (mostly JSON) as a Ruby developer. Some of them can provide an official Ruby gem that you can install and use in order to interact with the API in your Ruby code. Others don't have anything like It at all and you need to implement the interaction with the API yourself. In this case, there are a lot of helpful API ruby gems that are easier to use than the default Ruby URI module https://github.com/ruby/uri. Let's list a few of them:

2. Sevalla

3. open-meteo

   Free Weather Forecast API for non-commercial use

   

   OpenMeteo - https://open-meteo.com/ to get weather forecast

4. Faraday

   3 8 5,857 7.4 Ruby

   Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.

   

   Faraday - https://github.com/lostisland/faraday. Personally, I use It, just because historically it was linked to every project I worked with. In addition, you can install the Faraday Curl gem https://github.com/mauricio/faraday_curl to get nice Curl requests in logs.

5. faraday_curl

   4 1 37 - Ruby

   Prints CURL compatible calls from your faraday http requests.

   

   Faraday - https://github.com/lostisland/faraday. Personally, I use It, just because historically it was linked to every project I worked with. In addition, you can install the Faraday Curl gem https://github.com/mauricio/faraday_curl to get nice Curl requests in logs.

6. httparty

   5 9 5,874 6.5 Ruby

   :tada: Makes http fun again!

   

   HTTPParty - https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty. Heard a lot about It, but never used it.

7. RESTClient

   6 6 5,227 0.0 Ruby

   Simple HTTP and REST client for Ruby, inspired by microframework syntax for specifying actions.

   

   RESTClient - https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client for folks who prefer Sinatra's actions syntax.

8. Concurrent Ruby

10. dotenv

    8 23 6,688 6.6 Ruby

    A Ruby gem to load environment variables from `.env`. (by bkeepers)

    

    once ApiConnector is created with configured authorization, you will need to think about It ever again. (always use a secure way to store tokens or other secrets). If you don't know what to use, I can suggest dotenv gem - https://github.com/bkeepers/dotenv
