= ruby-rapleaf * http://github.com/rapportive-oss/ruby-rapleaf == DESCRIPTION: Rapleaf's goal is to make the internet safe and transparent, by allowing you to evaluate your web footprint across a variety of user-generated sites. See http://www.rapleaf.com for more information. == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: This library was inspired by the sample code provided by Rapleaf at: http://trac.rapleaf.com/ruby-api-kit/wiki The code was extensively re-written by Glenn Rempe so it would work with the then-current Rapleaf v2 API, and further modified by Sam Stokes to support the v3 API. Please direct any questions, patches, pull requests or bug reports to Sam Stokes <sam@rapportive.com>. This project is not affiliated with, or endorsed or supported by, Rapleaf. === Original (v2 API compatible) http://github.com/grempe/ruby-rapleaf Glenn Rempe glenn@rempe.us === Updated (v3 API compatible) http://github.com/rapportive-oss/ruby-rapleaf Sam Stokes sam@rapportive.com == SYNOPSIS: In order to use this API, you will need to get an API Key from Rapleaf. These can be obtained free at http://www.rapleaf.com/. To run the samples you will need to put your API Key in the examples/person.rb file or the examples will fail. To run any of the examples, simply run it like: cd examples ruby person.rb (There are some known problems running the examples at the moment... sorry!) == REQUIREMENTS: The following gems are required for installation of the ruby-rapleaf gem. * xml-simple * builder == INSTALL: gem install ruby-rapleaf You can build the gem yourself and install as a Ruby Gem with: git clone git://github.com/rapportive-oss/ruby-rapleaf.git cd ruby-rapleaf gem build ruby-rapleaf.gemspec gem install ruby-rapleaf-*.gem == LICENSE: This software is distributed under the Ruby License.
