Year as a Service

YaaS

Year as a Service. Provides the current year as a service.

• Current year: https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear
• Next year: https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/nextYear
• Previous year: https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/previousYear

Examples

PHP

<?php
$year = file_get_contents('https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear');

echo $year; // 2014

Ruby

require 'net/http'
year = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse("https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear")).body
p year # 2014

Python

import urllib2
year = urllib2.urlopen('https://raw.github.com/asgrim/year/master/en/currentYear').read(1000).strip()
print year; # 2014

BC Break

In the future, we may have to break BC by removing the root "currentYear". You should use "en/currentYear" instead.
