Globalticket

This gem works as a simple Ruby wrapper for the Global Ticket Resller API. It implements all the API functions are implemented. Please refer to the awesome Global Ticket Resller documentation to see how the API works.

All this gem does, is make it a little bit simpler to use the API:

You don't need to sort the attributes
You don't need to calculate the HMAC Key
You don't need to send your API key or environment with every request
You don't need to figure out how to make the POST requests

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'globalticket'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install globalticket

Configuration

First, obtain an API key and shared secret from Global Ticket. Set it up like this:

Globalticket::Config.api_key      = "MY-API-KEY"
Globalticket::Config.api_secret   = "MY-API-SHARED-SECRET"
Globalticket::Config.environment  = "test" # or 'production'

To use this gem in a Rails project:

# config/development.rb
config.globalticket.api_key      = "MY-API-KEY"
config.globalticket.api_secret   = "MY-API-SHARED-SECRET"
config.globalticket.environment  = "test" # or 'production'

Usage

Get available users

@global_ticket_users = Globalticket::API.get_available_users
# => {"success"=>true, "users"=>[{"userId"=>"xx", "userName"=>"Name of the museum", etc..}, {"userId"=>"yy", "userName"=>"Name of the museum", etc..}]}

Get ticket types

@ticket_types = Globalticket::API.get_ticket_types(userId: xx)
# => {"success"=>true, "ticketTypes"=>[{"ticketTypeId"=>xx, "ticketTypeName"=>"Dagticket", "ticketTypePrice"=>"10.00"}, ...]}

Etcetera

All the other functions work exactly in the same fashion. Checkout the globalticket_spec.rb file to see some more examples.
