This is a ruby wrapper for the Edamam api.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'edamam-ruby'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install edamam-ruby
To use this library you have to initialize the Edamam::Client with a valid app_id and app_key. If you dont have one, you can register with Edamam and get your credentials.
client = Edamam::Client.new(app_id: "secret-app-id", app_key: "super-secret-app_id")
Or you can instantiate with a block
client = Edamam::Client.new do |client|
client.app_id = "secret-app-id"
client.app_key = "super-secret-app_id"
end
After instantiating, you can make a request to the Edamam foodrequest api
nutritional_data = client.food_database.nutritional_data("1 large apple")
This would return an object which has all the successfull fields from Edamam api.
###Note This gem makes use of a logger in case there is an error. You can customize this logger to use any logger of your choice. For example, in a rails application you can simple add this as an initializer
Edamam.logger = Rails.logger
