The GovInteract API client library provides developers with a basic wrapper for consuming the GovInteract API.

The next version of the API will implement OAUTH for authenticating clients.

SAMPLE USAGE

Before using the library, you'll need to configure some basic options for it. You can acquire these values from your GovInteract account.

class Application < Rails::Application config.api_name_key = "client_name_key" config.api_version = "v1" config.api_env = :production config.api_ssl = false config.api_format = :xml

config.api = Api::Base.new({
         :api_version => config.api_version,
                     :client_name_key => config.api_name_key,
                     :env => config.api_env,
                     :ssl => config.api_ssl,
                     :format => config.api_format
        })

end

Request data from the GovInteract API:

def index @press_releases = ClientSite::Application.config.api.get(Api::Resources::Content::PRESS_RELEASES,{},{})["press_releases"] end

def show @press_release = ClientSite::Application.config.api.get(Api::Resources::Content::PRESS_RELEASES,{:crypto_hash => params[:crypto_hash]})["press_releases"].first end
