Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install monroe
There are currently three endpoints accessible from this wrapper:
Monroe::Articles
Monroe::Tweets
Monroe::Records
Monroe::Bills
To access the data from these endpoints, you will first need to request an API key and configure the client with this key. If you do not already have a key, you can generate one by querying the API's generator endpoint with your email as a parameter:
www.monroeapi.com/api_key?email=your_email@example.com
Once you have your key, you can configure the client by setting the key in an initializer file of simply at the top of your program:
Monroe.key = YOUR_API_KEY
Once the key is configured, you're good to go. Refer to the following documentation to access each endpoint.
