Rest-Client
- This is a repo of a simple API request using rest-client gem for Ruby
Ruby Dependencies:
- Ruby-version 2.5.1
- Rest-client 2.0.2
- Pry
- Other dependencies of the rest-client
Usage
cd /path/to/rest_search
gem install bundler
Or, gem install rest-client
$ irb
Run require 'rest-client' to bring the gem into your IRB session.
bundle install
ruby rest_client_search.rb
or, ruby bing_search.rb
This will create a pry instance in which you simply type:
>> search
This will create a query to bing using the word you searched.
You can manipulate this search with methods provided by rest-client
For example:
>> search
>> "What would you like to search?"
>> Enter a search term:
>> 'returns a large string'
>> query.cookies
>> 'returns cookies associated'
>> query.headers
>> 'returns headers associated'
- For more methods that can be run on query refer to rest-client gem

Warmup: RestClient
This is a warmup exercise to play around with http requests from the command line with the 'rest-client' gem.
A bing search from the command line has been created, where you can do a search for any query, in which you will receive back a http response.
