mixpanel-ruby: The official Mixpanel Ruby library¶ ↑

mixpanel-ruby is a library for tracking events and sending Mixpanel profile updates to Mixpanel from your ruby applications. It’s straightforward to get started sending your first events and updates:

Installation¶ ↑

gem install mixpanel-ruby

Getting Started¶ ↑

require 'mixpanel-ruby'

tracker = Mixpanel::Tracker.new(YOUR_TOKEN)

# Track an event on behalf of user "User1"
tracker.track('User1', 'A Mixpanel Event')

# Send an update to User1's profile
tracker.people.set('User1', {
    '$first_name' => 'David',
    '$last_name' => 'Bowie',
    'Best Album' => 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars'
})

The primary class you will use to track events is Mixpanel::Tracker. An instance of Mixpanel::Tracker is enough to send events directly to Mixpanel, and get you integrated right away.

Changes¶ ↑

1.1.0¶ ↑

• The default consumer now sends requests (and expects responses) in verbose, JSON mode, which may improve error reporting.

1.0.2¶ ↑

• Allow ip and optional_params arguments to be accepted by all Mixpanel::People methods (except #destroy_user)

1.0.1¶ ↑

• Compatibility with earlier versions of ruby. Library development will continue to target 1.9, so later versions may not be compatible with Ruby 1.8, but we love patches!

1.0.0¶ ↑

• tracker#import added

• Change to internal tracking message format. Messages written by earlier versions of the library will not work with 1.0.0 consumer classes.

• alias bugfixed

• Fixes to tests to allow for different timezones

• Support for optional/experimental people api properties in people calls
