This library is a simple wrapper around the ArcGIS API's for GeoServices and ArcGIS Online using the sharing API.
The library currently just exposes the service endpoints and accepts unverified hashes of input parameters as specified in the ArcGIS API. As it evolves more endpoints will be added as well as more Ruby-like objects for the various API capabilities.
# Create a client
@online = Arcgis::Online.new(:host => "http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/")
# Do an unauthenticated search
results = @online.search(:q => "weather", :itemtype => "Web Map")
# For features with permissions, first log in
@online.login(:username => @username, :password => @password)
# Create an item
response = @online.item_add( :title => "Weather Station Temperatures",
:type => "CSV",
:file => File.open("my_data.csv"),
:tags => %w{temperature stations}.join(","))
@id = response["id"]
puts "This item has #{response['numComments']} comments."
# Publish as a feature service
analysis = @online.item_analyze(:id => @id, :type => "CSV")
publish = @online.item_publish(:id => @id,
:filetype => "Feature Service",
:publishParameters => analysis["publishParameters"].to_json)
puts "Feature Service URL: " + publish["services"].first["serviceurl"]
# Clean up
@online.item_delete(:items => [@id, publish["services"].first["serviceItemId"]])
arcgis-ruby uses RSpec for tests. First copy @config.yml.example@ to @config.yml@ and modify the username and password. Then from the command line run:
$ rspec
If your arcgis online user is a public user, i.e. not allowed to create groups or publish items, then run:
$ rspec --tag ~@privileged
This will skip tests that require publisher access.
