BookingSync::API

This gem allows Ruby developers to programmatically access https://www.bookingsync.com

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bookingsync-api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bookingsync-api

Usage

Gem assumes that you already have OAuth token for an account.

api = BookingSync::API.new("OAUTH_TOKEN")
rentals = api.rentals # => [BookingSync::API::Resource, BookingSync::API::Resource]
rentals.first.name # => "Small apartment"

Pagination

All endpoints returning a collection of resources can be paginated. There are three ways to do it.

Specify :per_page and :page params. It's useful when implementing pagination on your site.

api.bookings(per_page: 10, page: 1) => [BookingSync::API::Resource, BookingSync::API::Resource, ...]

Use pagination with a block.

api.bookings(per_page: 10) do |batch|
  # display 10 bookings, will make one HTTP request for each batch
end

Fetch all resources (with multiple requests under the hood) and return one big array.

api.bookings(auto_paginate: true) => [BookingSync::API::Resource, BookingSync::API::Resource, ...]

Meta information

Some endpoints return additional info about resource in meta section. To fetch it you need to access last response.

api.rentals(updated_since: "2014-01-01 15:43:96 UTC") # => [BookingSync::API::Resource,    BookingSync::API::Resource, ...]
api.last_response.meta # => {"deleted_ids" => [1, 3, 4]}

Logging

Sometimes it's useful to see what data bookingsync-api gem sends and what it receives from the API. By default, gem doesn't log anything. There are two ways to enable logging:

Set BOOKINGSYNC_API_DEBUG environment variable to true, when running gem or your app server in development. This will print all logs to STDOUT.
Pass your own logger to API client, it can be for example Rails.logger.
```
 api = BookingSync::API.new("OAUTH_TOKEN", logger: Rails.logger)
```

Instrumentation

BookingSync::API exposes instrumentation information that can be consumed by various instrumentation libraries. By default it doesn't send the information anywhere.

To hook instrumentations into ActiveSupport::Notifications, pass the module into the API client initializer:

api = BookingSync::API.new("OAUTH_TOKEN", instrumenter: ActiveSupport::Notifications)

Log levels

INFO - Logged are only request method and the URL. DEBUG - Logged are request and response headers and bodies.

When using BOOKINGSYNC_API_DEBUG variable, log level is DEBUG.
