This Ruby Gem is the official reference client for the Block.io payments API. To use this, you will need the Dogecoin, Bitcoin, or Litecoin API key(s) from Block.io. Go ahead, sign up :)
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'block_io'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install block_io -v=2.0.0
07/02/20: BREAKING CHANGES. Version 2.0.0. Remove support for Ruby < 2.3.0. Behavior and interfaces have changed. By upgrading you'll need to revise your code and tests.
05/10/19: Prevent inadvertent passing of PINs (user error).
06/25/18: Remove support for Ruby < 1.9.3 (OpenSSL::Cipher::Cipher). Remove connection_pool dependency.
01/21/15: Added ability to sweep coins from one address to another.
11/04/14: Fix issue with nil parameters in an API call.
11/03/14: Reduce dependence on OpenSSL. PBKDF2 function is now Ruby-based. Should work well with Heroku's libraries.
10/18/14: Now using deterministic signatures (RFC6979), and BIP62 to hinder transaction malleability.
It's super easy to get started. In your Ruby shell ($ irb), for example, do this:
require 'block_io'
blockio = BlockIo::Client.new(:api_key => "API KEY", :pin => "SECRET PIN")
If you do not have your PIN, or just wish to use your private key backup directly, do this:
blockio = BlockIo::Client.new(:api_key => "API KEY", :keys => [BlockIo::Key.from_wif("PRIVATE KEY BACKUP")])
And you're good to go:
blockio.get_new_address
blockio.get_my_addresses
For other initialization options/parameters, see lib/block_io/client.rb.
