This is a Ruby wrapper for the LibraryThing API.
In order to use the LT Web Services API (and this library), you need to register for a developer key on librarything.com
-
Sign into your LT account at www.librarything.com
-
Go to www.librarything.com/services/keys.php and fill out the form to receive a developer key
-
Documentation for the LT Web Services API can be found at www.librarything.com/services/webservices.php
The gem uses HTTParty and Nokogiri for fetching and processing responses. Both of the gems must be installed.
$ gem install httparty nokogiri librarything-api $ irb -r rubygems require 'librarything' LibraryThing::DEVELOPER_KEY = 'abcdef0123456789abcdef' strange = LibraryThing::Work.get(:name => 'Jonathan Strange') strange['url'] # "http://www.librarything.com/work/1060"

Helpers for accessing LT JSON APIs (Books, Works) (No server-side fetching allowed.)
-
Helper for generating LT Covers URLs
-
Fork the project.
-
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
-
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
-
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
-
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
