Ralexa

Ruby client for Amazon Alexa APIs.

These include Alexa Top Sites and Alexa Web Information Service.

HTTP transport thanks to Net::HTTP, with a little help from addressable.

XML parsing courtesy of Nokogiri.

Thorough test coverage provided by MiniTest::Spec.

Notice

Updated to use basic API key for authentication instead of access key pair.

Installation

# with bundler
echo 'gem "ralexa"' >> Gemfile
bundle

# or just the gem
gem install ralexa

Usage Examples

# grab a Ralexa::Session instance to hold your credentials.
session = Ralexa.session("api_key")

# all countries
countries = session.top_sites.list_countries
p countries.map(&:name)

# global top 250 sites
global = session.top_sites.global(250)

# per-country top sites
first_by_country = {}
countries.each do |c|
  first_by_country[c.name] = session.top_sites.country(c.code, 1).first.url
end

# individual country lookup
puts "Top Ten Australian Sites"
session.top_sites.country("AU", 10).each do |s|
  puts "#{s.url} (#{s.page_views} pageviews)"
end
