A Swarm/Foursquare API Client written in Elixir

Bees

Bees is an Elixir client library for the Foursquare/Swarm API.

Features

Bees currently supports:

1. Finding venues by lat/long Bees.Venue.search/6
2. Finding venues by identifier Bees.Venue.find_by_identifier/2
3. Finding venues by recommendations Bees.Venue.explore/8
4. Finding venues by category Bees.Venue.category/7
5. Checking into a venue Bees.Checkin.with_venue/4

Adding endpoints should be relatively simple, and I'm open to pull requests.

Installation

The package can be installed as:

1. Add bees to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do [{:bees, "~> 0.3.0"}] end

2. Ensure bees is started before your application:

   def application do [applications: [:bees]] end

Usage

client = %Bees.Client{
  client_id: "CLIENT_ID_HERE",
  client_secret: "CLIENT_SECRET_HERE",
  access_token: "ACCESS_TOKEN_FOR_CHECKIN"
}

case Bees.Venue.find_by_identifier(client, "501fea4de4b05e0d96afc368") do
  {:ok, venue} ->
    IO.inspect venue
  {:error, error} ->
    IO.inspect error
end

bees's Issues

Updating to 0.2.0 in dependencies still downloads 0.1.0 code

Might just be me, but after updating to {:bees, "~> 0.2.0"} in the mix.exs file in a Phoenix project, and running mix deps.get, it downloads Bees 0.2.0

But when looking in the deps folder in bees, the code is still the old one (0.1.0), resulting calls to the new endpoints in 0.2.0 (e.g. Bees.Venue.explore/8) to cause an exception since that endpoint is not present in the package's code

Incompatible with Phoenix 1.3

Giving error Failed to use "poison" (version 3.1.0) when using Phoenix 1.3 when doing mix deps.get

Worked fine when using Phoenix 1.2
