A tiny EventBrite API client for ruby

#eventbrite-client.rb#

##Description## A tiny ruby-based http client for the Eventbrite API

For the latest information on this project, take a look at:

• This project's source code repo
• The Eventbrite API documentation

##Usage Examples##

###Installation via rubygems ###

gem install eventbrite-client

###Loading the Eventbrite API Client library code###

require 'eventbrite-client'

###Initializing the client### Your API / Application key is required to initialize the client - http://eventbrite.com/api/key

Set your user_key if you want to access private data - http://eventbrite.com/userkeyapi

eb_auth_tokens = { app_key: 'YOUR_APP_KEY',
                   user_key: 'YOUR_USER_KEY'}
eb_client = EventbriteClient.new(eb_auth_tokens)

###Initializing the client using an OAuth2.0 access_token### You can also initialize our API client using an OAuth2.0 access_token, like this:

eb_client = EventbriteClient.new({ access_token: 'YOUR_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN'})

###Calling API methods### See Eventbrite's API method documentation for more information about the list of available client methods.

Here is an example using the API's user_list_events method:

response = eb_client.user_list_events()

The event_get API call should look like this:

response = eb_client.event_get({ id: 1848891083})

Widgets

Rendering an event in html as a ticketWidget is easy:

response = eb_client.event_get({ id: 1848891083})
widget_html = EventbriteWidgets::ticketWidget(response['event'])

Additional widget examples are available on developer.eventbrite.com

eventbrite-client.rb's Issues

API deprecation warnings needed

This API client library targets an older (unavailable) version of Eventbrite's API.

See https://developer.eventbrite.com/ for updated API usage information regarding Eventbrite's new (current) "v3" APIs.

Please provide your Application Key in the URL

I keep getting this error

eventbrite.rb:6:in `<main>': Please provide your Application Key in the URL as "?app_key=<APP_KEY>". (RuntimeError)

require 'eventbrite-client'
eb_auth_tokens = { 'app_key' => '<RETRACTED>',
                   'user_key'=> '<RETRACTED>'}
eb_client = EventbriteClient.new(eb_auth_tokens)

response = eb_client.event_get({'id' => '3350085195'})

Having compatiblity issue while installing eventbrite-client

I am trying to install eventbrite-client.
I added this gem in Gemfile as gem 'eventbrite-client',:git => 'https://github.com/ryanjarvinen/eventbrite-client.rb'.

But while trying to run bundle install. Getting a below issue.
Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "tzinfo":
In Gemfile:
eventbrite-client (>= 0) ruby depends on
tzinfo (~> 0.3.22) ruby

rails (= 4.1.0) ruby depends on
  railties (= 4.1.0) ruby depends on
    activesupport (= 4.1.0) ruby depends on
      tzinfo (~> 1.1) ruby

I tried many solution to fix this issue like removing my gemfile.lock,bundle update,removing tzinfo and reinstalling, but unable to fix it.
I am using rails 4.1.0 version on ruby 2.0.0
Any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

Ruby 1.8 hash syntax

Hi,

Would you consider merging this jlsync@70a9226 in?

Dependency failed on Rails 4 : tzinfo

Added the following line to Gemfile

gem 'eventbrite'

but bundle install failed with:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "tzinfo":
  In Gemfile:
    eventbrite-client (>= 0) ruby depends on
      tzinfo (~> 0.3.22) ruby
.
.
    activesupport (>= 3.0.0) ruby depends on
       tzinfo (1.2.2)

To make it work, I cloned this repo and changed required tzinfo version into >= 0.3.22 (instead of ~> 0.3.22)

What is the best solution?

Error while requesting data

Hi,

I am running the following script in ruby:

require 'eventbrite-client'
eb_auth_tokens = { app_key: 'my-app-key',
user_key: 'my-user-key'}
eb_client = EventbriteClient.new(eb_auth_tokens)
response = eb_client.user_list_events()

print response

I keep getting the following error.

Also, i noticed I only get the error when there is some data to be returned. If for example there are no events being returned, then there would be no error.

JSON returned by Eventbrite not parseable by Crack::JSON

When I run "response = client.user_list_events()" an error is thrown because Crack::JSON.parse can not parse string values like "2012-04-02 07:20:42" that have colons in them. To work around this, I first require the standard json gem and replace HTTParty's JSON parse method like this:

module HTTParty
  class Parser
    def json
      # Replace Crack::JSON with JSON because Crack::JSON barfs on the JSON
      # returned by Eventbrite (for example, values that are strings with
      # colons in them such as datetimes like "2012-04-02 07:20:42").
      JSON.parse(body)
    end
  end
end

I'm running Ruby 1.9.4, eventbrite-client 0.1.0, httparty 0.7.8, and crack 0.1.8.

Versions

Versions are very inconsistent.

VERSION says 0.1.0.
gemspec says 0.1.3.
rubygems has 0.1.4 listed.

I have submitted a PR to the eventbrite repo to update HTTParty, but I have no idea if the code there is the latest, because of this confusion. Who is maintaining this project now?
