Making a API Wrapper for DigitalOcean using HTTParty

Posted on July 8, 2014

Hello,

So I will be honest, this is my first API I’ve ever used, or attempted to work with. I have very specific goals, and I currently have a Droplet running with 528 MB of RAM on CentOS.

I have installed Ruby and RubyGems with the intent of installing barge, which I discovered is only compatible with Ruby 1.9.2, and I am running the latest version 2.1.2.

So I talked to a person, from DigitalOcean who kindly recommended I try to use HTTParty as a alternative to Barge. However, after installing HTTParty successfully, I began to write my script. I discovered that it wasn’t as easy as just trying to implement the API.

Basically what I am trying to do is, build a Wrapper for HTTParty. So that I can implement the Digital Ocean API! I know its very simple, but I can’t seem to find the HTTParty documentation, so if anyone knows the documentation please let me know!

With much appreciation, Ryan
