== DEPRECATED This gem is no longer useful, as it does not support the Foursquare API 2.0.

== foursquare

A simple Ruby Gem wrapper for the Foursquare API. With OAuth authentication.

== install

gem install foursquare

== example

require 'rubygems' require 'foursquare'

oauth_key = 'your_key' oauth_secret = 'your_secret'

oauth = Foursquare::OAuth.new(oauth_key, oauth_secret)

request_token = oauth.request_token.token request_secret = oauth.request_token.secret

redirecting user to foursquare to authorize

oauth.request_token.authorize_url

foursquare redirects back to your callback url, passing the verifier in the url params

access_token, access_secret = oauth.authorize_from_request(request_token, request_secret, verifier)

save the user's access token and secret

oauth = Foursquare::OAuth.new(oauth_key, oauth_secret) oauth.authorize_from_access(access_token, access_secret) foursquare = Foursquare::Base.new(oauth)

foursquare.test

foursquare.venues :geolat => geolat, :geolong => geolong, :l => 10, :q => 'pizza' foursquare.tips :geolat => geolat, :geolong => geolong, :l => 10 foursquare.checkins :geolat => geolat, :geolong => geolong

checkin = { :vid => vid, :shout => "this is what i'm up to", :venue => "Cohabitat", :private => 0, :twitter => 0, :geolat => geolat, :geolong => geolong }

these all do the same thing

the response is a hashie object built from the checkin json. so you can do new_checkin.shout

new_checkin = foursquare.checkin(checkin) new_checkin.class => Hashie::Mash new_checkin => {...checkin hashie...} new_checkin = foursquare.send('checkin=', checkin) new_checkin.class => Hash new_checkin => {'checkin' => {...}} new_checkin = foursquare.api(:checkin=, checkin) new_checkin.class => Hashie::Mash new_checkin => {:checkin => {...}}

foursquare.history :l => 10 foursquare.api(:history, :l => 10).checkins foursquare.user :uid => user_id :badges => 0 foursquare.user # currently authenticated user foursquare.friends :uid => 99999 foursquare.venue :vid => venue_id foursquare.addvenue :name => name, :address => address, :city => city, ... foursquare.venue_proposeedit :venue_id => venue_id, :name => name, :address => address, :city => ... foursquare.venue_flagclosed :vid => venue_id foursquare.addtip :vid => 12345, :tip => 'here is a tip' foursquare.tip_marktodo :tid => tip_id foursquare.tip_markdone :tid => tip_id foursquare.friend_requests foursquare.friend_approve :uid => friend_id foursquare.friend_deny :uid => friend_id foursquare.friend_sendrequest :uid => friend_id foursquare.findfriends_byname :q => search_string foursquare.findfriends_byphone :q => '555 123' foursquare.findfriends_bytwitter :q => twitter_name foursquare.settings_setping :uid => user_id, :self => global_ping_status
