Prosper API for Ruby 0

Posted by Chad

Update: This Prosper API project has been discontinued, and is not functional in it’s current state. Prosper makes huge updates to their API without warning, or even notifying the developer mailing list of the updates. The most recent change totally discontinued HTTP GET/POST access to the API (which this code used) and moved forward with a SOAP only approach. If Prosper opens communication with the developers in the future, I may revisit this project. At this point, I can not invest the time only to have them radically change the API without notice once again.

While working on ProsperK, I wrote an interface to the Prosper API. There was no such project on RubyForge so I decided to put mine up there.

It’s really simple to use, refer to the RDoc for some detailed examples.

Installation

Get the source. require the prosper.rb file.

I put prosper.rb in app/models and it will be loaded with the application.

svn co http://code.conductr.com/svn/prosper/

- or -

Just grab the http://code.conductr.com/svn/prosper/prosper.rb file and require it.

Usage

cd ./prosper
rdoc
Open the doc directory with your browser (or, the index file within). The documentation has usage examples for each method.
