bitshares Ruby API (Ruby gem)

[bulletproof]

Update:

Started work on graphene version of the Gem, with websockets too. Got basic ws calls working, so to aid my understanding of why ws is used/preferred, can someone point me at the docs which describe how graphene handles async/statefull API calls - or maybe just provide one or two examples - i.e. where stateless (JSON RPC) API can't be used & why?

Thx

EDIT: Nothing heard as of 9/04, so will focus on JSON RPC only for now

Cool, works now

[bulletproof]

Done. v0.1.6 - see latest README

Let me know if you still have trouble

I keep getting a 'Bad credentials' error..does that refer to RPC or wallet?

I understand these are RPC credentials. Would it be possible to have these be part of the configuration and not globals?
$BITSHARES_ACCOUNT
$BITSHARES_PASSWORD

2.0 supports (and prefers?) websocket, will you implement with it as well?

Yup, that's the intention.

Great!

After some experimentation since here, I've now released a Ruby gem for the bitshares client (v0.x). The gem is called bitshares.

Inspiration from & credit to @xeroc's Python API and the web-services Ruby API code

I've used this as an exercise to teach myself how the bitshares client actually works (lots to learn!). At this stage I'd appreciate any feedback on this project so I can judge whether it is worth continuing with the initiative and maintaining the gem. In any case, pointers to the changes in graphene's JSON RPC API, so I can update the code to be 2.0 compatible, would be great. Feature requests/ideas/collaborators all most welcome 

Executive summary

• it is designed to work with < v1.0 CLI client running the RPC server
• this version detects the running JSON RPC server ports and can thus be integrated into any Ruby/Rails project running the bitshares_client server
• multiple wallets/accounts are supported with stored passwords - so functions requiring these may be automated
  
• the docs list the functionality, which includes automated trading (long-only so far). Here is a flavour:-

Code: [Select]

client = Bitshares::Client.init
Bitshares.configure(:wallet => {'my_wallet' => 'wallet_password'})
wallet = Bitshares::Wallet.new 'my_wallet'
account = wallet.account 'my_account_name'

# a Market object, representing an asset-pair:-
cny_bts = Bitshares::Market.new('CNY', 'BTS')
cny_bts.order_book # gets order book for this market
etc...

# trading in a market from an account
cny_bts_trader = Bitshares::Trader.new(account, cny_bts)
cny_bts_trader.submit_ask(1000, 0.03) # sell order for 1,000 BTS @ 0.03 CNY/BTS
etc...

Great work!   I will throw some brownies your way for this, and hope you do the same for BTS 2.0

  Awesome.. I'll test it out this week!
