Ruby Buzz - RBuzz

A simple Ruby wrapper to help retrieve and parse the Google Buzz Atom Feed.

Coming soon - subscribing to updates, posting to feed

Note: This library was renamed from Buzzr to Ruby Buzz. Buzzr.com sent me a friendly trademark infringement notice and threatened a lawsuit.

Install

gem install rbuzz

Example

require 'rbuzz'

feed_url = Rbuzz::Feed.discover("conorhunt")
# Or, using webfinger (see https://groups.google.com/group/webfinger/browse_thread/thread/fb56537a0ed36964/c51e559c8f8d5455)
# Rbuzz::Feed.discover_by_email("[email protected]")
feed = Rbuzz::Feed.retrieve(feed_url)

feed.entries.each do |entry|
  puts "Title: #{entry.title}"
  puts "Author: #{entry.author.name}"
  puts "Comment Count: #{entry.comment_count}"
  puts "Content"
  puts entry.content
  puts

  if entry.urls.length > 0
    puts "Links"
    entry.urls.each {|u| puts "URI: #{u}" }
    puts
  end

  if entry.images.length > 0
    puts "Images"
    entry.images.each {|i| puts "URI: #{i}" }
    puts
  end

  if entry.videos.length > 0
    puts "Videos"
    entry.videos.each {|v| puts "URI: #{v}" }
    puts
  end

  if entry.comment_count > 0
    puts "Comments"
    puts
    entry.comments.each do |comment|
      puts "Author: #{comment.author.name}"
      puts "#{comment.content}"
      puts
    end
  end
  puts "------"
  puts
end
