1
+ # BehindTheName
2
+
3
+ This is Ruby wrapper around the API provided from the BehindTheName.com website.
4
+
5
+ ## Installation
6
+
7
+ Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
8
+
9
+ ```ruby
10
+ gem 'behind_the_name'
11
+ ```
12
+
13
+ And then execute:
14
+
15
+ $ bundle install
16
+
17
+ Or install it yourself as:
18
+
19
+ $ gem install behind_the_name
20
+
21
+ ## Usage
22
+
23
+ Refer to https://www.behindthename.com/api/help.php for the official documentation.
24
+
25
+ ```ruby
26
+ BehindTheName.api_key = 'YOUR_API_KEY'
27
+ BehindTheName.lookup(name: 'George', exact: true)
28
+ BehindTheName.random(usage: 'Celtic Mythology')
29
+ BehindTheName.related(name: 'Brigit', gender: :feminine)
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ I've no idea what the error codes mean, beyond the description given in the response.
33
+
34
+ ## Development
35
+
36
+ After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
37
+
38
+ Running `bin/scrape_appendices` will update the yml files; it will require that you `gem install oga` as well.
39
+
40
+ To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
