Why?
I was looking for an API providing football data and came across www.football-data.org.
Then I looked for a Ruby Gem to use this API and only found some very old, very basic Gems.
As I wanted to use the API for my own Rails project, I decided to provide a more up-to-date and more extensive Gem.
I also wanted to implement multi target API support, so you dont need a seperate gem for every football API.
From version 2.1.0 on, I implemented multi API support, now supporting the following target APIs:
- football-data.org
- apifootball.com
- api-football.com
What?
You can use the API directly in providing the full REST path as documented.
Additionally, I created a class for every endpoint and provide functions that can be used semantically.
So, instead of:
Football::Butler.get('http://api.football-data.org/v2/competitions/2002/matches')you can use:
Football::Butler::Matches.by_competition(id: 2002)Where?
