OpenTaobao

Taobao Open Platform client for ruby. Rails3+ is supported.

NOTICE

• pid is removed from config file, it's not required any more.
• Change OpenTaobao::Error message to json string from v0.2.1.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'open_taobao'

If you want to use patron as http client instead of Net::HTTP, add line below to your Gemfile

gem 'patron'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install open_taobao

Usage

Rails with yaml file configured

Run generator to generate config file:

$ rails g open_taobao:install

It will generate a taobao.yml file under your Rails' config dir. Open the file and configure it with your taobao info.

Notice: app_key, secret_key, endpoint must be included in your YAML file, otherwise OpenTaobao.load will fail.

The app_key and secret_key are avaliable by ENV['TAOBAO_API_KEY'], ENV['TAOBAO_SECRET_KEY'] out of the box if you use same keys for other taobao related gems, e.g. omniauth-taobao.

call OpenTaobao.get or OpenTaoboa.post，with taobao parameters：

hash = OpenTaobao.get(
  :method => "taobao.itemcats.get",
  :fields => "cid,parent_id,name,is_parent",
  :parent_cid => 0
)

The return data will be converted to a Hash automatically.

Also OpenTaobao.get! and OpenTaobao.post! are avaliable, which will raise an OpenTaobao::Error if a error_response receieved.

plain ruby

OpenTaobao.config = {
  'app_key'    => 'test',
  'secret_key' => 'test',
  'endpoint'   => "http://gw.api.tbsandbox.com/router/rest"
}

OpenTaobao.initialize_session

hash = OpenTaobao.get(
  :method => "taobao.itemcats.get",
  :fields => "cid,parent_id,name,is_parent",
  :parent_cid => 0
)

get query string

If you want the query string with some params just pass the params to OpenTaobao.url() the same as OpenTaobao.get(). The query string will change every time your executed because timestamps changed.

OpenTaobao.url(
  :method => "taobao.itemcats.get",
  :fields => "cid,parent_id,name,is_parent",
  :parent_cid => 0
)
