Cyprus Postal Codes API Rubygem

Build Status

logo

The easiest and most complete rubygem for CYPRUS POST: POSTAL CODES API.

Table of Contents

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cyprus-postal-codes'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cyprus-postal-codes

And access the library in Ruby:

require 'cyprus-postal-codes'

Usage

To access the API, you'll need to create a CyprusPostalCodes::Client and pass in your API key. You can use Cyprus Post contact form to request your API key.

The API is multi-language. has lng param on each resources. It can either be el which will return the response in greek or en which will return the response in english.

The client will default to the greek

client = CyprusPostalCodes::Client.new(api_key: ENV["CYPRUS_POSTAL_CODES_API_KEY"])

The client will use english

client = CyprusPostalCodes::Client.new(api_key: ENV["CYPRUS_POSTAL_CODES_API_KEY"], lng: "en")

The client then gives you access to each of the resources.
