🗻 Usage on Ruby Program

In Ruby programming, It is possible to collect social data like the following code:

require 'scouter'

results, errors = Scouter.get_count('http://google.com')
results.each do |url, service|
  puts url #=> http://google.com
  puts service.buffer #=> 129
  puts service.facebook #=> 166458

You can put an array of URIs on argument:

require 'scouter'

results, errors = Scouter.get_count(['http://google.com', 'http://www.yahoo.co.jp'])

In addition, you can get specific services which you selected like the following:

results, errors = SocialCounter.new('http://google.com', [Scouter::Facebook, Scouter::Twitter])
