Posting to Brightkite using ActiveResource and REST
The other day, I came across Brightkite’s REST API. After taking a look at it, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to try out ActiveResource, the dead simple way to consume RESTful resources. In 20 lines, I was able to put together a simple script to find your most recent check-in on Brightkite and then post to that place.
A Quick Intro To Active Resource
First off, here’s an idea of just how easy it is to connect to a REST API using ActiveResource. Take, for instance, the “places” resource in Brightkite; these URLs all have the base http://brightkite.com/places. To interface with places, all it takes is this:
class Place < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = 'http://brightkite.com'
end
That’s it. To get all the places, just do Place.find(:all). To create a new place, all it takes is Place.new. Amazing, to say the least. There’s a lot more that’s possible, so I recommend you check out the ActiveResource page on the Rails wiki.
The code
Below are the 20 lines necessary to post a note to Brightkite through the API. Just change USERNAME and PASSWORD to your username and password and change the note text at the bottom, and you’re ready to go. While this is a pretty simple example, it shows just how powerful a well constructed REST API can be.

Cool site, man. I have no effing clue what you’re talking about for the half the time and BrightKite kind of sounds scary to me, but your site looks really nice. Hope you’re summer’s been going great.

So what you’re saying is I should probably get back into Ruby again. Gah.
