Deprecation suggestions? #19

Open daguar opened 10 years ago

daguar commented 10 years ago

Could you add suggestions on what to do, given that this library is being deprecated?

It's a bit odd, given that the site says:

The Ruby library is our most mature CartoDB client and is being used in CartoSet.

Should Ruby users just construct our own HTTP calls to the APIs now? Any help provided in the README would be useful.

Thanks!

Basically we support the SQL API: http://developers.cartodb.com/documentation/sql-api.html this API is so simple that it does not need a special client library to fetch data from.

The deprecation message means that the library works, we will be doing our best to maintain compatibility but we can't ensure this library will work.

anyways, you are right, I will update the comment with more information

Thanks! Even this note is very helpful, so putting it in the README would be great. (I would submit a pull request, but I think you will probably want the details in your own words.)

Thanks again!
