Hi, can you provide hello world code? The link to the API isn't very useful. Thanks for any help.

There's some sample code in the Google App Engine project.

The API is pretty straightforward. You can use the GET methods to request Insightly objects (e.g. contacts, opportunities, etc), and then inspect the object graph to see how it is structured. Then use POST and PUT operations to create and update objects via the API.

Hi, the API is straightforward, the gem usage is not. I can only guess how you utilize the Insightly module defined in teh gem to gain velocity versus using the API directly. For the moment, I've just abandoned the gem an am using HTTParty but I'd love it if there were a simple "get users" demo code. I'll search for the app engine project, but any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin,

Sorry the gem is not so straightforward. As I mentioned, one of our customers wrote this library and offered it to us. Unfortunately, I am not a Ruby expert (I mostly work in Python and .Net here).

I'll ask the developer if he has an sample code he can share.

Thanks,

Brian

The beauty of open source. Thanks Brian. I also need to demo functionality soon, so maybe I will give it a stab.

Hi guys sorry for the late response. I've added some code samples to the readme. If after the viewing the sample code you're still having problems let me know the specific nature of the issue and I can answer your questions.

brianinsightly commented 10 years ago

great, thanks much! I'll merge in the pull request shortly.
