Installation

Requires Ruby 1.9.3 or later.

Add to your Gemfile and run the bundle command to install it.

gem 'osm', '~> 1.2'

Configure the gem during the initalization of the app (e.g. if using rails then config/initializers/osm.rb would look like):

ActionDispatch::Callbacks.to_prepare do
  Osm::configure(
    :api => {
      :default_site => :osm, # or :ogm
      :osm => {              # or :ogm (both an :osm and :ogm config are allowed
        :id    => 'YOU WILL BE GIVEN THIS BY ED AT OSM',
        :token => 'YOU WILL BE GIVEN THIS BY ED AT OSM',
        :name  => 'YOU WILL GIVE THIS TO ED AT OSM',
      },
    },
    :cache => {
      :cache => Rails.cache,
    },
  )
end

Use

In order to use the OSM API you first need to authorize the api to be used by the user, to do this use the {Osm::Api#authorize} method to get a userid and secret.

Osm::Api.authorize(users_email_address, users_osm_password)

Once you have done this you should store the userid and secret somewhere, you can then create an {Osm::Api} object to start acting as the user.

api_for_this_user = Osm::Api.new(userid, secret)

Documentation & Versioning

Documentation can be found on rubydoc.info

We follow the Semantic Versioning concept, however it should be noted that when the OSM API adds a feature it can be difficult to decide Whether to bump the patch or minor version number up. A smaller change (such as adding score into the grouping object) will bump the patch whereas a larger change wil bump the minor version.
