How to generate a quick API Wrapper Ruby gem

Generate gem skeleton

$ bundle gem foo-api-wrapper
$ cd foo-api-wrapper

Edit gemspec, add http.rb as dependency

s.add_dependency 'http'

Bundle

$ bundle install

Add a directory structure that matches the API

For example, for the Jupiter Swap API (https://station.jup.ag/docs/apis/swap-api)

I created a jupiter.rb with the base URL

module Jupiter
  class Error < StandardError; end

  BASE_URL = "https://quote-api.jup.ag/v6"
end

I created a quote.rb

module Jupiter
  class Quote
    def self.get(**params)
      HTTP.get(BASE_URL + "/quote", params: params).parse(:json)
    end
  end
end

I created a swap.rb

module Jupiter
  class Swap
    def self.post(**params)
      HTTP.post(BASE_URL + "/swap", json: params).parse(:json)
    end
  end
end

Usage

quote = Jupiter::Quote.get(inputMint: "123", outputMint: "321", amount: "1")

swap = Jupiter::Swap.post(quoteResponse: quote, userPublicKey: "f8a7df871...")

(optional) Next steps

Use the get and post class methods to instantiate the Quote and Swap classes with both your request and response params.

You can decide if you want to use a strict schema or something like Hashie.
