Writing Code

Require the gem

require 'ttvdb'

Create a TTVDB::Client instance

client = TTVDB::Client.new(options={})

Where options can be:

Example

This is an example script that fetches a series by ARGV. if ARGV is an integer, it will fetch it by its id otherwise by its name. It will then print a little overview about the series.

Usage

$ ruby ttvdb_example.rb "Galaxy Rangers"
# or
$ ruby ttvdb_example.rb 77772

Code

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "ttvdb"

TTVDB.logger.level = Logger::WARN

client = TTVDB::Client.new
series = nil

if ARGV[0].to_i > 0
  series = [client.get_series_by_id(ARGV[0].to_i)]
else
  series = client.get_series ARGV[0]
end

series.each do |serie|
  puts serie.name
  puts "Overview:"
  puts serie.overview

  puts ""
  serie.seasons.each do |season, episodes|
    puts "Season: %02d" % season
    episodes.each do |number, episode|
      puts "  #%02d - %s" % [number, episode.name]
    end
  end
end

See the examples/ folder for a complete list of examples. I try to make them as easy to understand as possible.
