# use football help SUBCOMMAND to see details
First you need to configure the api
FootballData.configure do |config|
# get api key at 'http://api.football-data.org/register'
config.api_key = YOUR_API_KEY
# default api version is 'alpha' if not setted
config.api_version = 'alpha'
# the default control method is 'full' if not setted
# see request section on 'http://api.football-data.org/documentation'
config.response_control = 'minified'
endUse FootballData.fetch(resource, subresource, params) to fetch the data.
It returns a json parsed object. Such as:
# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons)
# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons/398/leagueTable'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons, :leagueTable, id: 398)
# GET 'http://api.football-data.org/v1/soccerseasons/398/fixtures?matchday=8'
FootballData.fetch(:soccerseasons, :fixtures, id: 398, matchday: 8)
res = FootballData.fetch(:teams, :players, id: 57)
pp res['players'].find{|player| player['name'] =~ /Mesut/i}
# {"id"=>1967,
# "name"=>"Mesut Özil",
# "position"=>"Attacking Midfield",
# "jerseyNumber"=>11,
# "dateOfBirth"=>"1988-10-15",
# "nationality"=>"Germany",
