And here are examples of how to use this SDK.
require'blockfrost-ruby'blockfrost=Blockfrostruby::CardanoMainNet.new('your-API-key')blockfrost.get_healthblockfrost.get_transaction('f6780212...36f0c20b6')# The result of request is a hash object with keys [:status, :body]. Examples:# {:status=>"200", :body=>{"is_healthy"=>true}}# {:status=>"404", :body=>{"status_code"=>404, "error"=>"Not Found", "message"=>"The requested component has not been found."}}# Requests which returns a list of result can be called with params.# Allowed params are:# :count, :page, :order, :from, :to (the same as decribed in blockfrost docs)# :from_page, :to_page, :parallel_requests, :sleep_between_retries_ms (see below)# Example of usage:blockfrost.get_asset_history('81791e9e..1303035',{count: 50,page: 3,order: 'desc'})# You may define what value should be used by default when you initialize the object.config={use_asc_order_as_default: false,default_count_per_page: 10}# See the list of params belowblockfrost_configured=Blockfrostruby::CardanoMainNet.new('your-API-key',config)blockfrost_configured.get_block_latest_transactions# will add order=asc&count=10 to request# But you're still able to set params for specific action:blockfrost_configured.get_block_latest_transactions({count: 20})# will add order=asc&count=20 to request# ==================# ==================# ==================# On the other words:# 1. Install the gem and require itrequire'blockfrost-ruby'# 2. Initialize the object with the network:blockfrost_mainnet=Blockfrostruby::CardanoMainNet.new('your-API-key')# Or if you want to access other networks: blockfrost_preview=Blockfrostruby::CardanoPreview.new('your-API-key')blockfrost_preprod=Blockfrostruby::CardanoPreprod.new('your-API-key')blockfrost_ipfs=Blockfrostruby::IPFS.new('your-API-key')# 3. When you initialize, you may configure what params this object will use as default:config={default_count_per_page: 10}blockfrost=Blockfrostruby::CardanoMainNet.new('your-API-key',config)# The list of values that can be defined in the config and its default values:# config = {# use_asc_order_as_default: true - the orders of lists will be asc by default# default_count_per_page: 100 - 100 items per page# parallel_requests: 10 - when fetching pages concurrently,# that param defines how many request# will be sent in one bunch# sleep_between_retries_ms: 500 - when you send too many concurent requests,# your account may reach the limit and the API will# start to answer you with 4xx statuses. This value# defines how long to wait between retries# }# 4. You may pass params explicitly for every request if that request accept params:blockfrost.get_block_latest_transactions({count: 20})# Allowed params are:# :order, :page, :count, :from, :to - add ex. count= to the request# :from_page, :to_page - when you want to get many pages you may define this params.# Also note that you may define only :from_page and it will send requests until# the not-nil response will be fetched.# And 2 more params are:# :parallel_requests, :sleep_between_retries_ms - the same as in config,# but may be set directly to the request.# Example of request:blockfrost.get_list_of_next_blocks("hash_here",{count: 40,from_page: 11520,to_page: 11640,parallel_requests: 15})# 5. Webhooks# Read about the available webhooks here: https://blockfrost.dev/docs/start-building/webhooks# This SDK provides a module BlockfrostRuby::Webhooks you can use as a mixin in your classes.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
