RSS to JSON API - Ruby Gem

RSS to JSON is a simple tool for converting RSS feeds into JSON format. It returns the RSS feed in JSON format.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'apiverve_rsstojson'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install apiverve_rsstojson

Getting Started

Get your API key at APIVerve

Basic Usage

require 'apiverve_rsstojson'

# Initialize the client
client = APIVerve::Rsstojson::Client.new(api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY")

# Make a request
response = client.execute({ url: "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" })

# Print the response
puts response

Error Handling

begin
  response = client.execute({ url: "https://www.nasa.gov/rss/dyn/breaking_news.rss" })
  puts response["data"]
rescue APIVerve::Rsstojson::ValidationError => e
  puts "Validation error: #{e.errors.join(', ')}"
rescue APIVerve::Rsstojson::APIError => e
  puts "API error: #{e.message}"
  puts "Status code: #{e.status_code}"
end

Debug Mode

# Enable debug logging
client = APIVerve::Rsstojson::Client.new(
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  debug: true
)
