LiveJournal API client

LiveJournal API client

This is a clone of the original livejournal gem. A few minor fixes and refactorings made. New functionality includes support for alternative servers compatible with LiveJournal API (e.g. Dreamwidth.org).

How to use

Add to your Gemfile:

gem "livejournal2"

(Please note you can require livejournal, or livejournal2 - both will work).

Example

require 'livejournal'

dreamwidth = LiveJournal::Server.new("Dreamwidth", "https://www.dreamwidth.org")
user = LiveJournal::User.new('test', 'testkey', dreamwidth)
login = LiveJournal::Request::Login.new(user)
login.run

NOTE: For LiveJournal you use your actual password, but for Dreamwidth instead of password you need to provide an API key that can be generated here: https://www.dreamwidth.org/manage/emailpost
