# Instapaper [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/stve/instapaper.png?branch=master)][travis] [![Dependency Status](https://gemnasium.com/stve/instapaper.png?travis)][gemnasium]

Instapaper is a ruby wrapper for interacting with [Instapaper's Full API](https://www.instapaper.com/api/full). Note that access to the Full API is restricted to Instapaper subscribers only.
## Installation
gem install instapaper
## Usage
This library offers full support for all methods exposed through Instapaper's Full API. Note that Instapaper's API does not support the request-token/authorize workflow. To obtain an access token, use the `access_token` method.
## Changes in 1.0.0
If you've used earlier versions of this library, a lot has changed in version `1.x`. While not a total rewrite, I've changed a number of things based on my experience writing API libraries:
* swapped out Faraday for http.rb
* responses now return custom classes instead of Hashie::Rash objects
* most API methods are more clear as to their behavior (i.e., `#star_bookmark` instead of just `#star`)
* module-based configuration and invocation has been removed, you'll now need to instantiate an `Instapaper::Client` instead (see usage below)
* Improved error handling
* Updates for version 1.1 of Instapaper's API
* Support for Highlights API
## Configuration
```ruby
client = Instapaper::Client.new do |client|
client.consumer_key = YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY
client.consumer_secret = YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET
client.oauth_token = YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN
client.oauth_token_secret = YOUR_OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET
end
```
## Authentication
To obtain an access token via xAuth:
```ruby
client.access_token(username, password)
```
You can also verify credentials once you have received tokens:
```ruby
client.verify_credentials
```
## Bookmark Operations
Retrieve a list of bookmarks:
```ruby
client.bookmarks
```
Add a new bookmark:
```ruby
bookmark = {
title: 'This is the title',
description: 'This is the description',
}
client.add_bookmark('http://someurl.com', bookmark)
```
Remove a bookmark:
```ruby
client.delete_bookmark(bookmark_id)
```
Update read progress:
```ruby
client.update_read_progress(bookmark_id, 0.5)
```
Star/Un-star a bookmark:
```ruby
client.star_bookmark(bookmark_id)
client.unstar_bookmark(bookmark_id)
```
Archive/Un-archive a bookmark:
```ruby
client.archive_bookmark(bookmark_id)
client.unarchive_bookmark(bookmark_id)
```
Move a bookmark to a folder:
```ruby
client.move_bookmark(bookmark_id, folder_id)
```
Obtain the text of a bookmark:
```ruby
client.get_text(bookmark_id)
```
## Folder Operations
To obtain the list of folders:
```ruby
client.folders
```
You can add by passing a name:
```ruby
client.add_folder('eventmachine')
```
And remove folders by referencing a folder by it's id.
```ruby
client.delete_folder(folder_id)
```
Lastly, the folders can be reordered:
```ruby
client.set_order(['folder_id1:2','folder_id2:1'])
```
## Highlights Operations
Obtain highlights for a bookmark:
```ruby
client.highlights(bookmark_id)
```
Add a highlight for a bookmark:
```ruby
highlight = {
text: 'And so we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.',
position: 20,
}
client.add_highlight(bookmark_id, highlight)
```
Remove a highlight:
```ruby
client.delete_highlight(highlight_id)
```

## Contributing
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with Rakefile, gem version, or history.
(if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
