weibo_2_example

A example for weibo_2.

Basic Usage

The example written with sinatra shows how to ask for oauth2 permission, get the token and send status with picture. It should cover basic usage in all ruby apps. You can run your own demo!

$ KEY=change_this_to_your_key SECRET=change_this_to_your_secret REDIR_URI=change_this_to_your_redir_uri ruby example.rb

It should work.

  1. How to get the token?

    OAuth2 is simpler than its first version. In order to get the access token, you first need to get an Authorization Code through a callback request. Now use the following code to get the token.

    WeiboOAuth2::Config.api_key = YOUR_KEY
WeiboOAuth2::Config.api_secret = YOUR_SECRET
WeiboOAuth2::Config.redirect_uri = YOUR_CALLBACK_URL

    If you are developing in your localhost, you can set YOUR_CALLBACK_URL as 'http://127.0.0.1/callback' something. Then set your weibo app account's callback URL as this URL too. Weibo will call the URL using GET method, which will then enable you to retrieve the authorization code.

    client = WeiboOAuth2::Client.new

    Or you can pass the key and secret to new a client if you did not set WeiboOAuth2::Config

    Redirect to this URL. If user grants you permission, then you will get the authorization code.

    client.authorize_url

    In your callback handling method, you should add something like the following,

    client.auth_code.get_token(params[:code])

    which will give permission to your client.

  2. How to post a status with picture? (or call other interfaces)

    Simply update a status

    client.statuses.update(params[:status])

    Upload a picture.

    tmpfile = params[:file].delete(:tempfile)
File.open(tmpfile.path, 'rb'){|pic| client.statuses.upload(params[:status], pic, params[:file])}

    pass params[:file] into upload method as options could help weibo_2 to build post body, useful options as:

    • filename, filename with extension of the uploading file, example 'pic.jpg'
    • type, mime type of the uploading file, example 'image/jpeg'
