# Snitcher
Simple API client for [Dead Man's Snitch](https://deadmanssnitch.com)
[](http://badge.fury.io/rb/snitcher)
[](https://travis-ci.com/deadmanssnitch/snitcher)

## Usage
To check in for one of your snitches:
```ruby
Snitcher.snitch("c2354d53d2")
```
You also may provide a message with the check in:
```ruby
Snitcher.snitch("c2354d53d2", message: "Finished in 23.8 seconds.")
```
Errors can be reported by providing the `status` option. A status of `nil`,
`0`, or `""` are all considered a success. Any other status is treated as a
failure.
```ruby
Snitcher.snitch("c2354d53d2", status: 1)
```
The default timeout of 5 seconds can be overridden:
```ruby
Snitcher.snitch("c2354d53d2", timeout: 10)
```
## API Access
### Setup
Initialize the API client directly with your api key:
```ruby
require "snitcher/api"
client = Snitcher::API::Client.new("my_awesome_key")
```
#### Heroku
Dead Man's Snitch exposes the `DEADMANSSNITCH_API_KEY` environment variable for
accessing the API.
```ruby
require "snitcher/api"
client = Snitcher::API::Client.new(ENV["DEADMANSSNITCH_API_KEY"])
```
### Listing Snitches
```ruby
client.snitches
```
Returns an array of Snitches.
### Retrieve a Single Snitch
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
client.snitch(token)
```
Returns a Snitch.
### Retrieve Snitches That Match a Set of Tags
```ruby
client.snitches(tags: ["critical", "sales"])
```
Returns an array of Snitches.
### Create a Snitch
Both `:name` and `:interval` are required. Optional attributes include `:notes`,
and `:tags`. For a full list see [the API documentation](https://deadmanssnitch.com/docs/api/v1#creating-a-snitch).
```ruby
attributes = {
name: "Nightly User Data Backups",
interval: "daily",
notes: "User login and usage data",
tags: ["users", "critical"],
}
client.create_snitch(attributes)
```
Returns the newly-created Snitch.
### Updating a Snitch
You only need to pass the update_snitch function the attributes you want to
change. The rest of a Snitch's attributes will remain the same.
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
attrs = { "name": "Important Nightly User Data Backups" }
client.update_snitch(token, attrs)
```
Returns the edited Snitch.
### Adding Tags to a Snitch
This function adds tags to a Snitch, retaining whatever tags it already has.
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
tags = ["spring_campaign", "support"]
client.add_tags(token, tags)
```
Returns an array of all of the Snitch's tags.
### Deleting a Tag From a Snitch
This function is for deleting a single tag from a Snitch.
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
tag = "support"
client.remove_tag(token, tag)
```
Returns an array of all of the Snitch's remaining tags.
### Setting the Tags on a Snitch
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
client.update_snitch(token, tags: [ "production", "critical" ])
```
### Removing all Tags from a Snitch
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
client.update_snitch(token, tags: [])
```
### Pause a Snitch
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
client.pause_snitch(token)
```
Returns a nil object.
### Delete a Snitch
```ruby
token = "c2354d53d2"
client.delete_snitch(token)
```
Returns a nil object.
