Ruby gem that retrieves the metadata of a given tinyletter newsletter.

### Installation

```gem install tinyletter```

### Usage

```ruby

require 'rubygems'

require 'tinyletter'

newsletter = Tinyletter::Newsletter.new('metafoundry')

puts newsletter.metadata 

```

That will output:

```ruby

{

  :title => "Metafoundry",

  :by => "Deb Chachra",

  :description => "Ingredients include: technology, systems, design, language, social justice, and geography. Less than 0.1% cats by volume. Manufactured in a facility that contains personality, emotions and a worldview.", 

  :archive_url => "http://tinyletter.com/metafoundry/archive"

}

```

#### Requesting the newsletter archive

```ruby

require 'rubygems'

require 'tinyletter'

newsletter = Tinyletter::Newsletter.new('vruba', { with_archive: true })

puts newsletter.metadata

```

If the newsletter has enabled its archives, that will output:

```ruby

{

  :title => "6",

  :by => "Charlie Loyd",

  :description => "Notes on things I’m thinking about, most weekends. Strictly a personal project, representing my own views alone. Recurring themes include psychogeography, space shuttles, food, and complaining.", 

  :archive_url => "http://tinyletter.com/vruba/archive",

  :archive => [{

    :date => "2016-07-25",

    :title => "6, 84: Antennapedia",

    :url => "http://tinyletter.com/vruba/letters/6-84-antennapedia",

    :description => "Of course everyone is talking about the Martha Nussbaum profile in *The New Yorker*  (via @equartey"

  }, {

    :date => "2016-07-11",

    :title => "6, 83: Build a ray",

    :url => "http://tinyletter.com/vruba/letters/6-83-build-a-ray",

    :description => "Hi! I think it’s time to re-introduce myself. This is an irregular newsletter on mixed topics. It comes from wanting to stay in loose touch with more people than I can personally. What I put here is..."

  }]

}
