# Toggl API v8

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/togglv8.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/togglv8) [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/kanet77/togglv8.svg "Build Status")](https://travis-ci.org/kanet77/togglv8) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/kanet77/togglv8/badge.svg?branch=master&service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/kanet77/togglv8?branch=master) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/kanet77/togglv8/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/kanet77/togglv8)

[Toggl](http://www.toggl.com) is a time tracking tool.

[togglv8](/) is a Ruby Wrapper for [Toggl API v8](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs). It is designed to mirror the Toggl API as closely as possible.

togglv8 supports both [Toggl API](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/toggl_api.md) and [Reports API](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/reports.md)

## Change Log

See [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for a summary of notable changes in each version.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'togglv8'

```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install togglv8

## Initialization

### TogglV8::API

TogglV8::API communicates with [Toggl API v8](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/toggl_api.md) and can be initialized in one of three ways.

```ruby

TogglV8::API.new                      # reads API token from file ~/.toggl

TogglV8::API.new(api_token)           # explicit API token

TogglV8::API.new(email, password)     # email & password

```

### TogglV8::ReportsV2

TogglV8::ReportsV2 communicates with [Toggl Reports API v2](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs/blob/master/reports.md) and can be initialized in one of three ways. Toggl.com requires authentication with an API token for Reports API v2.

```ruby

TogglV8::ReportsV2.new                              # reads API token from file ~/.toggl

TogglV8::ReportsV2.new(toggl_api_file: toggl_file)  # reads API token from toggl_file

TogglV8::ReportsV2.new(api_token: api_token)        # explicit API token

```

**Note:** `workspace_id` must be set in order to generate reports.

```ruby

toggl = TogglV8::API.new

reports = TogglV8::ReportsV2.new

reports.workspace_id = toggl.workspaces.first['id']

```

## Usage

This short example shows one way to create a time entry for the first workspace of the user identified by ``. It then generates various reports containing that time entry.

```ruby

require 'togglv8'

require 'json'

toggl_api    = TogglV8::API.new()

user         = toggl_api.me(all=true)

workspaces   = toggl_api.my_workspaces(user)

workspace_id = workspaces.first['id']

time_entry   = toggl_api.create_time_entry({

  'description' => "My awesome workspace time entry",

  'wid' => workspace_id,

  'duration' => 1200,

  'start' => toggl_api.iso8601((Time.now - 3600).to_datetime),

  'created_with' => "My awesome Ruby application"

})

begin

  reports               = TogglV8::ReportsV2.new(api_token: )

  begin

    reports.summary

  rescue Exception => e

    puts e.message      # workspace_id is required

  end

  reports.workspace_id  = workspace_id

  summary               = reports.summary

  puts "Generating summary JSON..."

  puts JSON.pretty_generate(summary)

  puts "Generating summary PDF..."

  reports.write_summary('toggl_summary.pdf')

  puts "Generating weekly CSV..."

  reports.write_weekly('toggl_weekly.csv')

  puts "Generating details XLS..."

  reports.write_details('toggl_details.xls')

  # Note: toggl.com does not generate Weekly XLS report (as of 2016-07-24)

ensure

  toggl_api.delete_time_entry(time_entry['id'])

end

```

See specs for more examples.

**Note:** Requests are rate-limited. The togglv8 gem will handle a 429 response by pausing for 1 second and trying again, for up to 3 attempts. See [Toggl API docs](https://github.com/toggl/toggl_api_docs#the-api-format):

> For rate limiting we have implemented a Leaky bucket. When a limit has been hit the request will get a HTTP 429 response and it's the task of the client to sleep/wait until bucket is empty. Limits will and can change during time, but a safe window will be 1 request per second. Limiting is applied per api token per IP, meaning two users from the same IP will get their rate allocated separately.

## Debugging

The `TogglV8::API#debug` method determines if debug output is printed to STDOUT. This code snippet demonstrates the debug output.

```ruby

require 'togglv8'

toggl = TogglV8::API.new

toggl.debug(true)  # or simply toggl.debug

user1 = toggl.me

puts "user: #{user1['fullname']}, debug: true"

puts '-'*80

toggl.debug(false)

user2 = toggl.me

puts "user: #{user2['fullname']}, debug: false"

```
