# rstream

Create your own lifestream, take control of your data.  Example: http://themattmueller.com

## Requirements

 * Ruby (tested with 1.8.7 and REE)

 * Rails 3

 * MySQL

 * Cron (to poll for updates)

## Assumptions

You use one or more of:

 * Twitter

 * Foursquare

 * del.icio.us

 * Flickr

 * Google Reader

You know how to create an application/get an api key from sites requiring it, authorize your user account, and retrieve the various oauth tokens involved.

## Setup

 * Clone rstream and install gems using bundler:

    
git clone [email protected]:mattmueller/rstream.git

    bundle install


 * Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml - modifying with your database credentials, migrate:

    
rake db:migrate


 * Copy config/settings.yml.example to config/settings.yml - fill out the various options (leave account credentials blank to ignore it)

 * Run historic polling to go back in time and get as much data from services as possible (may take a while) from the console:

    
DeliciousBookmark.get_historic_bookmarks

    FlickrPhoto.get_historic_photos

    FoursquareCheckin.get_historic_checkins

    GoogleReaderShare.get_historic_shares

    TwitterStatus.get_historic_statuses


 * In your crontab, set entries for the services you want to poll and the intervals at which you want to poll them, in this case they are combined into a single bash file that is invoked every 5 minutes:

    
#!/bin/bash

    cd /path/to/app/root

    RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "DeliciousBookmark.get_new_bookmarks"

    RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "FlickrPhoto.get_new_photos"

    RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "FoursquareCheckin.get_new_checkins"

    RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "GoogleReaderShare.get_new_shares"

    RAILS_ENV=production script/rails runner "TwitterStatus.get_new_statuses"
