Sawyer is an experimental hypermedia agent for Ruby built on top of Faraday.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install sawyer

require "sawyer"
# Create a Sawyer agent
agent = Sawyer::Agent.new("https://api.github.com",
  links_parser: Sawyer::LinkParsers::Simple.new)
# Fetch the root of the API
root = agent.root.data
# Access a resource directly
contributors = agent.call(:get, "repos/lostisland/sawyer/contributors").data
# Load a hypermedia relation
top_contributor = contributors.first
followers = top_contributor.rels[:followers].get.data
