#restclient gem

Some days ago I had a project where it was needed to automatically post some information in Facebook.

As always, I tried to find my answer in a gem, I really don't like to "redo the wheel", but for this time and particular situation I had nothing to help me.

So I gather some pieces of information, read some facebook documentation ( and I must say it wasn't easy to reach this ).

You need to create a facebook application

You need to generate the application access token ( change to your APP_ID and APP_SECRET )

You need the gem 'rest-client' to help you do a POST request to facebook

RestClient.post "https://graph.facebook.com/#{fb_app_id}/feed", { 

    :access_token => access_token, 

    :message      => 'Your awesome message in here',

    :link         => 'http://thinkorange.pt',

    :name         => 'Think Orange',

}
