Hi FroZen_X, thanks for the link. Somehow that inspired me to step back a bit and first take a look at python

Hey ctwise, hey Shawn,

thanks for your feedback and your code. I'll keep the point about different ruby versions in mind. 

However, from a more general point, would it make sense to rather learn python to use the broad range of workflows already written for alfred? At least that is the impression I got when I looked in some workflows I downloaded?

Thanks

Maddes

Hey Folks,

I want to start creating workflows with Ruby for Alfred. I learned basic Ruby on Codecademy and have a little background in developing with Java and Objective-C, so at least OOP is familiar.

However, most content I find on developing with Ruby is kind of centered around the language elements and getting them right. Though I definitely need practice, it is not exactly what I am looking for. I want to gain experience in calling applications / APIs and how to get familiar with new APIs.

You can probably already see how lost I am by how I am describing the topic

To wrap it up: I am looking for some tutorials, good coding examples on connecting to APIs with Ruby. Best case would be an integration with a alfred workflow. On the far horizon I want to connect to the GCalendar API to search and create events, but that's just a reference where I want to be somewhen in the future.

Thanks for your advice!
