hyperpublic-0.1.0: A thin wrapper for the Hyperpublic API

Web.Hyperpublic

Description

A thin wrapper for the Hyperpublic API, which uses http-enumerator to fetch results and aeson to return them as JSON. Full documentation for the Hyperpublic API can be found at http://developer.hyperpublic.com/.

The exposed functions of these modules follow a simple pattern: each takes an HpAuth record as well as either a ByteString (for show methods on the API) or a Network.HTTP.Types.SimpleQuery (for find or create methods on the API).

Some basic usage examples follow. (This code is included in the distribution as Examples.hs. Call cabal-install with -f example and it will build an executable called hyperpublic-example.) Usage questions may be posted on the Hyperpublic API Developers mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/hyperpublic-api-developers.
