Installation
Prerequisites
This driver targets ghc 7.4.1 and The Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0. Please follow the installation instructions for your specific platform to install ghc and The Haskell Platform.
Installation from cabal
$ cabal install factual-api
Installation from git
$ git clone git@github.com:rudyl313/factual-haskell-driver.git
$ cabal install hoauth
$ cabal install aeson
Tests
Load the tests file into ghci to run the tests:
$ ghci test/Tests.hs
To run the integration tests you'll need an API key and secret, but you can always run the unit tests:
*Main> runUnitTests
Cases: 43 Tried: 43 Errors: 0 Failures: 0
Counts {cases = 43, tried = 43, errors = 0, failures = 0}
*Main> runIntegrationTests "mykey" "mysecret"
Cases: 9 Tried: 9 Errors: 0 Failures: 0
Counts {cases = 9, tried = 9, errors = 0, failures = 0}
Documentation
You can read library documentation by opening docs/index.html in your browser or by visiting the Hackage page.
Examples
See the examples directory for examples of each query type. To run an example go to the project root and execute these commands:
$ ghc -o example examples/ReadExample.hs --make
$ ./example mykey mysecret
In this example replace mykey with your key and mysecret with your secret. Note that compiling the source code generates .o and .hi files in the source directories.
Notes
Writes
Although there is code in the current version to support API writes, these features have not yet been implemented in the Factual API. Please refrain from attempting to use these features until they have been officially announced.
Crosswalk deprecation
The Crosswalk API endpoint has been migrated into a regular read table. For more information see the Factual V3 documentation.
