Today we are proud to announce the release of the SoftLayer Ruby Client, this client has only two simple goals:

• Support all SoftLayer services
• Consume SoftLayer API in a Ruby style

We still have some known issues you can check on README, but we are working on fix everything.

The basic usage is

Softlayer.configure do |config|
  config.username = '<API_USER>'
  config.api_key = '<API_KEY>'
  config.open_timeout = 30 # if you want specify timeout (default 5)
  config.read_timeout = 30 # if you want specify timeout (default 5)
end

Softlayer::Account.get_object # to get the account itself
Softlayer::Account.get_master_user
Softlayer::Account.get_virtual_guests

On next posts we are going to explore the client and see some interesting tricks on how to use it.

Enjoy!
