ShiftStats gem

This gem pulls data from Digital Shift sites such as HockeyShift, SoccerShift, LacrosseShift, FootballShift, BasketballShift, and BaseballShift.

Install

You can install shift_stats via rubygems: gem install shift_stats

Usage

require 'shift_stats'

Optionally configure your API key (note: by default uses the same API key as the Android HockeyShift app)

ShiftStats.configure do |config|
  config.api_key 'my_api_key'
end

Create a new instance of ShiftStats with s = ShiftStats.new. This connects to the ShiftStats server, logs in, and stores the ticket hash. This ticket is only valid for a limited amount of time.

Creating an instance of the class can raise an error if there are network issues or the API key is invalid.

There are more endpoints available on Shift sites, but none are documented. Running a mobile app inside an emulator and watching wireshark, fiddler, etc. is how the current endpoints were discovered.
