Postie - The Gem

An addition to auspostie.com, prompted by Dr Nic’s suggestion in the comments of the earlier blog post – the postie gem. It allows easy parsing of Postie search results, and also provides a command-line tool for searching.

By suburb:

postie Brunswick

By postcode:

postie 3070

To install:

sudo gem install postie

To use within your own ruby code:

require 'postie'

Postie::Locality.find("Melbourne")

Again, extremely simple, but just makes access to the data that little bit easier.

Now, what would be really cool is a Quicksilver plugin that queries the API. Any volunteers to code that up?

A library that looks really useful for when you're dealing with data to report on, as opposed to ActiveRecord models.
