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?
