JarCastingAngelList Client
This library provides a simple Java / JVM client that hits the AngelList API.
So far, the following API calls have been implemented:
- Get a Startup
- Get a Startup's roles
- Get a User
- Get a tag's Startups
- Get a tag's parent tags
- Get a tag's child tags
Usage
The project can be found in maven central:
<dependency>
<groupId>vc.inreach.angellist</groupId>
<artifactId>angellist-client</artifactId>
<version>0.0.5</version>
</dependency>
The library uses Java8 Optionals and ZonedDateTime objects, so you'll need to make sure the Jersey Client is given an ObjectMapper with the requisite modules.
final ObjectMapper objectMapper = Jackson.newObjectMapper();
objectMapper.registerModule(new Jdk8Module());
objectMapper.registerModule(new JavaTimeModule());
final JacksonJaxbJsonProvider jacksonProvider = new JacksonJaxbJsonProvider();
jacksonProvider.setMapper(objectMapper);
final Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient(new ClientConfig(jacksonProvider));
Currently the only implementation for the AngellistClient is the HttpAngellistClient which uses Jersey 2 HTTP client. How very Dropwizard-y.
Building
Contributing back to the project would be greatly appreciated. The project includes an integration test which hits the live AngelList API with your API key.
Obviously I don't want to commit our key so you need to add the key to src/test/resources/.angellist_key and make sure you never commit it!
