puts advice #{"slip" => {"id" => 13, "advice" => "If you're feeling tired or anxious, a pint of water will almost always make you feel better."}}
# again parsed to key value hashes!!

require "path/to/advice"

client = Advice.new

puts advice #{"slip" => {"id" => 13, "advice" => "If you're feeling tired or anxious, a pint of water will almost always make you feel better."}}
# again parsed to key value hashes!!

require "path/to/advice"

client = Advice.new

query = client.advice.search("coffee")
puts advice #{"total_results": "1", "query": "coffee", "slips": [{"id":219,"advice":"Try buying a coffee for the creator of a free public API, now and then.","date":"2021-08-16"}]}

^{So simple!}

Roadmap

• Maybe better error handling
• transform to a shard
