LCBO: The Ruby Gem

This library is used to gather data for LCBO API. It allows you to request and parse store, product, inventory, product list, and store list pages directly from the LCBO website.

Synopsis

  require 'lcbo'

  LCBO.store(511)
  # => { :id => 511, :name => "King & Spadina", ... }

  LCBO.product(18)
  # => { :id => 18, :name => "Heineken Lager", ... }

  LCBO.inventory(18)
  # => { :id => 18, :inventory_count => 40398, :inventories => [ ... ] }

  LCBO.product_list(1)
  # => { :page => 1, :final_page => 108, ..., :product_ids => [ ... ] }

  LCBO.store_list
  # => { :store_ids => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, ...] }
