Topsy

Topsy is a real-time social search engine, a complex social analytics service for the modern Web.

The Topsy Ruby client allows developers to query the Topsy API servers for various data, using solely Ruby code.

The Topsy library will translate these commands into HTTP requests, send them to an API endpoint, wait for the response, translate the response to a more manageable format, and feed the data back to the Ruby application.
