Problems while implementing the gem

Poor API documentation:

- Undocumented parameters (transaction status, limit, offset)

- Not so accurate return values in the documentation examples

Problems while implementing the gem

RestClient was chosen after looking up a few other payment APIs done using Ruby.

It’s not very intuitive to send both params and headers in a GET request [1]

RestClient.get(url, headers: {myheader: 'bar', params: {foo: 'bar'}})➔ GET http://example.com/resource?foo=bar

What’s the gem missing?

- Pagination feature- Usage instructions- Checkout endpoint implementation- Better separation, it’s mostly one big

Bitpagos::Client class

Is it production ready?

NO. Only after the pagination feature is developed and merged to master. Then it should be good to go!
