Bitpagos API docsBitpagos offers *some* documentation for their API:

http://docs.bitpagos.net/en/transaction-status/

API Endpoints3 main endpoints:

- Authentication (already tackled by github.com/etagwerker/omniauth-bitpagos)

- Checkout- Transaction

API Endpoints3 main endpoints:

- GET /oauth2/authorize- POST /oauth2/access_token- POST /checkout- GET /transaction

API EndpointsOnly the Transaction endpoint has been covered by the gem so far, which allows you to grab (GET) the transactions in your Bitpagos account.

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!
