# The People Data Labs Ruby Helper Library

The People Data Labs Ruby Helper Library makes it easy to interact with our APIs from your Ruby application. You can find the [most recent version of the library on RubyGems](https://rubygems.org/gems/peopledatalabs).

## How To Install the Library

This library is available as a Ruby gem, and you can install it like this:

```bash Shell theme={null}
gem install peopledatalabs
```

## Using the Library

Make sure that you sign up for a [free PDL API key](https://www.peopledatalabs.com/signup) if you don't already have one.

```ruby Ruby theme={null}
# See https://github.com/peopledatalabs/peopledatalabs-ruby
require 'peopledatalabs'
require 'json'

# Set your API key
Peopledatalabs.api_key = 'api_key'

# Pass parameters to the Person Enrichment API
result = Peopledatalabs::Enrichment.person(params: { profile: 'linkedin.com/in/seanthorne' })

# Check for successful response
if result['status'] == 200
    # Print the API response in JSON format
    puts JSON.pretty_generate(result['data'])
else
    puts "Status: #{result['status']};"\
       "\nReason: #{result['error']['type']};"\
       "\nMessage: #{result['error']['message']};"
end
```
