I am looking for Googoe Shared conatact API ruby gem.
Is there any good ruby gem for Google Shared Contacts API?
This is the only one I have found but it has not been maintained for a while. It might need some work.
This blog post has a discussion of how to do it on your own if you are interested (and it is more recent).

Problem
Need to implement contacts importer/chooser on Rails4 project. Needed providers - Gmail, Facebook, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Outlook.
Researches
Tried omnicontacts and contacts gems but both has some limitations and maybe outdated for some providers.
There is commercial project which do this for you - CloudSponge , but I prefer open source.
Current Status
Implemented Linkedin contacts import using devise, omniauth, omniauth-linkedin.
Implemented Gmail contacts import using omnicontatcs.
Failed with other providers.
Queastion
Is there any other all-in-one solutions (maybe I missed something) which could be useful for my issue or I have to implement all things from scratch, maybe using already outdated gems/libs ?
Another thing I was thinking, maybe this task better to solve on client side using javascript libraries?
If you to try implement contacts importer in a do-it-youself way, the first goal will be proper learn OAuth2 and all the 4 authentication flows. I like this blog post explanation.
Then if you want to use a client-side-only solution for OAuth2, you'll need to use the Implicit flow.
For Google Contacts, you can find Implicit flow documentation here.
Disclaimer: I work for CloudSponge, and I'm a big fan of free/open-source solutions too. I even use Linux as my desktop :)
I want to gather google analytics data for daily/monthly report. All visitors, visitors for specific path and conversion rate. Setting for google analytics is already done (I think).
I searched ruby libraries, but many informations are out-of-dated and google api is sometimes update.
Now(2012-09-28) what library is popular? And How to get data? I searched ruby-toolbox, but both two libraries are still active?

My first step: view data
My second step: edit data(Add note or notation)
thanks,
Google-Api-Client works fine, is an official client and is constantly updated, just check the commit logs and you will see. Note that this API is not for Google Analytics only but for any Google API that uses the Google Discovery API. You should try that.
Regardless of the client that you use make sure it's compatible with the latest version of the API. If it's built using the Google API Discovery service it's a plus because that means the client library will have support for new methods as soon as they are available. It's like an API for building API clients.
GARB on the other hand seems to be abandoned for a while and is probably missing out on several features that came recently.
Note that the Google Analytics API are currently read only. So no client library will support that since there's no API for writing annotations. There's a feature request for that though.
I'd like to use the official Ruby client library to access the Contacts API, but that one is not on the list of supported APIs. What would it take to change that? I'm willing to pitch in, but a shove in the right direction would help. Thanks!
Isn't this already supported with the Google Data on Rails API? Integrating this in the official Ruby client library shouldn't be that much work.
I'm trying to interface with the Google Docs APIs, namely the Google Documents List Data API v3.0.
Are there any open-source Ruby libraries that can do the interfacing? Google has a Python api released for v3.0; I'm looking for something similar.
(I'm trying to develop a webapp that converts from PowerPoint to a Google doc.)
Have you tried the gdata gem? I'm not sure it helps, but it has a number of clients for working with Google Data APIs, namely the DocList...
So far I've come across the following Facebook API libraries for Ruby/Ruby-on-Rails:
Facebooker
Koala
Mogli
Facebooker2
fb_graph
facebook_oauth
I was wondering if anyone knows why there are so many, and if anyone has a rough idea of which to use when?
I did the same search recently and ultimately chose Koala. Facebooker was the clear choice a couple years ago, but it's out of date now with so many recent facebook api changes. Koala and fb_graph seem to be the most popular now. Koala is easy to use for accessing the graph api. I haven't used it for the older rest api, though Koala does support it. The only difficult part I've found is the facebook authentication with oauth - though that's probably facebook itself rather than Koala.
Relevant discussion here as well: Is fb_graph or Koala ruby gem better than facebooker2, using the facebook graph?
I have had the same problem : "which one to use ?" and i tried Facebooker, Mogli and fb_graph.
I can say that fb_graph is the best and the most mature and up to date and well documented ( you can read the facebook DOC and apply it to fb_graph. it works like magic).
