+# HttpApiBuilder
+A simple tool for building API clients that use HTTP.
+
+This is for **clients** as in *consumers*, not for servers. Look into things like Rails-api or Grape for those.
+
+[![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/paradox460/http_api_builder/badges/gpa.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/paradox460/http_api_builder)
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem 'http_api_builder'
+```
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install http_api_builder
+
+## Usage
+
+```ruby
+require 'http_api_builder/client/http_rb'
+
+class ElGoog < HttpApiBuilder::BaseClient
+  include HttpApiBuilder::Client::HttpRb
+
+  base_url 'https://google.com'
+
+  get '/', as: :search, params: {required: :q}
+end
+```
+
+You can then use the API as such:
+
+```ruby
+g = ElGoog.new
+
+g.search(q: 'ruby')
+```
+
+See the wiki for more details.
+
+## License
+
+The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
