cocoadocs-api

This is more of an API for CocoaDocs than the other way around.

What is this?

The CocoaDocs API is a conduit between CocoaDocs the hosted Mac-Mini that generates a lot of the metadata around a CocoaPod release, and CocoaPods Trunk.

Within that scope has three major roles:

• Take CocoaDocs data and move it into the trunk database ( thereby making it available as an API)
• Perform the CocoaPods Quality Indexes with the data sent from CocoaDocs.
• Tweet out awesome Pods, via @CremeDeLaPods

It uses token based authentication with the CocoaDocs server to ensure anyone can't submit their own data..

It has three API routes:

• get '/'' -> Says Hello, so you know all is good.
• post '/pods/:name' -> Submits JSON data + token from CocoaDocs for parsing and moving into the db.
• get '/pods/:name/stats' -> Returns a JSON array of the QIs that apply to a Pod. This is so we can build user interfaces like the one seen on CocoaPods.org.

As QIs are changed, they can be updated by rake update_all_qis.
