Buoyancy

A Ruby gem for getting data from the NDBC (National Data Buoy Center). The data provided by these stations (buoys) is incredibly useful, but the data itself is inconsistent, poorly formatted, and somewhat difficult to figure out how to get. This gem is a wrapper that simplifies all of that.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "buoyancy"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install buoyancy

Usage

require "rubygems"
require "bundler"
Bundler.setup

require "buoyancy"

# Get a list of all the stations
Buoyancy.stations

# Meteorological data coming soon
# Buoyancy.station("0y2w3").meteorological
