Very quick and dirty Ruby script to download a backup of AppFog database via the AppFog API

gistfile1.rb

# Purpose: Download a full export of an AppFog database
# API details taken from https://github.com/lucperkins/appfog-api-docs

require 'json'
require 'httparty'
require 'zip'

# Fetch your AppFog token
# You may need to run the command 'af login' if your token has expired
file_contents = File.read('/home/vagrant/.af_token')
parsed = JSON.parse(file_contents)
af_token = parsed["https://api.appfog.com"]

# Trigger database export & get the url (i.e. equivalent to 'af export-service SERVICENAME')
response = HTTParty.get "https://api.appfog.com/services/export/YOURSERVICENAME", 
        :headers => {"Authorization" => "#{af_token}"}
uri = response.parsed_response["uri"]

# Download the file
root_filename = "database_backup_" + Time.now.strftime("%Y_%m%d_%H%M%S")
File.open(root_filename + ".zip", "wb") do |f| 
  f.write HTTParty.get(uri).parsed_response
end

# Extract the actual backup file from the zip
Zip::ZipFile.open(root_filename + ".zip") do |zipfile|
  zipfile.each do |file|
    if file.name[-7..-1] == '.sql.gz'
      file.extract (root_filename + ".sql.gz")
    end
  end
end
