## define class
class Facebook
  ## load and inherit HTTParty class
  include HTTParty
  ## set the default base URI
  base_uri 'https://graph.facebook.com'
  ## set the format to JSON, so that HTTParty will automatically decode it
  format :json

  ## constructor
  def initialize(access_token)
    @access_token = access_token
  end

  def get_info
    self.class.get('/me',:query => { :access_token => @access_token })
