A Ruby script for collecting phone record statistics from a Facebook user data dump
#! /usr/bin/env ruby
# NOTE: Requires Ruby 2.1 or greater.

# the 'html/contact_info.htm' file in a Facebook user data ZIP download.
#
# It prints all cell phone call + SMS message + MMS records, plus a summary of each.
#
# It also dumps all of the records into CSV files inside a 'CSV' folder, that is created

API Golden Rules

Never Expose DB Results Directly

  1. If you rename a field, then your users are fucked. Convert with a hardcoded array structure.
  2. Most DB drivers [for PHP] will show integers as numeric strings and false as "0", so you want to typecast them.
  3. Unless you're using an ORM with "hidden" functionality, people will see passwords, salts and all sorts of fancy codes. If you add one and forget to put it in your $hidden array then OOPS!

Use the URI sparingly, and correctly

  1. Use the query string for paired params instead of /users/id/5/active/true. Your API does not need to be SEO optimised.
  2. ?format=xml is stupid, use an Accept: application/xml header. I added this to the CodeIgniter Rest Server once for lazy people, and now people think it's a thing. It's not.
