Description

This is a simple job for a Number widget to display your team's Coderwall rank. (As seen on https://coderwall.com/leaderboard )

Be sure to set the CODERWALL_TEAM variable with the name of your team as it appears in the URL for your team.

Since the Coderwall rank only seems to change daily, I recommend bumping up the scheduler to only request the JSON as infrequently as you can stand. The Coderwall API is free and doesn't require authentication, and I'd like it if it stayed that way versus them requiring OAuth or some other mechanism to ensure people aren't killing their API.

Insert something like this into your Dashboard:

    <li data-row="2" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
      <div data-id="coderwall" data-view="Number" style="background-color:#2A76C6;"></div>
    </li>

coderwall.rb

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

SCHEDULER.every '30m', :first_in => '5s' do |job|
  uri = URI.parse("https://coderwall.com/team/#{ENV['CODERWALL_TEAM']}.json")
  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
  http.use_ssl = true
  request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
  response = http.request(request)
  status = JSON.parse(response.body)

  name = status['name']
  rank = status['rank']
  team_size = status['size']
  moreinfo = name + ", currently at " + team_size.to_s + " members. (Lower is better.)"

  send_event("coderwall", {title: "Coderwall Rank", current: rank, moreinfo: moreinfo})
end
