Ruby uninitialized constant Pipl::Person (NameError)

Question

I am trying to integrate the Pipl API into my ruby on rails application. I am using ruby version 2.3.4 and rails 4.2.5. As a reference i looked at this site and copied the ruby version of the code directly from it into a ruby file. When I run the ruby file in the terminal i get the error:

`<main>': uninitialized constant Pipl::Person (NameError)

Any ideas why I'm getting this error? Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is the code snippet that I used:

require 'pipl'

person = Pipl::Person.new
person.add_field Pipl::Name.new(first: 'Clark', last: 'Kent')
person.add_field Pipl::Address.new(country: 'US', state: 'KS', city: 
'Smallville')
person.add_field Pipl::Address.new(country: 'US', state: 'KS', city:  
'Metropolis')

response = Pipl::client.search person: person, api_key: 'myKEY' #I used my actual key here

puts "#{response}"

Thanks!

Answer 1

In order to use the Pipl API without the error, I got my API key through their site and I added piplapis-ruby gem just like what was told in the comments above. I imported all of the ruby classes found here: https://github.com/piplcom/piplapis-ruby into my project and pasted the codesnippet.rb file found here: https://github.com/piplcom/piplapis-ruby which was the ruby file you're supposed to execute. There was no need for me to create the Person class.
