Ruby Geocoding Quick Start Guide - QuotaGuard

    Table of contents

    Installation

    When you sign up with QuotaGuard on Heroku, you will be provided with a unique username and password that you can use when configuring your proxy service in your application:

    http://username:password@proxy.quotaguard.com:9292

    We recommend you store the connection string in an environment variable QUOTAGUARD_URL to maintain compatibility with platforms like Heroku.

    You can test your proxy setup using curl:

    $ curl -x username:password@proxy.quotaguard.com:9292 http://www.google.com/

    Integration

    Ruby Geocoder is the leading geocoding solution for Ruby and Rails and works seamlessly with QuotaGuard.

    Simply add your authenticated connection string in to the geocoder initializer.

    # config/initializers/geocoder.rb
Geocoder.configure(
...
:http_proxy => ENV["QUOTAGUARD_URL"],
:timeout => 5 
)
