This is a utility demonstrating the use of the ContexIO API to examine emails in an inbox and parse out friend notifications from a hypothetical BitBuddy.com coder friends website. Emails of note have a subject line of New Friends On BitBiddy.com! (sic).

Inside those messages there are HTML-formatted sections enumerating the friends that have been added.

This gem installs a command-line tool called bbscan that will check the mailbox and print out a list of friends.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bbscan'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bbscan

Before you begin, you need to create add the following variables to your environment: CIO_KEY, CIO_SECRETE, BBS_MAIL. The first two are self-explanatory; the third is the email address that BitBuddy.com is delivering the friend notifications to.

The easiest way to do this is to add a .env file to your project/home directory with the following:

CIO_KEY=<YOUR_CONTEXTIO_KEY>
CIO_SECRET=<YOUR_CONTEXTIO_SECRET>
BBS_MAIL=<YOUR_EMAIL_ACCT>

Then you can use the bbscan command like so:

$ bbscan
  +---------------+-------------------------------------+
  | name          | profile                             |
  +---------------+-------------------------------------+
  | Terrance Lee  | http://bitbuddy.com/users/hone02    |
  | Josh Williams | http://bitbuddy.com/users/jw        |
  | Ben Hamill    | http://bitbuddy.com/users/benhamill |
  | Brad Fults    | http://bitbuddy.com/users/h3h       |
  +---------------+-------------------------------------+

$

The application will cache results between runs so that you don't keep seeing the same friends in the list over and over. If you want to bust the cache, delete the file ~/.bbscan_cache.
