[Developers] MQL for Ruby?

[Shawn Simister]

The HTTParty gem is a great way to get started with MQL in Ruby. Here's 
some sample code to get you started.

require 'httparty'

class Freebase
  include HTTParty
  format :json
  base_uri 'http://www.freebase.com/api'

  def self.read(q)
    return get('/service/mqlread?', :query => {:query => '{"query":' + q 
+ '}'})['result']
  end
end

query = '{"id":"/en/peru","capital":null,"type":"/location/country"}'
puts Freebase.read(query)['capital']

This code will query Freebase to find the capital of Peru and will write 
the result to the console.
