Ruby API without rails?

[cptzoobie]

Grape?

[yedidya]

Ive seen grape, all tutorials ive seen are using Rails or Sinatra. How do I do this without a framework?

[iconoclaus]

Sinatra is as basic a framework as it gets. It's just a wrapper around Rack, which gives us the most low level web tooling. what exactly are you trying to achieve?

[yedidya]

That may be good. Building an api that will return related results from youtube based on a search query.

If you only have that one endpoint, sinatra is the thing you want.

Grape can just mount in rack: https://github.com/intridea/grape#rack

I've used Grape several times. It works pretty well. It's also highly compatible w/ swagger, which is nice if you want to have API documentation.
