Export API

Start the connection

client = Enigma::Client.new

dl = client.export('us.gov.census.internet.usage11')

This did not download anything. The api replied with a link to where the file will eventually be

puts dl.download_url

Secret one time url

If you want the actual contents, you can ask the client to poll until the file is available

dl.get # puts the zipped contents in dl.raw_download

Write the zipped contents to a file

zipfile = File.open('out.zip', 'wb')

dl.write zipfile

Write the unzipped contents to a file

csvfile = File.open('out.csv', 'wb')

dl.write_csv csvfile

Read the contents of the csv file

dl.parse.each do |row|
   puts row.inspect
end
