Re: heroku-api
Thanks for the great feedback and sharing code to help others who might be encountering this. Prioritization is always tricky and this is one of those things that has been on our radar but hasn't quite topped the list yet. Hopefully we'll be able to move toward a better solution from the server end to make this cleaner and provide for detached processes soon, but as per Keith no promises. Kind of an aside, but a couple other things you might check out in case you were unaware of them: For direct interactions I would probably recommend the heroku-api gem instead of Heroku::Client, see: https://github.com/heroku/heroku.rb. Although I think it may have the same credentials issue you mentioned. I think that can be gotten around using the netrc gem (which is what the toolbelt does internally also). Happy to provide details if you need them. From there I think you can also use the rendezvous gem to connect to a process and stream stuff if needed (this mimics the attached behavior). There may be some pieces missing from one/both, but they may help fill in some gaps compared to the client as they were written for outside programmatic usage (whereas Client is mostly used by the toolbelt).

Heroku API authentication using email and password
According to the Heroku API docs https://api-docs.heroku.com/, authentication is done using the User's API Key as password, and a blank username, through HTTP Basic authentication. However, i found that authentication works even if I use the account email and password. I just wanted to check whether this is 'allowed'. The command-line tool useshttps://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/authenticationthis method, but I want to use it in an iOS app i'm developing. Using the email and password for login would be preferred, as it is much easier to input than the API key.

Re: Heroku API authentication using email and password
Hi Arvindh, Currently we take both the user API key and password for any API calls, but that might change in the future. The best approach for now is to use the Auth API with the username and password, store the API key from the response and use it for subsequent API calls. The API looks like this: POST https://api.heroku.com/login Params: username, password Response: JSON { api_key: abc123 } Thanks, Pedro On Sun, Apr 15, 2012 at 11:39 PM, Arvindh Sukumar arvsuku...@gmail.com wrote: According to the Heroku API docs, authentication is done using the User's API Key as password, and a blank username, through HTTP Basic authentication. However, i found that authentication works even if I use the account email and password. I just wanted to check whether this is 'allowed'. The command-line tool uses this method, but I want to use it in an iOS app i'm developing. Using the email and password for login would be preferred, as it is much easier to input than the API key.

Re: My (flawed?) attempt to add or subtract workers via Heroku API.
Well, lo and behold, its working -- on the Aspen stack, no less! The trick was to keep the code block in the controller or model the action was being called from. The only thing not working at this point is adding a worker when one is already running. heroku.set_workers(ENV['HEROKU_APP'], +1) sets workers to 1, rather than adding 1 to the total. heroku.set_workers(ENV['HEROKU_APP'], -1) definitely subtracts a worker, though. So I guess I'll try assigning the current number of workers to a variable, add one to that variable, and place it where the quantity goes in the set_workers command. Problem solved!

I may misunderstand how workers get charged on heroku, but from what I've seen at http://docs.heroku.com/background-jobs and http://docs.heroku.com/delayed-job, workers get charged $0.05/hr each no matter how many are running, pro-rated to the second.

Re: My (flawed?) attempt to add or subtract workers via Heroku API.
That was a good call, you definitely don't want to store variables in config vars. Save if for constants (passwords, urls, etc). It seems like you might be getting an error due to different versions of RestClient, not sure though. What version are you using? What's the stack trace for the exception? On a side note, if it helps you can call heroku workers passing relative values, like +3, -1, etc. On Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 12:00 PM, rubynoob mysmilecent...@gmail.com wrote: Instead of storing the count of active workers as a heroku config variable, I decided to create a table in our database to store the value in.

Re: My (flawed?) attempt to add or subtract workers via Heroku API.
Sorry, I forgot to provide some important details. Someday I won't be so noobish about all this stuff. :) I'm using Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows XP, Rails 2.3.2, heroku gem 1.15.1, and delayed_job gem 2.0.5. I would have tried ddollar's heroku-autoscale, but it's not ready for production apps, and from what I've read, doesn't scale workers, only dynos. I tried lostboy's workless gem, but couldn't get it working (sorry, it's been several days, and I can't remember why it didn't work--I may try again). Thanks.

Re: My (flawed?) attempt to add or subtract workers via Heroku API.
Kudos to you if you were really able to do what you were trying to do. It looks like something really useful and complicated and I didn't think it would be possible at all in production since there's only so much you can fine tune about workers in Heroku. Congrats!

Heroku API Hang/Authentication Problems
Hi, This is in response to the API problems people have been having and particularly in response to Adam's post at http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2008/3/3/api_and_external_git_access/. I hope this is not a redundant post, but it seems people are still having problems in my brief search of the mailing list. Anyway, onto the fix that has worked for me. My experience with this problem is that it has something to do with being logged in via the web browser. Every time I've had the problem with the heroku gem, I've found that logging off in the browser will make the gem/API work again. I couldn't say where this problem would manifest itself in the Heroku source, but I thought everyone should know. Again, I hope this hasn't been posted before.
