A Ruby library for Mechanical Turk

RTurk - Super simple library for creating external page HIT’s

Comments

While you could just use the official Amazon library, I built this to be even simpler, but with flexibility to access any MTurk API operation.

If you’re doing very programmatic Mechanical Turk tasks, using the XML question builder can be a bit brittle and limiting, while external pages give you the option to customize your HIT’s more easily. This library is built to make external HIT creation as easy as possible in Ruby.

The library is very new, and I’m planning to spruce it up a bit, but it works as advertised at this point. I’m using it for a fun side project/experiment
