build a Ruby gem that provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) to an external data source. The CLI will be composed of an Object Oriented Ruby application. Please note you will be writing code to scrape data or utilize an API from a public website, we are really looking for you to demonstrate your ability to write concise, easy-to-read Object-Oriented Ruby code (e.g. objects, not hashes; separation of concerns). The details of the regex's or the selectors you use to parse your scraped web pages are less important. Write a Technical document that consists of the following 2: 1. Explain your code from execution point to exit point. 2. Refactor code. Project Requirements Provide a CLI Your CLI application must provide access to data from a web page. The data provided must go at least one level deep. A "level" is where a user can make a choice and then get detailed information about their choice. Some examples are below: Movies opening soon - Enter your zip code and receive a list of movies and their details. Libraries near you - Enter your zip code and receive a list of libraries and their details. Programming meetups near you - Choose from an events list and receive details. News reader - List articles and read an article of your choosing. Please do not use projects available on github or internet commonly such as: Music Library CLI, Tic-Tac-Toe with AI, Student Scraper). Also, please refrain from using Kickstarter. Use good OO design patterns. You should be creating a collection of objects, not hashes, to store your data. Pro Tip: Avoid scraping data more than once per web page - utilize objects you have already created. It will speed up your program! If you can do it using an API go for it.
