Hi Ben,


I've made a few REST Clients

http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~pdebruic/Stripe
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~pdebruic/Tropo
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~pdebruic/SegmentIO

And the elasticsearch one but its been advanced mostly lately by Sho Yoshida
(https://github.com/newapplesho) here
https://github.com/newapplesho/elasticsearch-smalltalk

He has also made REST clients for Twilio, AWS, SendGrid, Salesforce, and
Mixpanel among others.

Norbert Hartl made one for Mandrill (Mailchimps transactional email service)
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~NorbertHartl/Mandrill

And Francois Stephany made one for Postmark (another transactional email
service) http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~PharoExtras/Postmark


So those are some examples of different approaches.


I also started/made a cross platform web client wrapper (just wraps calls to
ZnClient or WebClient on Squeak)
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~pdebruic/HTTPAPIClient

But IIRC I only used it in the Stripe API client.


Hope this gives you some ideas about how to approach your own solution

Paul
