The twingly-search gem talks to a commercial blog search API and requires an API key. Best practice is to set the TWINGLY_SEARCH_KEY environment variable to the obtained key. Twingly::Search::Client can be passed a key at initialization if your setup does not allow environment variables.

Example code can be found in examples/.

Too learn more about the capabilities of this API you should read the Twingly Search API documentation.
