I recently had to use the FormStack API in the context of a Rails app. You need to make these calls over SSL, and API returns either XML or JSON. I chose JSON because it's much easier to work with in my opinion and I hate XML.

Below is a simple example. Check out the FormStack API documentation for all the other API calls.
