Class methods

query(account, attempts = 10)

Returns the result of querying for the specified account.

The account should conform to the 'acct' URI Scheme. Liberal validation of this format eases federation with other popular servers.

w = WebFinger.query("acct:toddsundsted@epiktistes.com") # => #<WebFinger::Result:0x108d...>
w.link("http://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page").href # => "https://epiktistes.com/@toddsundsted"

Raises WebFinger::NotFoundError if the account does not exist and WebFinger::RedirectionError if redirection failed. Otherwise, returns WebFinger::Result.
