 ## vmpooler API
 
 This cli tool uses the [vmpooler API](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler/blob/master/API.md).
+
+## Using the Pooler class
+
+If you want to write some ruby scripts around the vmpooler api, vmfloaty provides a `Pooler` and `Auth` class to make things easier. The ruby script below shows off an example of a script that gets a token, grabs a vm, runs some commands through ssh, and then destroys the vm.
+
+```ruby
+require 'vmfloaty/pooler'
+require 'vmfloaty/auth'
+require 'io/console'
+require 'net/ssh'
+
+def aquire_token(verbose, url)
+  STDOUT.flush
+  puts "Enter username:"
+  user = $stdin.gets.chomp
+  puts "Enter password:"
+  password = STDIN.noecho(&:gets).chomp
+  token = Auth.get_token(verbose, url, user, password)
+
+  puts "Your token:\n#{token}"
+  token
+end
+
+def grab_vms(os_string, token, url, verbose)
+  response_body = Pooler.retrieve(verbose, os_string, token, url)
+
+  if response_body['ok'] == false
+    STDERR.puts "There was a problem with your request"
+    exit 1
+  end
+
+  response_body[os_string]
+end
+
+def run_puppet_on_host(hostname)
+  STDOUT.flush
+  puts "Enter 'root' password for vm:"
+  password = STDIN.noecho(&:gets).chomp
+  user = 'root'
+  # run puppet
+  run_puppet = "/opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/puppet agent -t"
+
+  begin
+    ssh = Net::SSH.start(hostname, user, :password => password)
+    output = ssh.exec!(run_puppet)
+    puts output
+    ssh.close
+  rescue
+    STDERR.puts "Unable to connect to #{hostname} using #{user}"
+    exit 1
+  end
