Constructor Details

#initialize(options) ⇒ Ably::Rest::Client

Constructs a Ably::Rest::Client object using an Ably API key or token string.

Examples:

# Create a new client authenticating with basic auth using a String object
client = Ably::Rest::Client.new('key.id:secret')

# Construct a RestClient object using a Hash object.
client = Ably::Rest::Client.new(key: 'key.id:secret', client_id: 'john')

Parameters:

  • options (Hash, String)

    an options Hash or String used to configure the client and the authentication, or String with an API key or Token ID

Options Hash (options):

  • :tls (Boolean) — default: true

    When false, TLS is disabled. Please note Basic Auth is disallowed without TLS as secrets cannot be transmitted over unsecured connections.

  • :key (String)

    API key comprising the key name and key secret in a single string

  • :token (String)

    Token string or Models::TokenDetails used to authenticate requests

  • :token_details (String)

    Models::TokenDetails used to authenticate requests

  • :use_token_auth (Boolean)

    Will force Basic Auth if set to false, and Token auth if set to true

  • :environment (String)

    Specify ‘sandbox’ when testing the client library against an alternate Ably environment

  • :protocol (Symbol) — default: :msgpack

    Protocol used to communicate with Ably, :json and :msgpack currently supported

  • :use_binary_protocol (Boolean) — default: true

    When true will use the MessagePack binary protocol, when false it will use JSON encoding. This option will overide :protocol option

  • :log_level (Logger::Severity, Symbol) — default: Logger::WARN

    Log level for the standard Logger that outputs to STDOUT. Can be set to :fatal (Logger::FATAL), :error (Logger::ERROR), :warn (Logger::WARN), :info (Logger::INFO), :debug (Logger::DEBUG) or :none

  • :logger (Logger)

    A custom logger can be used however it must adhere to the Ruby Logger interface, see www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-3.1.1/libdoc/logger/rdoc/Logger.html

  • :client_id (String)

    client ID identifying this connection to other clients

  • :auth_url (String)

    a URL to be used to GET or POST a set of token request params, to obtain a signed token request

  • :auth_headers (Hash)

    a set of application-specific headers to be added to any request made to the auth_url

  • :auth_params (Hash)

    a set of application-specific query params to be added to any request made to the auth_url

  • :auth_method (Symbol) — default: :get

    HTTP method to use with auth_url, must be either :get or :post

  • :auth_callback (Proc)

    when provided, the Proc will be called with the token params hash as the first argument, whenever a new token is required. The Proc should return a token string, Models::TokenDetails or JSON equivalent, Models::TokenRequest or JSON equivalent

  • :query_time (Boolean)

    when true will query the Ably system for the current time instead of using the local time

  • :default_token_params (Hash)

    convenience to pass in token_params that will be used as a default for all token requests. See Auth#create_token_request

  • :http_open_timeout (Integer) — default: 4 seconds

    timeout in seconds for opening an HTTP connection for all HTTP requests

  • :http_request_timeout (Integer) — default: 10 seconds

    timeout in seconds for any single complete HTTP request and response

  • :http_max_retry_count (Integer) — default: 3

    maximum number of fallback host retries for HTTP requests that fail due to network issues or server problems

  • :http_max_retry_duration (Integer) — default: 15 seconds

    maximum elapsed time in which fallback host retries for HTTP requests will be attempted i.e. if the first default host attempt takes 5s, and then the subsequent fallback retry attempt takes 7s, no further fallback host attempts will be made as the total elapsed time of 12s exceeds the default 10s limit

  • :fallback_hosts_use_default (Boolean) — default: false

    When true, forces the user of fallback hosts even if a non-default production endpoint is being used

  • :fallback_hosts (Array<String>)

    When an array of fallback hosts are provided, these fallback hosts are always used if a request fails to the primary endpoint. If an empty array is provided, the fallback host functionality is disabled

  • :fallback_retry_timeout (Integer) — default: 600 seconds

    amount of time in seconds a REST client will continue to use a working fallback host when the primary fallback host has previously failed

  • :add_request_ids (Boolean) — default: false

    When true, adds a unique request_id to each request sent to Ably servers. This is handy when reporting issues, because you can refer to a specific request.

  • :idempotent_rest_publishing (Boolean) — default: false if ver < 1.2

    When true, idempotent publishing is enabled for all messages published via REST

  • :max_message_size (Integer) — default: 65536 bytes

    Maximum size of all messages when publishing via REST publish()

  • :max_frame_size (Integer) — default: 524288 bytes

    Maximum size of frame

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

#auth_request_timeoutObject

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Allowable duration for an external auth request For REST client this defaults to request_timeout For Realtime clients this defaults to 250ms less than the realtime_request_timeout

ensuring an auth failure will be triggered before the realtime request timeout fires
which would lead to a misleading error message (connection timeout as opposed to auth request timeout)

#request(method, path, params = {}, body = nil, headers = {}, options = {}) ⇒ Ably::Models::HttpPaginatedResponse<>

Makes a REST request to a provided path. This is provided as a convenience for developers who wish to use REST API functionality that is either not documented or is not yet included in the public API, without having to directly handle features such as authentication, paging, fallback hosts, MsgPack and JSON support.

Parameters:

  • method (Symbol)

    The request method to use, such as :get, :post.

  • path (String)

    The request path.

  • params (Hash, nil) (defaults to: {})

    The parameters to include in the URL query of the request. The parameters depend on the endpoint being queried. See the REST API reference for the available parameters of each endpoint.

  • body (Hash, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    The JSON body of the request.

  • headers (Hash, nil) (defaults to: {})

    Additional HTTP headers to include in the request.

Returns:

#stats(options = {}) ⇒ Ably::Models::PaginatedResult<Ably::Models::Stats>

Queries the REST /stats API and retrieves your application’s usage statistics. Returns a Models::PaginatedResult object, containing an array of Models::Stats objects. See the Stats docs.

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {})

    the options for the stats request

Options Hash (options):

  • :start (Integer, Time)

    The time from which stats are retrieved, specified as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. RSC6b1

  • :end (Integer, Time)

    The time until stats are retrieved, specified as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. RSC6b1

  • :direction (Symbol)

    The order for which stats are returned in. Valid values are backwards which orders stats from most recent to oldest, or forwards which orders stats from oldest to most recent. The default is backwards. RSC6b2

  • :limit (Integer)

    An upper limit on the number of stats returned. The default is 100, and the maximum is 1000. RSC6b3

  • :unit (Symbol)

    minute, hour, day or month. Based on the unit selected, the given start or end times are rounded down to the start of the relevant interval depending on the unit granularity of the query. RSC6b4

Returns:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

#timeTime

Retrieves the time from the Ably service as milliseconds since the Unix epoch. Clients that do not have access to a sufficiently well maintained time source and wish to issue Ably Models::TokenRequest with a more accurate timestamp should use the #queryTime property instead of this method.

Returns:

  • (Time)

    The time as milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

#using_preferred_fallback_host?nil, String

If the primary host endpoint fails, and a subsequent fallback host succeeds, the fallback

host that succeeded is used for +ClientOption+ +fallback_retry_timeout+ seconds to avoid
retries to known failing hosts for a short period of time.

See github.com/ably/docs/pull/554, spec id #RSC15f

Returns:

  • (nil, String)

    Returns nil (falsey) if the primary host is being used, or the currently used host if a fallback host is currently preferred
