Getting Started with Shell Card Management APIs

Introduction

The Shell Card Management API is REST-based and employs OAUTH 2.0,Basic and ApiKey authentication. The API endpoints accept JSON-encoded request bodies, return JSON-encoded responses and use standard HTTP response codes.
All resources are located in the Shell Card Platform. The Shell Card Platform is the overall platform that encompasses all the internal Shell systems used to manage resources. The internal workings of the platform are not important when interacting with the API. However, it is worth noting that the platform uses a microservice architecture to communicate with various backend systems and some API calls are processed asynchronously. All endpoints use the POST verb for retrieving, updating, creating and deleting resources in the Shell Card Platform. The endpoints that retrieve resources from the Shell Card Platform allow flexible search parameters in the API request body.

Go to the Shell Developer Portal: https://developer.shell.com

Install the Package

Install the gem from the command line:

gem install card-management-sdk -v 1.2.0

Or add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle:

gem 'card-management-sdk', '1.2.0'

For additional gem details, see the RubyGems page for the card-management-sdk gem.

Initialize the API Client

Note: Documentation for the client can be found here.

The following parameters are configurable for the API Client:

Parameter Type Description
environment Environment The API environment.
Default: Environment.SIT
connection Faraday::Connection The Faraday connection object passed by the SDK user for making requests
adapter Faraday::Adapter The Faraday adapter object passed by the SDK user for performing http requests
timeout Float The value to use for connection timeout.
Default: 60
max_retries Integer The number of times to retry an endpoint call if it fails.
Default: 0
retry_interval Float Pause in seconds between retries.
Default: 1
backoff_factor Float The amount to multiply each successive retry's interval amount by in order to provide backoff.
Default: 2
retry_statuses Array A list of HTTP statuses to retry.
Default: [408, 413, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 521, 522, 524]
retry_methods Array A list of HTTP methods to retry.
Default: %i[get put]
http_callback HttpCallBack The Http CallBack allows defining callables for pre and post API calls.
basic_auth_credentials BasicAuthCredentials The credential object for Basic Authentication
bearer_token_credentials BearerTokenCredentials The credential object for OAuth 2 Client Credentials Grant

The API client can be initialized as follows:

client = ShellCardManagementApIs::Client.new(
  basic_auth_credentials: BasicAuthCredentials.new(
    username: 'Username',
    password: 'Password'
  ),
  bearer_token_credentials: BearerTokenCredentials.new(
    o_auth_client_id: 'OAuthClientId',
    o_auth_client_secret: 'OAuthClientSecret'
  ),
  environment: Environment::SIT
)

Environments

The SDK can be configured to use a different environment for making API calls. Available environments are:
