mbsy

Ambassador API wrapper for Ruby.

This is a lightweight Ruby wrapper for the Ambassador API.

Installation

This library can be installed as a gem. It is hosted on Rubygems.

You can install this library as a gem using the following command:

$ gem install mbsy

Usage

Simply require this library before you use it:

require 'mbsy'

If you're using Rails 3.x, you could include this gem in your Gemfile.

gem 'mbsy'

Install the gem using the following command: $ bundle install

If you're using Rails 2 you could include this gem in your configuration, i.e. in environment.rb

config.gem 'mbsy'

Initialise

Make sure you include your api credentials in an initialiser.

Mbsy.configure do |c|
    c.api_key = 'MY_API_KEY'
    c.user_name = 'MY_USER_NAME'
end

The mbsy gem will give you access to classes such as:

Mbsy::Company
Mbsy::Ambassador
Mbsy::Shortcode

Some examples:

# Add 50 to user account
Mbsy::Balance.update(:add,{:email => '[email protected]', :amount => 50})

# Deduct 25 from user account
Mbsy::Balance.update(:deduct,{:email => '[email protected]', :amount => 25})

# Get company details
Mbsy::Company.get_details

# Register a referral event 
# Note the email address is the new customer email, not the ambassador
# Autocreate flag sets whether they are created as a new ambassador or not
Mbsy::Event.create({:email => '[email protected]', :short_code => REFERRALSHORTCODE, :campaign_uid =>  YOURCAMPAIGNUID, :auto_create => 0})

# Register a revenue event for an ambassador
Mbsy::Event.create({:email => '[email protected]', :short_code => REFERRALSHORTCODE, :revenue => 120, :campaign_uid => YOURCAMPAIGNUID})

# Register a revenue event for an ambassador
# in this case, the email is for a previously registered referred customer, so no short code is required
Mbsy::Event.create({:email => '[email protected]', :revenue => 120, :campaign_uid => YOURCAMPAIGNUID})

# Get the details on a shortcode
Mbsy::Shortcode.find({ :short_code => YOURCAMPAIGNUID })

# Shortcode in a sandbox campaign
Mbsy::Shortcode.find({ :short_code => YOURCAMPAIGNUID, :sandbox => 1 })

Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
Fork the project.
Start a feature/bugfix branch.
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so we don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
