Usage

Synopsis

require 'ringcentral_sdk'

client = RingCentralSdk::REST::Client.new do |config|
  # App info (mandatory)
  config.client_id = 'myAppClientID'
  config.client_secret = 'myAppClientSecret'
  config.server_url = RingCentralSdk::RC_SERVER_SANDBOX

  # JWT Bearer Grant (optional)
  config.jwt = 'myJwt'

  # Set a custom logger (optional)
  config.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

  # Enable HTTP retries for 429, 503, and 504 errors
  # Set custom codes and retry after using retry_options
  config.retry = true
end

# Send SMS
res = client.messages.sms.create(
  from: '+16505551212',
  to: '+14155551212',
  text: 'Hi there!'
)

More information on the authorization code flow:

API Requests

API requests can be made via the included Faraday client or RingCentralSdk::Helpers::Request subclasses. These are described below.

Generic HTTP Requests

To make generic API requests, use included Faraday client which can be accessed via client.http. The client automatically adds the correct access token to the HTTP request and handles OAuth token refresh using the OAuth gem.

This is useful to access many API endpoints which do not have custom wrappers and for debugging purposes.

http = client.http

SMS and MMS Examples

SMS:

client.messages.sms.create(
  from: '+16505551212',
  to: '+14155551212',
  text: 'Hi there!'
)

MMS with media file:

client.messages.sms.create(
  from: '+16505551212',
  to: '+14155551212',
  text: 'Hi there!',
  media: '/filepath/to/file.ext'
)

Fax Examples

Fax files:

client.messages.fax.create(
  to: '+14155551212',
  coverPageText: 'Hi there!',
  files: ['/path/to/myfile.pdf']
)

Fax text:

client.messages.fax.create(
  to: '+14155551212',
  coverPageText: 'Hi there!',
  text: 'Hi there!'
)

Subscription Example

To make subscriptions with RingCentral, use the SDK object to create subscription Observer object and then add observers to it.

# Create an observer object
class MyObserver
  def update(message)
    puts 'Subscription Message Received'
    puts JSON.dump(message)
  end
end

# Create an observable subscription and add your observer
sub = client.create_subscription
sub.add_observer MyObserver.new

# Subscribe to an arbitrary number of event filters
sub.subscribe ['/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/presence']

# End the subscription
sub.destroy

Examples

See examples in the scripts folder.

A simple read only script is account-extensions.rb which can be used to validate your app configuration.
