RingCentral SDK for Ruby

Ruby Reference Twitter

RingCentral Developers is a cloud communications platform which can be accessed via more than 70 APIs. The platform's main capabilities include technologies that enable: Voice, SMS/MMS, Fax, Glip Team Messaging, Data and Configurations.

Additional resources

  • RingCentral API Reference - an interactive reference for the RingCentral API that allows developers to make API calls with no code.
  • Document - an interactive reference for the SDK code documentation.

Getting help and support

If you are having difficulty using this SDK, or working with the RingCentral API, please visit our developer community forums for help and to get quick answers to your questions. If you wish to contact the RingCentral Developer Support team directly, please submit a help ticket from our developer website.

Installation

gem install ringcentral-sdk

If for some reason eventmachine failed to install, please check this.

Name collision with ringcentral gem

The ringcentral gem is using RingCentral's legacy API which was End-of-Lifed in 2018. Everyone is recommended to move to the REST API.

If you have both the ringcentral and ringcentral-sdk gems installed, you will run into a collision error when attempting to initialize the ringcentral-sdk RingCentral SDK.

The solution is gem uninstall ringcentral

Documentation

Usage

require 'ringcentral'

rc = RingCentral.new('clientID', 'clientSecret', 'serverURL')
rc.authorize(jwt: 'jwt-token')

# get
r = rc.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~')
expect(r).not_to be_nil
expect('101').to eq(r.body['extensionNumber'])

How to specify query parameters

for get & delete

rc.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension', { hello: 'world' })

for post, put & patch

rc.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', payload: body, params: { hello: 'world' })

multi-value query parameter

rc.get('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension', { hello: ['world1', 'world2'] })

Above will be translated to /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension?hello=world1&hello=world2.

Token Refresh

Access token expires. You need to call rc.refresh() before it expires. If you want the SDK to do auto refresh please rc.auto_refresh = true before authorization.

Load pre-existing token

Let's say you already have a token. Then you can load it like this: rc.token = your_token_object. The benefit of loading a preexisting token is you don't need to go through any authorization flow.

If what you have is a JSON string instead of a Ruby object, you need to convert it first: JSON.parse(your_token_string).

If you only have a string for the access token instead of for the whole object, you can set it like this:

rc.token = { access_token: 'the token string' }

Send SMS

r = rc.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms', payload: {
    to: [{phoneNumber: ENV['RINGCENTRAL_RECEIVER']}],
    from: {phoneNumber: ENV['RINGCENTRAL_SENDER']},
    text: 'Hello world'
})

Send fax

rc.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/fax',
payload: { to: [{ phoneNumber: ENV['RINGCENTRAL_RECEIVER'] }] },
    files: [
        ['spec/test.txt', 'text/plain'],
        ['spec/test.png', 'image/png']
    ]
)

Send MMS

r = rc.post('/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/sms',
    payload: {
        to: [{ phoneNumber: ENV['RINGCENTRAL_RECEIVER'] }],
        from: { phoneNumber: ENV['RINGCENTRAL_SENDER'] },
        text: 'hello world'
    },
    files: [
        ['spec/test.png', 'image/png']
    ]
)

Subscriptions

WebSocket Subscriptions

events = [
  '/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store',
]
subscription = WS.new(rc, events, lambda { |message|
  puts message
})
subscription.subscribe()

How to keep a subscription running 24 * 7?

There are two main cases that a subscription will be terminated:

  • Absolute time out. The maximum time for a subscription to run is 24 hours. After that, the websocket connection will be closed by the server.
  • Network issue. It could be your local network issue or the server's network issue. In either case, your websocket connection will be closed

In order to keep a subscription running 24 * 7, you need to re-subscribe when the connection is closed.

subscription.on_ws_closed = lambda { |event|
  # make sure that there is no network issue and re-subscribe
  subscription.subscribe()
}

How to test

bundle install

Rename .env.sample to .env.

Edit .env file to specify credentials.

RINGCENTRAL_RECEIVER is a phone number to receive SMS, Fax..etc.

Run bundle exec rspec
