watsonwork-helloworld

Ruby app that sends and receives messages to a space in [IBM Watson Workspace] (https://workspace.ibm.com).

The Watson Work platform provides spaces for people to exchange messages in conversations. This sample app shows how to retrieve information about a space, then send a message to the conversation in that space. It also demonstrates how to authenticate an application and obtain the OAuth token needed to make Watson Work API calls.

Registering the app

In your Web browser, go to [Watson Work Services - Apps] (https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/apps), add a new app named Hello World and write down its app id and app secret.

Adding the app to a space

Leave the terminal window open as you'll need it again soon.

In your Web browser, go to Watson Workspace, create a space named Examples, then open the Apps tab for that space and add the Hello World app to it.

What API does the app use?

The app uses the [Watson Work OAuth API] (https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/docs) to authenticate and get an OAuth token. It then uses the [Watson Work GraphQL API] (https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/docs) to retrieve a list of spaces. Finally, it uses the [Watson Work Spaces API] (https://workspace.ibm.com/developer/docs) to send a message to the conversation in the selected space.
