Nexmo APIs Quickstart Examples for Ruby on Rails

The purpose of the quickstart guide is to provide simple examples focused on one goal. For example, sending an SMS, handling an incoming SMS webhook or making a Text to Speech call.

Configure with Your Nexmo API Keys

To use this sample you will first need a Nexmo account. Once you have your own API credentials, rename the .env.example file to .env and set the values as required.

For some of the examples you will need to buy a number.

$ git clone git@github.com:Nexmo/nexmo-rails-quickstart.git
$ cd nexmo-rails-quickstart
$ cp .env.example .env
$ bundle install
$ rake db:create
$ rake db:migrate
