Metropol

metropol is a client for the Metropol Credit Reference Bureau API

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'metropol'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install metropol

Usage

Create an instance of the Metropol client:

client = Metropol::Client.new(public_key: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
			      private_key: 'YOUR PRIVATE_KEY')

Or, configure the module directly

Metropol.configure do |config|
  config.public_key = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'
  config.private_key = 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'
  config.port = 'YOUR_PORT'             # Defaults to 5555
  config.api_version = 'API_VERSION'    # Defaults to 'v2_1'
end

Making requests

Once you have a client (or have configured the module), you can start making requests.

There are 5 API methods you can call, and you can use the following Legal Identification Types to look up data: national_id, passport, service_id, alien_registration, company_id

verify

# You can pass parameters to the method to specify the ID type and number:
client.verify(id_type: :national_id, id_number: 'ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# Or for convenience you can also do:
client.verify.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# And lets say you want to look up a company's credit score
client.verify.company_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')

Or, call the method directly on the module

Metropol.verify.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')

delinquency_status

client.delinquency_status(id_type: :national_id, id_number: 'ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# Or
client.delinquency_status.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# Or
Metropol.delinquency_status.company_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')

credit_score

Metropol.credit_score.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# You know all the other variants by now

json_report

This method also takes a loan_amount parameter (defaults to 0) and a report_reason parameter which could be either: :new_credit_app, :credit_review, :verify_credit_info or :customer_request (defaults to :new_credit_app)

Metropol.json_report(loan_amount: 2000).national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')
# Or
Metropol.json_report(loan_amount: 2000).new_credit_app.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')

noncredit_data

Metropol.noncredit_data.national_id('ID_NUMBER_HERE')
