Installation

gem install ringcentral-sdk

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

Usage

require 'ringcentral'

rc = RingCentral.new('clientID', 'clientSecret', 'serverURL')
rc.authorize(username: 'username', extension: 'extension', password: 'password')

# 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 preexisting token

Let's say you already have a token. Then you can load it like this: rc.token = your_token_object.

The benifits 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_USERNAME']},
    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_USERNAME'] },
        text: 'hello world'
    },
    files: [
        ['spec/test.png', 'image/png']
    ]
)

PubNub subscription

def createSubscription(callback)
    events = [
        '/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store',
    ]
    subscription = PubNub.new(rc, events, lambda { |message|
        callback.call(message)
    })
    subscription.subscribe()
    return subscription
end

createSubscription(lambda { |message|
    puts message
})

For more sample code, please refer to the test cases.

How to test

bundle install --path vendor/bundle

Create .env file with the following content:

RINGCENTRAL_SERVER_URL=https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com
RINGCENTRAL_CLIENT_ID=
RINGCENTRAL_CLIENT_SECRET=
RINGCENTRAL_USERNAME=
RINGCENTRAL_EXTENSION=
RINGCENTRAL_PASSWORD=
