Configuration

Your license key is how MaxMind will identify you, so it is required.

Minfraud.configure do |c|
  c.license_key = 'abcd1234'
  c.requested_type = 'standard'
end

requested_type can be set during configuration to use that default value or it can be set on the transaction. If unset minFraud will default to the highest level of service available to you.

Usage

transaction = Minfraud::Transaction.new do |t|
  # Required fields
  # Other fields listed later in documentation are optional
  t.ip = '1.2.3.4'
  t.city = 'richmond'
  t.state = 'virginia'
  t.postal = '12345'
  t.country = 'US' # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1
  # ...
end

transaction.risk_score
# => 3.48

Exception handling

There are three different exceptions that this gem may raise. Please be prepared to handle them:

# Raised if configuration is invalid
class ConfigurationError < ArgumentError; end

# Raised if a transaction is invalid
class TransactionError < ArgumentError; end

# Raised if minFraud returns an error, or if there is an HTTP error
class ResponseError < StandardError; end
