Installation
gem install ringcentral-sdk
If for some reason eventmachine
failed to install, please check this.
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(jwt: 'jwt-token')
# 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 pre-existing token
Let's say you already have a token. Then you can load it like this: rc.token = your_token_object
.
The benefit 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_SENDER']},
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_SENDER'] },
text: 'hello world'
},
files: [
['spec/test.png', 'image/png']
]
)
Subscriptions
WebSocket Subscriptions
events = [
'/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store',
]
subscription = WS.new(rc, events, lambda { |message|
puts message
})
subscription.subscribe()
How to keep a subscription running 24 * 7?
There are two main cases that a subscription will be terminated:
- Absolute time out. The maximum time for a subscription to run is 24 hours. After that, the websocket connection will be closed by the server.
- Network issue. It could be your local network issue or the server's network issue. In either case, your websocket connection will be closed
In order to keep a subscription running 24 * 7, you need to re-subscribe when the connection is closed.
subscription.on_ws_closed = lambda { |event|
# make sure that there is no network issue and re-subscribe
subscription.subscribe()
}
How to test
bundle install
Rename .env.sample
to .env
.
Edit .env
file to specify credentials.
RINGCENTRAL_RECEIVER
is a phone number to receive SMS, Fax..etc.
Run bundle exec rspec
