Dwolla SDK for Ruby

This repository contains the source code for Dwolla's Ruby-based SDK, which allows developers to interact with Dwolla's server-side API via a Ruby API, with automatic OAuth token management included. Any action that can be performed via an HTTP request can be made using this SDK when executed within a server-side environment.

To begin using this SDK, you will first need to download it to your machine. We use RubyGems to distribute this package.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dwolla_v2', '~> 3.1'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dwolla_v2

Before any API requests can be made, you must first determine which environment you will be using, as well as fetch the application key and secret. To fetch your application key and secret, please visit one of the following links:

• Production: https://dashboard.dwolla.com/applications
• Sandbox: https://dashboard-sandbox.dwolla.com/applications

Finally, you can create an instance of Client with key and secret replaced with the application key and secret that you fetched from one of the aforementioned links, respectively.

# config/initializers/dwolla.rb
$dwolla = DwollaV2::Client.new(
  key: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_KEY"],
  secret: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_SECRET"],
  environment: :sandbox # defaults to :production
)

Dwolla for Ruby uses Faraday to make HTTP requests. You can configure your own Faraday middleware and adapter when configuring your client. Remember to always include an adapter last, even if you want to use the default adapter.

# config/initializers/dwolla.rb
$dwolla = DwollaV2::Client.new(
  key: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_KEY"],
  secret: ENV["DWOLLA_APP_SECRET"]
) do |config|

  config.faraday do |faraday|
    faraday.response :logger
    faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
  end
end

Once you've created a Client, currently, you can make low-level HTTP requests.

To make low-level HTTP requests, you can use the get(), post(), and delete() methods.

# GET api.dwolla.com/resource?foo=bar
$dwolla.get "resource", foo: "bar"

# POST api.dwolla.com/resource {"foo":"bar"}
$dwolla.post "resource", foo: "bar"

# POST api.dwolla.com/resource multipart/form-data foo=...
$dwolla.post "resource", foo: Faraday::UploadIO.new("/path/to/bar.png", "image/png")

# DELETE api.dwolla.com/resource
$dwolla.delete "resource"

To set additional headers on a request, you can pass a Hash of headers as the 3rd argument.

For example:

$dwolla.post "customers", { firstName: "John", lastName: "Doe", email: "jd@doe.com" },
                          { 'Idempotency-Key': 'a52fcf63-0730-41c3-96e8-7147b5d1fb01' }

The following snippets demonstrate successful and errored responses from the Dwolla API.

An errored response is returned when Dwolla's servers respond with a status code that is greater than or equal to 400, whereas a successful response is when Dwolla's servers respond with a 200-level status code.

Successful requests return a DwollaV2::Response.

res = $dwolla.get "/"
# => #<DwollaV2::Response response_status=200 response_headers={"server"=>"cloudflare-nginx", "date"=>"Mon, 28 Mar 2016 15:30:23 GMT", "content-type"=>"application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json; charset=UTF-8", "content-length"=>"150", "connection"=>"close", "set-cookie"=>"__cfduid=d9dcd0f586c166d36cbd45b992bdaa11b1459179023; expires=Tue, 28-Mar-17 15:30:23 GMT; path=/; domain=.dwolla.com; HttpOnly", "x-request-id"=>"69a4e612-5dae-4c52-a6a0-2f921e34a88a", "cf-ray"=>"28ac1f81875941e3-MSP"} {"_links"=>{"events"=>{"href"=>"https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/events"}, "webhook-subscriptions"=>{"href"=>"https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/webhook-subscriptions"}}}>

res._links.events.href
# => "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/events"

If the server returns an error, a DwollaV2::Error (or one of its subclasses) will be raised. DwollaV2::Errors are similar to DwollaV2::Responses.

begin
  $dwolla.get "/not-found"
rescue DwollaV2::NotFoundError => e
  e
  # => #<DwollaV2::NotFoundError response_status=404 response_headers={"server"=>"cloudflare-nginx", "date"=>"Mon, 28 Mar 2016 15:35:32 GMT", "content-type"=>"application/vnd.dwolla.v1.hal+json; profile=\"http://nocarrier.co.uk/profiles/vnd.error/\"; charset=UTF-8", "content-length"=>"69", "connection"=>"close", "set-cookie"=>"__cfduid=da1478bfdf3e56275cd8a6a741866ccce1459179332; expires=Tue, 28-Mar-17 15:35:32 GMT; path=/; domain=.dwolla.com; HttpOnly", "access-control-allow-origin"=>"*", "x-request-id"=>"667fca74-b53d-43db-bddd-50426a011881", "cf-ray"=>"28ac270abca64207-MSP"} {"code"=>"NotFound", "message"=>"The requested resource was not found."}>
