Tokenex

A convenient Ruby wrapper for the TokenEx API.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tokenex'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tokenex

The examples below require you first instantiate a new TokenEx object

tokenex = Tokenex::Environment.new(api_base_url, token_ex_id, api_key)

If you need to use proxy, pass in a proxy url as the 4th argument. Proxy url example: http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@10.0.0.1:8888

tokenex = Tokenex::Environment.new(api_base_url, token_ex_id, api_key, proxy_url)

token = tokenex.token_from_ccnum(4242424242424242)

token = tokenex.tokenize("This is random data containing 3 numbers less than 10")

token = tokenex.token_from_ccnum(4242424242424242)
data = tokenex.detokenize(token)

token = tokenex.token_from_ccnum(4242424242424242)
token_is_valid = tokenex.validate_token(token)

token = tokenex.token_from_ccnum(4242424242424242)
tokenex.delete_token(token)

Each action call will return a reference ID that can be used to lookup a call in the TokenEx dashboard. Unsuccessful calls will also return an error describing the problem. Each can be accessed via:

tokenex.error
tokenex.reference_number

Before proceeding, make sure the following environment variables are set (they are required for running the specs):

TOKENEX_API_BASE_URL=https://test-api.tokenex.com/TokenServices.svc/REST/
TOKENEX_ID=<YOUR TOKENEX_ID>
TOKENEX_API_KEY=<YOUR TOKENEX_API_KEY>

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
