Ruby example client for SMS Global REST API

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.3 or above

Preparation & Compile

• Install Ruby if you haven't :) http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/
• Make sure your user has the right to execute the file SMSGlobalAPIConsumer.rb if you intend to run it as a script

/> chmod u+x SMSGlobalAPIConsumer.rb

Execution

The consumer file will be your 'main' method, this file can be run as a ruby script and accepts 2 arguments and 1 option

/> ./SMSGlobalAPIConsumer.rb [-v] [-s] <Key> <Secret>
/> ./SMSGlobalAPIConsumer.rb -h

Usage:

• <APIKey> : String (required) [1]
• <Secret> : String (required) [1]
• [-v] : turn on or off debugging (optional)
• [-s] : turn on or off SSL mode (optional) [2]

Notes:

• [1] Find your <APIKey> and <Secret> from within MXT at http://mxt.smsglobal.com/api-key.
• [2] We're disabling SSL Certificate Verification for ease of development and less braincells burned, please consider turn in it back on by commenting out the following line

   # SMSGlobalAPIWrapper.rb
   http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE # Dangerous, should not use for PRODUCTION

The result would look like this

    ./SMSGlobalAPIConsumer.rb 2237275ba354517bdbd2477b7266e3c1 ccbb84e115a66eb2fc83834b8c0f31a3 -v
