Introduction

The Mangopay Ruby SDK makes working with the Mangopay API easier in a Ruby environment. This SDK is open-source and available on GitHub.

Mangopay Ruby SDK

Prerequisites

To run the Mangopay Ruby SDK, you’ll need:

• A ClientId and an API key – if you don’t have these, contact Sales to get access to the Mangopay Dashboard
• Ruby 1.9.2 (or higher) installed

Note - Mangopay SDK compatibility

The Ruby SDK is only compatible with the v2.01 version of the Mangopay API.

Getting started

1. Install the SDK

gem install mangopay

2. Initialize and configure the SDK

require 'mangopay'

MangoPay.configure do |c|
  c.preproduction = true
  c.client_id = 'your-mangopay-client-id'
  c.client_apiKey = 'your-mangopay-api-key'
  c.http_timeout = 30000
  c.Http_open_timeout = 60000
  c.Log_file = File.join('mypath', 'mangopay.log')
end

The configuration object of the SDK supports all the following properties:

Key	Type	Default value	Description
preproduction	boolean	false	Defines whether the SDK calls the Production or Sandbox endpoints.
client_id	string	None	Your Mangopay ClientId – can be found in the Dashboard.
client_apiKey	string	None	Your Mangopay API key – can be found in the Dashboard.
http_timeout	int milliseconds	30	Specifies the amount of time until request failure because a chunk of data cannot be read.
http_open_timeout	int milliseconds	30	Specifies the amount of time until request failure because a connection cannot be made.
log_file	string	None	Enables logging. Results and responses are filtered so that confidential data is not saved in the log.
uk_header_flag	boolean	false	Platforms that have contracted with Mangopay’s UK entity (MANGOPAY U.K. LIMITED) must include the following header in all requests. If you’re using an SDK, you need to set it to true.

SDK usage

All endpoints are documented with the related Ruby SDK method throughout the Mangopay documentation. You should adjust the code examples provided for your usage.

Multi configurations

The Ruby SDK offers the option to create multiple configuration objects tailored to your specific needs:

config = MangoPay::Configuration.new
config.client_id = 'your-client-id'
config.client_apiKey = 'your-api-key'
config.preproduction = true

Once configured, you can the use the add_config method to add the new configuration:

MangoPay.add_config('config1', config)

When you need to use a specific configuration, you can retrieve the needed configuration by using the get_config and apply_configuration methods:

MangoPay.get_config('config1').apply_configuration

Pagination

For endpoints that support pagination, you can use an object containing the page and per_page keys.

As a result, the answer will be paginated, and the total number of items and the total number of pages will be provided.

Pagination example

require 'mangopay'
# configuration
MangoPay.configure do |client|
    client.preproduction = true
    client.client_id = 'your-client-id'
    client.client_apiKey = 'your-api-key'
end

def getAllUsers(parameters)
    begin
        response = MangoPay::User.fetch(parameters)
        puts response
        puts parameters
        return response
    rescue MangoPay::ResponseError => error
        puts "Error details: #{error.details}"
    end
end

pagination = {'page' => 1, 'per_page' => 8}
getAllUsers(pagination)

Filtering

For endpoints that support filtering, you can use an object containing the filtering parameters.

Usage example

require 'mangopay'

# configuration
MangoPay.configure do |client|
    client.preproduction = true
    client.client_id = 'your-client-id'
    client.client_apiKey = 'your-api-key'
end

def indexEvents(filters)
    begin
        response = MangoPay::Event.fetch(filters)
        puts response
        return response
    rescue MangoPay::ResponseError => error
        puts "Error details: #{error.details}"
    end
end

myFilters = { 'BeforeDate': 1688020455, 'AfterDate': 1686378855 }
indexEvents(myFilters)

Error handling

As an alternative to logging, you can use the following example to surface errors returned by the Ruby SDK within your app.

Error handling example

begin
  MangoPay::NaturalUser.create({})
rescue MangoPay::ResponseError => ex

  ex # => #<MangoPay::ResponseError: One or several required parameters are missing or incorrect. [...] FirstName: The FirstName field is required. LastName: The LastName field is required. Nationality: The Nationality field is required.>

  ex.details # => {
             #   "Message"=>"One or several required parameters are missing or incorrect. [...]",
             #   "Type"=>"param_error",
             #   "Id"=>"5c080105-4da3-467d-820d-0906164e55fe",
             #   "Date"=>1409048671.0,
             #   "errors"=>{
             #     "FirstName"=>"The FirstName field is required.",
             #     "LastName"=>"The LastName field is required.", ...},
             #   "Code"=>"400",
             #   "Url"=>"/v2/.../users/natural"
             # }
end

Rate limiting

Along with each request, the rate limiting headers are automatically updated in the MangoPay object:

• X-RateLimit-Limit
• X-RateLimit-Remaining
• X-RateLimit-Reset

Rate limiting example

MangoPay.ratelimit
  {
    :limit=>["74", "74", "75", "908"],
    :remaining=>["2226", "4426", "8725", "104692"],
    :reset=>["1495615620", "1495616520", "1495618320", "1495701060"]
  }
