## Installation



Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:



```sh

$ bundle add increase -v 0.3.2

```



If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by

executing:



```sh

$ gem install increase -v 0.3.2

```



## Usage



```ruby

require 'increase'



# Grab your API key from https://dashboard.increase.com/developers/api_keys

Increase.api_key = 'my_api_key'

Increase.base_url = 'https://api.increase.com'



# List transactions

Increase::Transactions.list



# Retrieve a transaction

Increase::Transactions.retrieve('transaction_1234abcd')



# Create an ACH Transfer

Increase::AchTransfers.create(

  account_id: 'account_1234abcd',

  amount: 100_00, # 10,000 cents ($100 dollars)

  routing_number: '123456789',

  account_number: '9876543210',

  statement_descriptor: 'broke the bank for some retail therapy'

)

```



### Per-request Configuration



By default, the client will use the global API key and configurations. However,

you can define a custom client to be used for per-request configuration.



For example, you may want access to production and sandbox data at the same

time.



```ruby

sandbox = Increase::Client.new(

  api_key: 'playing_it_safe',

  base_url: 'https://sandbox.increase.com'

)



# This request will use the `sandbox` client and its configurations

Increase::Transactions.with_config(sandbox).list

# => [{some sandbox transactions here}, {transaction}, {transaction}, ...]



# This request will still use the global configurations (using production key)

Increase::Transactions.list

# => [{some production transactions here}, {transaction}, {transaction}, ...]

```



Alternatively, directly passing as hash to `with_config` works too!



```ruby

Increase::Transactions.with_config(api_key: 'time_is_money', base_url: :sandbox).list

# => [{some sandbox transactions here}, {transaction}, {transaction}, ...]

```



See the [Configuration](#configuration) section for more information on the

available configurations.



### Pagination



When listing resources (e.g. transactions), **Increase** limits the number of

results per page to 100. Luckily, the client will automatically paginate through

all the results for you!



```ruby

Increase::Transactions.list(limit: :all) do |transactions|

  # This block will be called once for each page of results

  puts "I got #{transactions.count} transactions!"

end



# Or, if you'd like a gargantuan array of all the transactions

Increase::Transactions.list(limit: :all)



# You can also use the `next_cursor` to manually paginate through the results

txns = Increase::Transactions.list(

  limit: 2_000,

  'created_at.after': '2022-01-15T06:34:23Z'

)

# => [{transaction}, {transaction}, {transaction}, ...]

txns.next_cursor

# => "eyJwb2NpdGlvbiI6eyJvZmlzZXQiOjEwMH0sIm3pbHRlclI6e319"

```



Watch out for the rate limit!



### Error Handling



Whenever you make an oopsie, the client will raise an error! Errors originating

from the API will be a subclass of `Increase::ApiError`.



```ruby



begin

  Increase::Transactions.retrieve('i_dont_exist')

rescue Increase::ApiError => e

  puts e.message # "[404: object_not_found_error] Could not find the ..."

  puts e.title # "Could not find the specified object."

  puts e.detail # "No resource of type transaction was found with ID ..."

  puts e.status # 404



  puts e.response # This contains the full response, including headers!

  # => #



  puts e.class # Increase::ObjectNotFoundError (subclass of Increase::ApiError)

end

```



To disable this behavior, set `Increase.raise_api_errors = false`. Errors will

then be returned as a normal response.



```ruby

Increase.raise_api_errors = false # Default: true



Increase::Transactions.retrieve('i_dont_exist')

# => {"status"=>404, "type"=>"object_not_found_error", ... }

```



### Configuration



| Name                 | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     | Default                      |

|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------|

| **api_key**          | Your Increase API Key. Grab it from https://dashboard.increase.com/developers/api_keys                                                                                                                                                                          | `nil`                        |

| **base_url**         | The base URL for Increase's API. You can use `:production` (https://api.increase.com), `:sandbox` (https://sandbox.increase.com), or set an actual URL                                                                                                          | `"https://api.increase.com"` |

| **raise_api_errors** | Whether to raise an error when the API returns a non-2XX status. Learn more about Increase's errors [here](https://increase.com/documentation/api#errors). See error classes [here](https://github.com/garyhtou/increase-ruby/blob/main/lib/increase/errors.rb) | `true`                       |



There are multiple syntaxes for configuring the client. Choose your favorite!



```ruby

# Set the configurations directly

Increase.api_key = 'terabytes_of_cash' # Default: nil (you'll need one tho!)

Increase.base_url = :production # Default: :production

Increase.raise_api_errors = true # Default: true



# Or, you can pass in a hash

Increase.configure(api_key: 'just_my_two_cents')



# Or, you can use a block!

Increase.configure do |config|

  config.api_key = 'digital_dough'

  config.base_url = :sandbox # Default: :production

  config.raise_api_errors = false # Default: true

end

```



If you are using Rails, the recommended way is to set your configurations as a

block in an initializer.



```ruby

# config/initializers/increase.rb



Increase.configure do |config|

  # Your Increase API Key!

  # Grab it from https://dashboard.increase.com/developers/api_keys

  config.api_key = Rails.application.credentials.dig(:increase, :api_key)



  # The base URL for Increase's API.

  # You can use

  # - :production (https://api.increase.com)

  # - :sandbox (https://sandbox.increase.com)

  # - or set an actual URL

  config.base_url = Rails.env.production? ? :production : :sandbox



  # Whether to raise an error when the API returns a non-2XX status.

  # If disabled (false), the client will return the error response as a normal,

  # instead of raising an error.

  # 

  # Learn more about...

  # - Increase's errors: https://increase.com/documentation/api#errors

  # - Error classes: https://github.com/garyhtou/increase-ruby/blob/main/lib/increase/errors.rb

  config.raise_api_errors = true # Default: true

end

```



### File Uploads



It's as simple as passing in a file path!



```ruby

Increase::Files.create(

  purpose: 'identity_document',

  file: '/path/to/file.jpg'

) 

```



Alternatively, you can pass in a `File` object.



```ruby

file = File.open('/path/to/file.jpg')



Increase::Files.create(

  purpose: 'identity_document',

  file: file

) 

```



Or, get even fancier and use `Increase::FileUpload` to specify the content type

and filename.



```ruby

file = Increase::FileUpload.new(

  '/path/to/file.jpg',

  content_type: 'image/jpeg',

  filename: 'my_file.jpg'

)



Increase::Files.create(

  purpose: 'identity_document',

  file: file

) 

```



If no content type or filename is provided, the client will try to guess it.



### Webhooks



**Increase**'s webhooks include a `Increase-Webhook-Signature` header for

securing your webhook endpoint. Although not required, it's strongly recommended

that you verify the signature to ensure the request is coming from **Increase**.



Here is an example for Rails.



```ruby



class IncreaseController < ApplicationController

  protect_from_forgery except: :webhook # Ignore CSRF checks



  def webhook

    payload = request.body.read

    sig_header = request.headers['Increase-Webhook-Signature']

    secret = Rails.application.credentials.dig(:increase, :webhook_secret)



    Increase::Webhook::Signature.verify(

      payload: payload,

      signature_header: sig_header,

      secret: secret

    )



    # It's a valid webhook! Do something with it...



    render json: {success: true}



  rescue Increase::WebhookSignatureVerificationError => e

    render json: {error: 'Webhook signature verification failed'}, status: :bad_request

  end

end

```



### Idempotency



**Increase**

supports [idempotent requests](https://increase.com/documentation/api#idempotency)

to allow for safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same

operation twice.



```ruby

card = Increase::Cards.create(

  {

    # Card parameters

    account_id: 'account_1234abcd',

    description: 'My Chipotle card'

  },

  {

    # Request headers

    'Idempotency-Key': 'use a V4 UUID here'

  }

)

# => {"id"=>"card_1234abcd", "type"=>"card", ... }



card.idempotent_replayed

# => nil



# Repeat the exact same request

card = Increase::Cards.create(...)

# => {"id"=>"card_1234abcd", "type"=>"card", ... }



card.idempotent_replayed

# => "true"

```



Reusing the key in subsequent requests will return the same response code and

body as the original request along with an additional HTTP

header (`Idempotent-Replayed: true`). This applies to both success and error

responses. In situations where your request results in a validation error,

you'll need to update your request and retry with a new idempotency key.
