## 🚨 Repository Deprecated – No Longer Maintained
> **Important:** This SDK is no longer maintained.
This repository (`Messages Ruby SDK`) has not been actively maintained for several years and is now officially **deprecated**. No further updates, bug fixes, or support will be provided.
If you're building applications that integrate with the Sinch MessageMedia Messaging API, we recommend using direct REST API calls instead. You can find the complete and up-to-date API documentation here:
👉 [MessageMedia Messaging REST API Docs](https://messagemedia.github.io/documentation/#tag/Messages)

# MessageMedia Messages Ruby SDK
[](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](https://rubygems.org/gems/messagemedia_messages_sdk)
The MessageMedia Messages API provides a number of endpoints for building powerful two-way messaging applications.

## :closed_lock_with_key: Authentication
Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.
Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. For Basic Auth, your API key will be basicAuthUserName and API secret will be basicAuthPassword. For HMAC, your API key will be hmacAuthUserName and API secret will be hmacAuthPassword. This is demonstrated in the [Send an SMS example](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/blob/master/README.md#send-an-sms) below.
## :interrobang: Errors
Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.
#### HTTP Status Codes
| Code | Title | Description |
|-----------|-------------|-------------|
| 400 | Invalid Request | The request was invalid |
| 401 | Unauthorized | Your API credentials are invalid |
| 403 | Disabled feature | Feature not enabled |
| 404 | Not Found | The resource does not exist |
| 50X | Internal Server Error | An error occurred with our API |

## :clapper: Get Started
It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the [MessageMedia Developers Portal](https://developers.messagemedia.com) into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.
### Send an SMS
Destination (`destinationNumber`) and source number (`sourceNumber`) should be in the [E.164](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) format. For example, `+61491570156` NOT `0491570156`. The code snippet below comprises of only the bare minimum parameters required to send a message. You can view the full list of parameters over [here](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/wiki/Message-Body-Parameters). Alternatively, you can refer [this](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/blob/master/examples/sendMessage.rb) code snippet with all the parameters in use.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
messages_controller = client.messages
body = SendMessagesRequest.new
body.messages = []
body.messages[0] = Message.new
body.messages[0].content = 'My first message'
body.messages[0].destination_number = '+61491570156'
begin
result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
pp result
rescue SendMessages400ResponseException => ex
puts "Caught SendMessages400ResponseException: #{ex.message}"
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
## Send an MMS
Destination (`destinationNumber`) and source number (`sourceNumber`) should be in the [E.164](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) format. For example, `+61491570156` NOT `0491570156`. The code snippet below comprises of only the bare minimum parameters required to send a message. You can view the full list of parameters over [here](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/wiki/Message-Body-Parameters). Alternatively, you can refer [this](https://github.com/messagemedia/messages-ruby-sdk/blob/master/examples/sendMessage.rb) code snippet with all the parameters in use.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
messages_controller = client.messages
body = SendMessagesRequest.new
body.messages = []
body.messages[0] = Message.new
body.messages[0].content = 'My second message'
body.messages[0].destination_number = '+61491570158'
body.messages[0].format = FormatEnum::MMS
body.messages[0].media = ['https://images.pexels.com/photos/1018350/pexels-photo-1018350.jpeg?cs=srgb&dl=architecture-buildings-city-1018350.jpg']
body.messages[0].subject = 'This is an MMS message'
begin
result = messages_controller.send_messages(body)
pp result
rescue SendMessages400ResponseException => ex
puts "Caught SendMessages400ResponseException: #{ex.message}"
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
### Get Status of a Message
You can get a messsage ID from a sent message by looking at the `message_id` from the response of the above example.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
messages_controller = client.messages
message_id = '877c19ef-fa2e-4cec-827a-e1df9b5509f7'
begin
result = messages_controller.get_message_status(message_id)
pp result
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
### Get replies to a message
You can check for replies that are sent to your messages
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
replies_controller = client.replies
begin
result = replies_controller.check_replies()
pp replies
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
### Check Delivery Reports
This endpoint allows you to check for delivery reports to inbound and outbound messages.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
begin
result = delivery_reports_controller.check_delivery_reports()
pp result
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
### Confirm Delivery Reports
This endpoint allows you to mark delivery reports as confirmed so they're no longer returned by the Check Delivery Reports function.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
delivery_reports_controller = client.delivery_reports
body = ConfirmDeliveryReportsAsReceivedRequest.new
body.delivery_report_ids = ['011dcead-6988-4ad6-a1c7-6b6c68ea628d', '3487b3fa-6586-4979-a233-2d1b095c7718', 'ba28e94b-c83d-4759-98e7-ff9c7edb87a1']
begin
result = delivery_reports_controller.confirm_delivery_reports_as_received(body)
pp result
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
### Check credits remaining (Prepaid accounts only)
This endpoint allows you to check for credits remaining on your prepaid account.
```ruby
require 'message_media_messages'
require 'pp'
include MessageMediaMessages
auth_user_name = 'API_KEY'
auth_password = 'API_SECRET'
use_hmac = false
client = MessageMediaMessages::MessageMediaMessagesClient.new(
auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
auth_password: auth_password,
use_hmac_authentication: use_hmac
)
messages_controller = client.messages
begin
result = messages_controller.check_credits_remaining()
pp result
rescue APIException => ex
puts "Caught APIException: #{ex.message}"
end
```
