[Click here to read the full documentation.][documentation] ## Installation To install using [Bundler][bundler] grab the latest stable version: ```ruby gem 'twilio-ruby', '~> 3.12' ``` To manually install `twilio-ruby` via [Rubygems][rubygems] simply gem install: ```bash gem install twilio-ruby ``` To build and install the development branch yourself from the latest source: ```bash git clone git@github.com:twilio/twilio-ruby.git cd twilio-ruby make install ``` ## Getting Started With REST ### Setup Work ``` ruby require 'rubygems' # not necessary with ruby 1.9 but included for completeness require 'twilio-ruby' # put your own credentials here account_sid = 'ACxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' auth_token = 'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy' # set up a client to talk to the Twilio REST API @client = Twilio::REST::Client.new account_sid, auth_token # alternatively, you can preconfigure the client like so Twilio.configure do |config| config.account_sid = account_sid config.auth_token = auth_token end # and then you can create a new client without parameters @client = Twilio::REST::Client.new ``` ### Send an SMS ``` ruby @client.messages.create( from: '+14159341234', to: '+16105557069', body: 'Hey there!' ) ``` ### Send an MMS ``` ruby @client.messages.create( from: '+14159341234', to: '+16105557069', body: 'Hey there!', media_url: 'http://example.com/smileyface.jpg' ) ``` ### Do Some Stuff With Calls ``` ruby # make a new outgoing call @call = @client.calls.create( from: '+14159341234', to: '+18004567890', url: 'http://example.com/call-handler' ) # hangup a ringing call, but don't touch it if it's connected @call.cancel # if you have the call sid, you can fetch a call object via: @call = @client.calls.get('CA386025c9bf5d6052a1d1ea42b4d16662') # redirect an in-progress call @call.redirect_to('http://example.com/call-redirect') # hangup a call, no matter whether it is ringing or connected @call.hangup ``` ### List Calls after a certain time ``` ruby # list calls made or received on or after May 13, 2013 @client.calls.list("start_time>" => "2013-05-13") # Notice we omit the "=" in the "start_time>=" parameter because it is automatically added ``` ### Buy a Phone Number ``` ruby # print some available numbers @numbers = @client.available_phone_numbers.get('US').local.list( contains: 'AWESOME' ) @numbers.each {|num| puts num.phone_number} # buy the first one @number = @numbers[0].phone_number @client.incoming_phone_numbers.create(phone_number: @number) ``` ## Getting Started With Client Capability Tokens If you just need to generate a Capability Token for use with Twilio Client, you can do this: ``` ruby require 'rubygems' # not necessary with ruby 1.9 but included for completeness require 'twilio-ruby' # put your own account credentials here: account_sid = 'AC043dcf9844e13758bc3a36a84c29761' auth_token = '62ea81de3a5b413254eb263595357c69' # set up capability = Twilio::Util::Capability.new account_sid, auth_token # allow outgoing calls to an application capability.allow_client_outgoing 'AP89a0180a1a4ddf1da954efca349b7a20' # allow incoming calls to 'andrew' capability.allow_client_incoming 'andrew' # generate the token string @token = capability.generate ``` There is a slightly more detailed document in the [Capability][capability] section of the wiki. ## Getting Started With TwiML TwiML support is based on the [Builder][builder] library. You can construct a TwiML response like this: ``` ruby require 'rubygems' # not necessary with ruby 1.9 but included for completeness require 'twilio-ruby' # build up a response response = Twilio::TwiML::Response.new do |r| r.Say 'hello there', voice: 'alice' r.Dial callerId: '+14159992222' do |d| d.Client 'jenny' end end # print the result puts response.text ``` This will print the following (except for the whitespace): ``` xml hello there jenny ``` ## Supported Ruby Versions This library supports and is [tested against][travis] the following Ruby implementations: - Ruby 2.1.0 - Ruby 2.0.0 - Ruby 1.9.3 - [JRuby][jruby] - [Rubinius][rubinius] ## More Information There are more detailed examples in the included [examples][examples] directory.
