# TransferWise Welcome to transfer_wise ruby gem! The transfer_wise Ruby gem provide a small SDK for convenient access to the TransferWise API from applications written in the Ruby language. It provides a pre-defined set of classes for API resources that initialize themselves dynamically from API responses which allows the bindings to tolerate a number of different versions of the API. ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'transfer_wise' ``` And then execute: $ bundle install Or install it yourself as: $ gem install transfer_wise ## Usage The library needs to be configured with environment mode "test" or "live" ```ruby For live mode TransferWise.mode = "live" For test mode TransferWise.mode = "test" ``` # Development ## Authentication TransferWise uses OAuth 2 for API authentication and authorization. Calls done in behalf of the user require the access token, other calls require Basic Auth. Please keep in mind that tokens are unique to user and should be stored securely. ```ruby tw = TransferWise::OAuth.new(client_id, client_secret) ``` ```ruby redirect_url = "www.example.com/callback" # Url where you want user to redirect back after authentication from transferwise url = tw.authorize_url(redirect_url) ``` This will give you the url where you have to redirect the user to authorize and after authorization you will get redirected to redirect_url with authentication_code. ```ruby code = "aqw12q" # some authentication_code from response of authentication tw.get_access_token(code, redirect_url) =begin Response: { "token_type" => "bearer", "scope" => "transfers", :access_token => "1bceb8d8-4115-4daa-8370-d9bc8de0c732", :refresh_token => "6ff3451a-e713-416a-b735-20d8020f6ce2", :expires_at => 1487908739 } =end ``` Store this access token and periodically refresh it before it expires ```ruby tw.refresh_token(access_token, opts = {refresh_token: refresh_token, expires_at: expires_at}) =begin Response: { "token_type" => "bearer", "scope" => "transfers", :access_token => "59e18a25-c84e-4f06-aee4-416c9211a8c8", :refresh_token => "6ff3451a-e713-416a-b735-20d8020f6ce2", :expires_at => 1487873072 } =end ``` # Anatomy of a TransferWise Transfer To create the transfers, we need to get profile, quote and target account first. ## Profile Create a profile as individual or business. ```ruby profile_request = { type: "personal", # or business details: { firstName: "First name", # Sender FirstName lastName: "Last Name", # Sender LastName dateOfBirth: "1980-07-20", # sender DOB phoneNumber: "+918147001602" # Sender number in international format } } profile = TransferWise::Profile.create(profile_request, {access_token: access_token}) ``` ## Quote Create a quote ```ruby quote_request = { profile: profile.id, # got from previous profile response source: "USD", # source currency target: "INR", # target currency sourceAmount: "100", # source amount is amount which sender is going to send. TransferWise will deduct their fees and receipient will receive less money. rateType: "FIXED" } quote = TransferWise::Quote.create(quote_request, {access_token: access_token}) ``` ## Account Next step is to create the account where you want to transfer the money. If you already have the account you can use that account id and skip this account creation part. ```ruby account_request = { "profile" => profile.id, "accountHolderName" => "Account Holder Name", "currency" => "INR", # target currency name "country" => "IN", # target country code "type" => "", # get from account requirements "details" => { "legalType" => "PRIVATE", "accountNumber" => "", # target account number "ifscCode" => "", # ifsc code or any other field. Get field name finformation from account requirements api. This could be different for other country except india. "address" => { # get address details also from account requirement based on country. "city" => "City name", # city name "country" => "IN", # country code "firstLine" => "", # address first line "postCode" => "" # post code } } } account = TransferWise::Account.create(account_request, {access_token: access_token}) ``` ## Transfer Create a transfer ```ruby transfer_request = { "targetAccount" => account.id, "quote" => quote.id, "details" => { "reference" => "Any Comment" # get the field detail, from transfer requirements api before creating the transfer object. } } transfer = TransferWise::Transfer.create(transfer_request, {access_token: access_token}) ``` Transfer object is created in transfer wise website. You can go there and make payments to complete the transfer.
