The library is compliant with [CCU API V3](https://developer.akamai.com/api/purge/ccu/resources.html), based on the *Fast Purge Utility*. ## Motivation The gem has two main responsibilities: 1. sign the request with proper Authorization headers 2. provide a wrapper around the CCU V3 APIs ### akamai-edgerid There's an official gem by Akamai to sign HTTP headers called [akamai-edgegrid](https://github.com/akamai/AkamaiOPEN-edgegrid-ruby). I've opted to go with my own implementation for the following reasons: * the official gem is not written in idiomatic ruby * Net::HTTP core class is extended, ignoring composition/decoration * single responsibility principle is broken * i prefer not relying on external dependencies when possible ## Installation Add this line to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem "akamai_ccu" ``` And then execute: ```shell bundle ``` Or install it yourself as: ```shell gem install akamai_ccu ``` ### Configuration This gem requires you have a valid Akamai Luna Control Center account, enabled to add APIs clients. Upon APIs client creation, you'll get the `client token` to be used to generate new APIs credentials data: these consist of a secret key, two token (client and access) and a dedicated host for API authorization. Check Akamai's [official documentation](https://developer.akamai.com/introduction/Conf_Client.html) for more details. Suffice to say you have two main options to import credentials data: #### edgerc You can generate (using a script or by hand) an INI file named `.edgerc`: ``` [default] client_secret = xxx= host = akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/ access_token = akab-access-token-xxx-xxx client_token = akab-client-token-xxx-xxx max-body = 131072 ``` #### txt You can download a plain text file upon credentials data creation: ``` client_secret = xxx= host = akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/ access_token = akab-access-token-xxx-xxx client_token = akab-client-token-xxx-xxx ``` ## Usage ### As library You can require the gem to use it as a library inside your scripts: #### Secret Once you've got APIs credentials, you can instantiate the secret object aimed to generate the authorization header: ```ruby require "akamai_ccu" # by .edgerc secret = AkamaiCCU::Secret.by_edgerc(".edgerc") # by txt file secret = AkamaiCCU::Secret.by_txt("tokens.txt") # by using initializer secret = AkamaiCCU::Secret.new(client_secret: "xxx=", host: "akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/", access_token: "akab-access-token-xxx-xxx", client_token: "akab-client-token-xxx-xxx", max_body: 131072) ``` The next step is setting the `Wrapper` class with the secret object, the secret and Net::HTTP client instances are shared between calls: ```ruby AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.setup(secret) ``` #### Edge network Purging actions runs on the `staging` network by default. Switch to production by just appending a shebang `!` on the method name. #### Invalidating The CCU V3 APIs allow for invalidating contents by URLs or content provider (CP) codes: currently only the former relies on the Fast Purge Utility. ```ruby # invalidating resources on staging by URLs AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.invalidate_by_url(%w[https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/index.html]) # invalidating resources on production (mind the "!") by CP code AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.invalidate_by_cpcode!([12345, 98765]) ``` #### Deleting You can delete contents by URLs or CP codes as well, just be aware of what you're doing: ```ruby # deleting resources on staging by CP codes AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.delete_by_cpcode([12345, 98765]) # deleting resources on production (mind the "!") by URLs AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.delete_by_url!(%w[https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.js]) ``` #### Response The Net::HTTP response is wrapped by an utility struct: ```ruby res = AkamaiCCU::Wrapper.invalidate_by_cpcode([12345, 98765]) puts res # status=201; detail=Request accepted; purge_id=e535071c-26b2-11e7-94d7-276f2f54d938; support_id=17PY1492793544958045-219026624; copletion_at=20170620T11:19:16+0000 ``` ### CLI You can use the CLI by: #### Help Calling the help for the specific action: ```shell ccu_invalidate -h Usage: invalidate --edgerc=./.edgerc --production --cp="12345, 98765" -e, --edgerc=EDGERC Load secret by .edgerc file -t, --txt=TXT Load secret by TXT file -c, --cp=CP Specify contents by provider (CP) codes -u, --url=URL Specify contents by URLs -b, --bulk=BULK Specify bulk contents in a file --headers=HEADERS Specify HTTP headers to sign -p, --production Purge on production network -h, --help Prints this help ``` #### ccu_invalidate Do request for contents invalidation by: ```shell ccu_invalidate --edgerc=~/.edgerc \ --url=https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.css,https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.js \ --production ``` #### ccu_delete Do request for contents deletion by: ```shell ccu_delete --txt=~/tokens.txt \ --cp=12345,98765 \ --headers=Accept,Content-Length ``` #### Bulk operation In case you have multiple contents to work with, it could be impractical to write several entries on the CLI. Just specify them on a separate file and use the bulk option: `urls.txt` file with URL entries specified on a new line: ```txt https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.css https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.js https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/static/index.html ``` Specify the bulk option by using the file path: ```shell ccu_invalidate --edgerc=~/.edgerc --bulk=urls.txt ``` #### Redirecting output In case you're calling the CLI from another program (like your Jenkins script), just redirect the output to your log file: ```shell ccu_invalidate --edgerc=~/.edgerc --cp=12345,98765 > mylog.log ``` #### Overwriting options The CLI allows different options for the same scope on secret and contents specification. If multiple options for the same scope are provided, the program runs by assigning specific precedence rules: ##### Secret The `edgerc` option has always precedence over the `txt` one: This command will load secret from ~/.edgerc: ```shell ccu_invalidate --txt=~/tokens.txt \ --edgerc=~/.edgerc \ --cp=12345,98765 ``` ##### Contents The `bulk` option has always precedence over the `cp` one, that has precedence over `url`: This command will invalidate by URLs: ```shell ccu_invalidate --txt=~/tokens.txt \ --cp=12345,98765 --bulk=urls.txt ``` This command will delete by CP codes: ```shell ccu_delete --txt=~/tokens.txt \ --cp=12345,98765 --url=https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.css,https://akaa-baseurl-xxx-xxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/main.js ``` ### Possible Issues #### Invalid timestamp You could get a `bad request` response like this: ```shell status=400; title=Bad request; detail=Invalid timestamp; request_id=2ce206fd; method=POST; requested_at=2017-06-21T12:33:10Z ``` This happens since Akamai APIs only tolerate a clock skew of at most 30 seconds to defend against certain network attacks (described [here](https://community.akamai.com/docs/DOC-1336)). In order to fix this annoying issue please do synchronize you server clock by: * `NTP` if you are on a UX server * `manually` versus an atomic clock site (check Internet) by using your workstation GUI #### No wildcard Do keep in mind CCU V3 APIs doesn't support contents specification by wildcard. #### Mixed bulk When specifying contents by bulk on the CLI, you cannot include both CP codes and URLs resources on the same file. The library tries to detect which mode to use basing on entries kind: mixing them will generate unexpected behaviour.
