# Onfido Ruby Library The official Ruby library for integrating with the Onfido API. Documentation can be found at . This version uses Onfido API v3.6. Refer to our [API versioning guide](https://developers.onfido.com/guide/api-versioning-policy#client-libraries) for details of which client library versions use which versions of the API. [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/onfido.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/onfido) ![Build Status](https://github.com/onfido/onfido-ruby/actions/workflows/ruby.yml/badge.svg) ## Installation & Usage ### Installation ```ruby gem onfido, '~> 4.0.0' ``` Configure with your API token, region and optional timeout (default value is 30): ```ruby require onfido Onfido.configure do |config| config.api_token = ENV["ONFIDO_API_TOKEN"] config.region = config.region[:EU] config.timeout = 30 end onfido_api = Onfido::DefaultApi.new ``` All resources share the same interface when making API calls. Use `.create` to create a resource, `.find` to find one, and `.all` to fetch all resources. ### Making a call to the API ```ruby applicant = onfido_api.create_applicant( first_name: 'Test', last_name: 'Applicant' ) ``` Documentation and code examples can be found at https://documentation.onfido.com ## Error Handling All errors are wrapped by `ApiError` coming from [FaradayException](https://www.rubydoc.info/github/lostisland/faraday/Faraday/ClientError): - `Connection timed out` is raised in case of `Faraday::TimeoutError` - `Connection failed` is raised in case of `Faraday::ConnectionFailed` All errors provide the `code`, `response_headers`, and `response_body` of the error. ```ruby def create_applicant onfido_api.create_applicant(params) rescue Onfido::ApiError => e e.message # => 'Unprocessable entity' e.response_body # => { error: { type: "validation_error", message: "", fields: { "email": [ "invalid format" ] } } } e.code # => '422' end ``` ### Webhook event verification Webhook events payload needs to be verified before it can be accessed. Library allows to easily decode the payload and verify its signature before returning it as an object for user convenience: ```ruby require 'onfido/webhook_event_verifier' def webhook_verifier() verifier = Onfido::WebhookEventVerifier.new(ENV["ONFIDO_WEBHOOK_SECRET_TOKEN"]) signature = "a0...760e" event = verifier.read_payload('{"payload":{"r...3"}}', signature) rescue Onfido::OnfidoInvalidSignatureError => e e.type e.fields e.response_code end ``` ## Contributing This library is automatically generated using [OpenAPI Generator](https://openapi-generator.tech) (version: 7.9.0); therefore all the contributions, except tests files, should target [Onfido OpenAPI specification repository](https://github.com/onfido/onfido-openapi-spec/tree/master) instead of this repository.
