# BingAdsRubySdk ## Installation Add the following to your application's Gemfile: ```ruby gem 'bing_ads_ruby_sdk' ``` And then execute: $ bundle Or install it yourself as: $ gem install bing_ads_ruby_sdk ## Getting Started In order to use Microsoft's advertising API you need to [get your API credentials from MS](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/guides/get-started?view=bingads-13). From there gem handles OAuth token generation. By default, there is only one store in the gem to store the oauth token. It's a file system based store. You can create one yourself to store credentials in a database or wherever you desire. The store class must implement `read` and `write(data)` instance methods. To get your token, run the `bing_token:get` rake task, then follow the prompts. Here's an example: ```shell bin/rake bing_token:get['credentials.json',YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN,YOUR_CLIENT_ID,YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET] # For example: bin/rake bing_token:get['credentials.json',ABC1234,3431b6d0-a2ac-48e1-a1c5-1d0b82f3187f,SECRETVALUEHERE] ``` Then to use the api: ```ruby store = ::BingAdsRubySdk::OAuth2::FsStore.new('my_token.json') api = BingAdsRubySdk::Api.new( oauth_store: store, developer_token: 'your_dev_token', client_id: 'your_bing_client_id' ) ``` If you want to create an account using the API: ```ruby api.customer_management.signup_customer( parent_customer_id: parent_customer_id, customer: customer_data, # a hash with your params account: account_data.merge("@type" => "AdvertiserAccount") ) ``` Otherwise you can [use existing account IDs as explained here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/advertising/guides/get-started?view=bingads-13#get-ids), or use the `customer_management` endpoint as explained below. Once you have your MS Advertising customer and account ids: ```ruby api.set_customer(customer_id: customer_id, account_id: account_id ) api.campaign_management.get_campaigns_by_account_id(account_id: account_id) ``` You'll see services like `customer_management` implement some methods, but not all the ones available in the API. The methods implemented contain additional code to ease data manipulation but any endpoint can be reached using `call` on a service. ```ruby @cm = api.customer_management @cm.call(:find_accounts_or_customers_info, filter: 'name', top_n: 1) # => { account_info_with_customer_data: { account_info_with_customer_data: [{ customer_id: "250364751", : # VS method dedicated to extract data @cm.find_accounts_or_customers_info(filter: 'name', top_n: 1) # => [{ customer_id: "250364731" ... ``` ## Configure the gem ```ruby BingAdsRubySdk.configure do |conf| conf.log = true conf.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG conf.pretty_print_xml = true # to filter sensitive data before logging conf.filters = ["AuthenticationToken", "DeveloperToken"] # Optionally allow ActiveSupport::Notifications to be emitted by Excon. # These notifications can then be sent on to your profiling system # conf.instrumentor = ActiveSupport::Notifications end ``` ## Development You can run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org). ### Updating to a new Bing API version Bing regularly releases new versions of the API and removes support for old versions. When you want to support a new version of the API, here are some of the things that need to be changed: * Go to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bingads/guides/migration-guide to see what has changed * Set the default SDK version in lib/bing_ads_ruby_sdk/version.rb ### Specs After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run unit tests. If you want to run the integration tests they are in the `spec/examples/` folders. Remember that these will create real accounts and entities in Microsoft Advertising so take care to check your account spending settings. Here's how to run the tests: * Make sure you have the token as described above * Put your Client ID, Developer Token, and Parent Customer ID in the methods with the same names in `spec/examples/examples.rb` * Run the specs in order, for example: * `bundle exec rspec spec/examples/1_...`, at the end of the spec there will be a message at the end about copying an ID into `spec/examples/examples.rb` * `bundle exec rspec spec/examples/2_...` * keep repeating until you have run all the specs in `spec/examples` ## Contributing Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/Effilab/bing_ads_ruby_sdk. ## License The gem is available as open source under the terms of the [MIT License](http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT).
