Bugsnag API Toolkit for Ruby

The library allows for quick read/write access to the Bugsnag API from your Ruby applications. You can use this library to build your own applications which leverage data found in your Bugsnag dashboard.

If you are looking to automatically detect crashes in your Ruby apps, you should take a look at the Bugsnag Ruby Detection Library instead.

This library borrows heavily from the code and philosophies of the fantastic Octokit library. A big thanks to @pengwynn and the rest of the Octokit team!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "bugsnag-api"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bugsnag-api

Usage

Making Requests

API methods are available as module methods or as client instance methods.

# Provide authentication credentials
Bugsnag::Api.configure do |config|
  config.auth_token = "your-account-api-token"
end

# Fetch the current account
account = Bugsnag::Api.account

or...

# Create an non-static API client
client = Bugsnag::Api::Client.new(auth_token: "your-account-api-token")

# Access API methods on the client
accounts = client.accounts

Consuming Resources

Most methods return a Resource object which provides dot notation and [] access for fields returned in the API response.

# Fetch the current account
account = Bugsnag::Api.account

puts account.name
# => "Acme Co"

puts account.fields
# => #<Set: {:id, :name, :created_at, :updated_at, :url, :users_url, :projects_url, :account_creator, :billing_contact}>

puts account[:id]
# => "50baed0d9bf39c1431000003"

account.rels[:users].href
# => "https://api.bugsnag.com/accounts/50baed0d9bf39c1431000003/users"

Accessing Related Resources

Resources returned by Bugsnag API methods contain not only data but hypermedia link relations:

account = Bugsnag::Api.account

# Get the users rel, returned from the API as users_url in the resource
account.rels[:users].href
# => "https://api.bugsnag.com/accounts/50baed0d9bf39c1431000003/users"

users = account.rels[:users].get.data
users.last.name
# => "James Smith"

When processing API responses, all *_url attributes are culled in to the link relations collection. Any url attribute becomes .rels[:self].

Authentication

API usage requires authentication. You can authenticate using either your Bugsnag account's auth token or with your Bugsnag user credentials.

# Authenticate with your Bugsnag account's auth token
Bugsnag::Api.configure do |config|
  config.auth_token = "your-account-api-token"
end

# Authenticate using your Bugsnag email address and password
Bugsnag::Api.configure do |config|
  config.email = "example@example.com"
  config.password = "password"
end

Pagination

Many Bugsnag API resources are paginated. While you may be tempted to start adding :page parameters to your calls, the API returns links to the next and previous pages for you in the Link response header, which we expose in rels:

errors = Bugsnag::Api.errors("project-id", per_page: 100)
errors.concat Bugsnag::Api.last_response.rels[:next].get.data

Accessing HTTP responses

While most methods return a Resource object or a Boolean, sometimes you may need access to the raw HTTP response headers. You can access the last HTTP response with Client#last_response:

account   = Bugsnag::Api.account
response  = Bugsnag::Api.last_response
status    = response.headers[:status]

API Methods

Accounts

# List your accounts
accounts = Bugsnag::Api.accounts

# Get a single account
account = Bugsnag::Api.account("account-id")

# Get authenticated account (requires account auth)
account = Bugsnag::Api.account

Comments

# List error comments
comments = Bugsnag::Api.comments("error-id")

# Get a single comment
comment = Bugsnag::Api.comment("comment-id")

# Create a comment
comment = Bugsnag::Api.create_comment("error-id", "comment message")

# Update a comment
comment = Bugsnag::Api.update_comment("comment-id", "new comment message")

# Delete a comment
Bugsnag::Api.delete_comment("comment-id")

Errors

# List project errors
errors = Bugsnag::Api.errors("project-id")

# Get a single error
error = Bugsnag::Api.error("error-id")

# Resolve an error
error = Bugsnag::Api.resolve_error("error-id")

# Re-open an error
error = Bugsnag::Api.reopen_error("error-id")

# Update an error
error = Bugsnag::Api.update_error("error-id", {
  resolved: true
})

# Delete an error
error = Bugsnag::Api.delete_error("error-id")

Events

# List project events
events = Bugsnag::Api.events("project-id")

# List error events
events = Bugsnag::Api.error_events("error-id")

# Get a single event
event = Bugsnag::Api.event("event-id")

# Delete an event
Bugsnag::Api.delete_event("event-id")

Projects

# List account projects
projects = Bugsnag::Api.projects("account-id")

# List authenticated account's projects (requires account auth)
projects = Bugsnag::Api.projects

# List user projects
projects = Bugsnag::Api.user_projects("user-id")

# Get a single project
project = Bugsnag::Api.project("project-id")

# Create a project
project = Bugsnag::Api.create_project("account-id", {
  name: "Name",
  type: "rails"
})

# Update a project
project = Bugsnag::Api.update_project("project-id", {
  name: "New Name"
})

# Delete a project
Bugsnag::Api.delete_project("project-id")

Users

# List account users
users = Bugsnag::Api.users("account-id")

# List authenticated account's users (requires account auth)
users = Bugsnag::Api.users

# List project users
users = Bugsnag::Api.project_users("project-id")

# Get a single user
user = Bugsnag::Api.user("user-id")

# Get authenticated user (requires user auth)
user = Bugsnag::Api.user

# Invite a user to an account
user = Bugsnag::Api.invite_user("account-id", "example@example.com", {
  admin: true
})

# Update a user's account permissions
user = Bugsnag::Api.update_user_permissions("account-id", "user-id", {
  admin: false
})

# Remove a user from an account
Bugsnag::Api.remove_user("account-id", "user-id")

Advanced Configuration

Endpoint

By default, https://api.bugsnag.com is used for API access, if you are using Bugsnag Enterprise, you can configure a custom endpoint.

Bugsnag::Api.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint = "http://api.bugsnag.example.com"
end

Proxy

If you are using a proxy, you can configure the API client to use it.

Bugsnag::Api.configure do |config|
  config.proxy = {
    uri:        "http://proxy.example.com",
    user:       "foo",
    password:   "bar"
  }
end
