:closed_lock_with_key: Authentication

Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.

Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. Provide your API key as the auth_user_name and API secret as the auth_password.

:interrobang: Errors

Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.

HTTP Status Codes

Code	Title	Description
400	Invalid Request	The request was invalid
401	Unauthorized	Your API credentials are invalid
403	Disabled feature	Feature not enabled
404	Not Found	The resource does not exist
50X	Internal Server Error	An error occurred with our API

Lookup a number

require 'message_media_lookups'

# Configuration parameters and credentials
auth_user_name = 'YOUR_API_KEY' # The username to use with basic/HMAC authentication
auth_password = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY' # The password to use with basic/HMAC authentication
use_hmac = false # Change this to true if you are using HMAC keys

client = MessageMediaLookups::MessageMediaLookupsClient.new(
  auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
  auth_password: auth_password,
  use_hmac: use_hmac
)

lookups_controller = client.lookups

phone_number = 'YOUR_MOBILE_NUMBER'
