Documentation

For more details visit PrivacyGate API docs.

To start using library, you'll need to create a PrivacyGate account. Once you've created your PrivacyGate account, create an API_KEY in Settings.

Next create a Client object for interacting with the API:

require 'privacygate'

API_KEY = "API KEY"
client = PrivacyGate::Client.new(api_key: API_KEY)

Client contains links to every Ruby Class representations of the API resources Checkout, Charge, Event

You can call list, auto_paging, create, retrieve, modify methods from API resource classes

client.charge.create
client.checkout.auto_paging 
client.event.list
client.charge.retrieve
client.checkout.modify

as well as save, delete, refresh methods from API resource class instances.

checkout = client.checkout.retrieve <id>
checkout.refresh
checkout.save
checkout.delete

Each API method returns an APIObject representing the JSON response from the API, all of the models support hash and JSON representation.\ Also when the response data is parsed into Ruby objects, the appropriate APIObject subclasses will be used automatically. All subclasses of APIResource class support refresh method. This will update their attributes and all nested data by making a fresh GET request to the relevant API endpoint.

The client supports handling of common API errors and warnings. All errors occuring during the interaction with the API will be raised as exceptions.

Validating webhook signatures

You should verify the webhook signatures using our library. To perform the verification you'll need to provide the event data, a webhook signature from the request header, and the endpoint’s secret. In case of an invalid request signature or request payload, you will receive an appropriate error message.

WEBHOOK_SECRET = 'your_webhook_secret'

# Using Sinatra
post '/webhooks' do
  request_payload = request.body.read
  sig_header = request.env['HTTP_X_CC_WEBHOOK_SIGNATURE']

  begin
    event = PrivacyGate::Webhook.construct_event(request_payload, sig_header, WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    # event handle
    puts "Received event id=#{event.id}, type=#{event.type}"
    status 200
  # errors handle
  rescue JSON::ParserError => e
    puts "json parse error"
    status 400
    return
  rescue PrivacyGate::Errors::SignatureVerificationError => e
    puts "signature verification error"
    status 400
    return
  rescue PrivacyGate::Errors::WebhookInvalidPayload => e
    puts "missing request or headers data"
    status 400
    return
  end
end
