Constructor Details

#initialize(base_url, access_token:, http_adapter: [DEFAULT_ADAPTER], connection_options: {}, default_headers: {}) ⇒ Starling::ApiService

Instantiates a Starling::ApiService for dispatching requests to the Starling Bank API

Parameters:

  • base_url (String) —

    The base URL for the Starling API, including the protocol and hostname, to which the BASE_PATH and request paths will be added

  • access_token (String) —

    A personal access token for the Starling Bank API

  • http_adapter (Array) (defaults to: [DEFAULT_ADAPTER]) —

    The HTTP adapter to be used, defaulting to DEFAULT_ADAPTER

  • connection_options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    A hash of options to be passed in when instantiating Faraday (for example for setting the request timeout)

  • default_headers (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    A set of user-provided HTTP headers to add to each request, alongside the library’s defaults defined in #library_default_headers

  • path (String) —

    The path of the API endpoint, which will be appended to the BASE_PATH

  • params (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The parameters which will be included in the request, either in the URL or the body, depending on the method

  • headers (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    Additional headers to be included in your request, which will be merged on top of the service’s default headers

Returns:
