Akamai {OPEN} EdgeGrid Authentication for ruby (net/http)

This library implements the Akamai {OPEN} EdgeGrid Authentication scheme for the ruby net/http library.

For more information visit the Akamai {OPEN} Developer Community.

Installation

This library requires ruby v1.9 or later. To easily install we recommend using rbenv, rubygems and bundler

  • Install from rubygems
gem install akamai-edgegrid
  • Install from sources (we assume you already have rbenv going)
rbenv local 2.5.3
gem install bundler
bundle install
rake test
gem build akamai-edgegrid.gemspec
gem install akamai-edgegrid-1.0.gem

Usage

require 'akamai/edgegrid'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

baseuri = URI('https://akaa-xxxxxxxxx.luna.akamaiapis.net/')

http = Akamai::Edgegrid::HTTP.new(
    address=baseuri.host,
    port=baseuri.port
)

http.setup_edgegrid(
    :client_token => 'ccccccccccccccc',
    :client_secret => 'sssssssssssssssssssssss',
    :access_token => 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
    :max_body => 128 * 1024
)

# example of simple GET request
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new URI.join(baseuri.to_s, '/diagnostic-tools/v1/locations').to_s
response = http.request(request)
puts response.body

# exmaple of POST request with a json formatted request body

require 'json'
account_id = 'account-id-goes-here'
start_time = Time.now.to_i * 1000
end_time = start_time + 86400000

post_request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(
    URI.join(baseuri.to_s, "/events/v2/#{account_id}/events").to_s,
    initheader = { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }
)

post_request.body = {
    "name" => "A test event",
    "start" => start_time,
    "end" => end_time
}.to_json

post_response = http.request(post_request)
puts post_response.body
  1. First initialize a new EdgegridHTTP object. This is a subclass of Net::HTTP and thus has all methods from that class avaialble for use.

  2. Next initialize the configuration of Edgegrid via the setup_edgegrid method. You must pass the :client_token, and :client_secret from the "Credentials" screen of the Manage APIs UI and the :access_token from the "Authorizations" section of the Manage APIs UI.

  3. Finally, use Net::HTTP methods as usual. EdgegridHTTP will add the property Authentication header to sign your http messages.

Alternate Method using .edgerc

If you want to use the .edgerc method of authentication, similar to the python, php and Perl examples, you can find information on how to create the file on the developer portal in the Introduction section. If you are using the .edgerc file the example code is a little different:

require 'akamai/edgegrid'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

http = Akamai::Edgegrid::HTTP.new(get_host(), 443)

baseuri = URI('https://' + http.host)

http.setup_from_edgerc({:section => 'default'})

request = Net::HTTP::Get.new URI.join(baseuri.to_s, 'diagnostic-tools/v1/locations').to_s
response = http.request(request)
puts response.body

All other methods should work exactly the same.
