Bugsnag API Toolkit for Ruby

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

Version 3.x (current) and 2.x of this gem corresponds to v2 of the Data Access API, while 1.x uses the (deprecated) v1 of the Data Access API.

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

Require gem

require 'bugsnag/api'

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-personal-auth-token"
end

# Access API methods
organizations = Bugsnag::Api.organizations

or...

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

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

Consuming Resources

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

# Fetch an organization
org = Bugsnag::Api.organization("organization-id")

puts org.name
# => "Acme Co"

puts org.fields
# => #<Set: {:id, :name, :slug, :creator, :created_at, :updated_at, :auto_upgrade, :upgrade_url, :billing_emails}>

puts org.id
# => "50baed0d9bf39c1431000003"

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

Accessing Related Resources

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

project = Bugsnag::Api.projects("organization-id")

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

errors = project.rels[:errors].get.data
errors.first.message
# => "Can't find method: getStrng()"

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-personal-auth-token"
end

# Authenticate using your Bugsnag email address and password. Unavailable when
# using multi-factor authentication.
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)
last_response = Bugsnag::Api.last_response
until last_response.rels[:next].nil?
  last_response = last_response.rels[:next].get
  errors.concat last_response.data
end

Filtering

Events and Errors can be filtered to return a subset of data. Any of the filters usable in the Bugsnag dashoard can be used in this API. The filter object is a hash of Event Field keys containing an array of filter values. Each filter value has a type and a value to filter on. The type determines the type of comparison that will be performed.

`type`	Description	Multiple value combination logic
`eq`	Filter for items that 'match' the value. Some fields require an exact match and some support substring matching.	OR
`ne`	Filter for items that don't match the value.	AND

⚠️ Note that the Event Field search can not be used more than once in a call.

You can see the filterable fields for a project using the following snippet, after setting the project-id value.

fields = Bugsnag::Api.event_fields("project-id")

puts "List of the searchable fields for this project:"
fields.each_with_index do |field,idx|
  puts "  [#{idx}] #{field.display_id}"
end
# => List of the searchable fields for this project:
# =>   [0] event
# =>   [1] error
# =>   [2] search
# =>   [3] user.id
# => ...

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:

organization = Bugsnag::Api.organizations.first
response = Bugsnag::Api.last_response
status = response.headers[:status]

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
