Ding Ruby SDK
The Ding Ruby library provides convenient access to the Ding API from applications written in the Ruby language.
Summary
Ding: The OTP API allows you to send authentication codes to your users using their phone numbers. The V1 API is deprecated. Technical support will end by October 2025 and will be removed by April 2026. No new features and functionality will be added to the V1 API.

SDK Installation
The SDK can be installed using RubyGems:
gem install ding_sdk
SDK Example Usage
SDK Example Usage
Send a code
Send an OTP code to a user's phone number.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
req = Models::Shared::CreateAuthenticationRequest.new(
customer_uuid: "cf2edc1c-7fc6-48fb-86da-b7508c6b7b71",
locale: "fr-FR",
phone_number: "+1234567890",
)
res = s.otp.create_authentication(req)
if ! res.create_authentication_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Check a code
Check that a code entered by a user is valid.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
req = Models::Shared::CreateCheckRequest.new(
authentication_uuid: "eebe792b-2fcc-44a0-87f1-650e79259e02",
check_code: "123456",
customer_uuid: "64f66a7c-4b2c-4131-a8ff-d5b954cca05f",
)
res = s.otp.check(req)
if ! res.create_check_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Perform a retry
Perform a retry if a user has not received the code.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
req = Models::Shared::RetryAuthenticationRequest.new(
authentication_uuid: "a4e4548a-1f7b-451a-81cb-a68ed5aff3b0",
customer_uuid: "28532118-1b33-420a-b57b-648c9bf85fee",
)
res = s.otp.retry(req)
if ! res.retry_authentication_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Send feedback
Send feedback about the authentication process.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
req = Models::Shared::FeedbackRequest.new(
customer_uuid: "cc0f6c04-40de-448f-8301-3cb0e6565dff",
phone_number: "+1234567890",
status: Models::Shared::FeedbackRequestStatus::ONBOARDED,
)
res = s.otp.feedback(req)
if ! res.feedback_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Get authentication status
Get the status of an authentication.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
res = s.otp.get_authentication_status(auth_uuid="d8446450-f2fa-4dd9-806b-df5b8c661f23")
if ! res.authentication_status_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Look up for phone number
Perform a phone number lookup.
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
res = s.lookup.lookup(customer_uuid="69a197d9-356c-45d1-a807-41874e16b555", phone_number="<value>", type=[
Models::Operations::Type::CNAM,
])
if ! res.lookup_response.nil?
# handle response
end
Authentication
Per-Client Security Schemes
This SDK supports the following security scheme globally:
Name | Type | Scheme |
---|---|---|
api_key |
apiKey | API key |
You can set the security parameters through the security
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
Available Resources and Operations
-
lookup- Look up for phone number ⚠️ Deprecated
-
check- Check a code ⚠️ Deprecated -
create_authentication- Send a code ⚠️ Deprecated -
feedback- Send feedback ⚠️ Deprecated -
get_authentication_status- Get authentication status ⚠️ Deprecated -
retry- Perform a retry ⚠️ Deprecated
Error Handling
Handling errors in this SDK should largely match your expectations. All operations return a response object or raise an error.
By default an API error will raise a Errors::APIError
, which has the following properties:
Property | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
message |
string | The error message |
status_code |
int | The HTTP status code |
raw_response |
Faraday::Response | The raw HTTP response |
body |
string | The response content |
When custom error responses are specified for an operation, the SDK may also throw their associated exception. You can refer to respective Errors tables in SDK docs for more details on possible exception types for each operation. For example, the check
method throws the following exceptions:
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
Models::Errors::ErrorResponse | 400 | application/json |
Errors::APIError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
Example
require 'ding_sdk'
s = ::DingSDK::Ding.new(
security: Models::Shared::Security.new(
api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY",
),
)
begin
req = Models::Shared::CreateCheckRequest.new(
authentication_uuid: "eebe792b-2fcc-44a0-87f1-650e79259e02",
check_code: "123456",
customer_uuid: "64f66a7c-4b2c-4131-a8ff-d5b954cca05f",
)
res = s.otp.check(req)
if ! res.create_check_response.nil?
# handle response
end
rescue Models::Errors::ErrorResponse => e
# handle $e->$container data
throw $e;
rescue Errors::APIError => e
# handle default exception
raise e
end
Server Selection
Override Server URL Per-Client
The default server can be overridden globally by passing a URL to the server_url (String)
optional parameter when initializing the SDK client instance. For example:
Development
Maturity
This SDK is in beta, and there may be breaking changes between versions without a major version update. Therefore, we recommend pinning usage to a specific package version. This way, you can install the same version each time without breaking changes unless you are intentionally looking for the latest version.
Contributions
While we value open-source contributions to this SDK, this library is generated programmatically. Feel free to open a PR or a Github issue as a proof of concept and we'll do our best to include it in a future release!
