Authentication is done via API keys. Sign up at https://developers.messagemedia.com/register/ to get your API keys.

Requests are authenticated using HTTP Basic Auth or HMAC. Provide your API key as the auth_user_name and API secret as the auth_password.

Our API returns standard HTTP success or error status codes. For errors, we will also include extra information about what went wrong encoded in the response as JSON. The most common status codes are listed below.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please join our Slack channel: https://developers.messagemedia.com/collaborate/slack/

Alternatively you can email us at: developers@messagemedia.com

If you discover a problem with the SDK, we would like to know about it. You can raise an issue or send an email to: developers@messagemedia.com

We welcome your thoughts on how we could best provide you with SDKs that would simplify how you consume our services in your application. You can fork and create pull requests for any features you would like to see or raise an issue

Run the following command to install the SDK via RubyGems:

gem install messagemedia_lookups

It's easy to get started. Simply enter the API Key and secret you obtained from the MessageMedia Developers Portal into the code snippet below and a mobile number you wish to send to.

require 'message_media_lookups'

# Configuration parameters and credentials
auth_user_name = 'YOUR_API_KEY' # The username to use with basic/HMAC authentication
auth_password = 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY' # The password to use with basic/HMAC authentication
use_hmac = false # Change this to true if you are using HMAC keys

client = MessageMediaLookups::MessageMediaLookupsClient.new(
  auth_user_name: auth_user_name,
  auth_password: auth_password,
  use_hmac: use_hmac
)

lookups_controller = client.lookups

phone_number = 'YOUR_MOBILE_NUMBER'
options = 'carrier,type'

result = lookups_controller.get_lookup_a_phone_number(phone_number, options)
print result.inspect
