Smbglobal::Sms

This gem is a wrapper to send SMS using SMBGlobal HTTP API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'smbglobal-sms'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install smbglobal-sms

Configuration

We get credential from your environment variables, please set your API's username and password via:

SMBGLOBAL_USERNAME
SMBGLOBAL_PASSWORD

To overwrite the host name, you can create a smbglobal_sms.rb file:

SmbglobalSms.configure do |config|
  config.host_name = "api.smbglobal.net"
end

Usage

You need to create a SmbglobalSms::Request object in order to send SMS.

transaction_id = get_any_integer_unique_id
request  = SmbglobalSms::Request.new
response = request.send_sms(transaction_id, "Meet you at 5", [87656765, 98765676])

A SmbglobalSms::Response object will be returned to you to check for status and remaining credits.

response.status  #=> 100
response.credits #=> 4500

Please note that credits reflected has been normalized, which means if you see 4500 credits left, you can send 4500 more SMS messages. SMBGlobal usually uses 4 credits for 1 SMS message, but in order to simplify thing, we will use 1 credit for 1 SMS message.
