Ruby API Reference

#Constructor

#Magic

The constructor allows you to specify your own API secret key and HTTP request strategy when your application is interacting with the Magic API.

Ruby
01Magic.new(api_secret_key: '<YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY>', retries: 5, timeout: 10, backoff: 0.03)

#Arguments

  • api_secret_key(str): Your API secret key retrieved from the Magic Dashboard.
  • retries(num): Total number of retries to allow.
  • timeout(num): A period of time the request is going to wait for a response.
  • backoff_factor(num): A backoff factor to apply between retry attempts.

#Returns

  • A Magic object that provides access to all the supported resources.

#Examples

Ruby
01require 'magic-admin'
02
03magic = Magic.new(api_secret_key: '<YOUR_API_SECRET_KEY>',
04        retries: 5,
05        timeout: 5,
06        backoff: 0.01)
07
08# Or add environment variables
09# `MAGIC_API_SECRET_KEY`
10# `MAGIC_API_RETRIES`
11# `MAGIC_API_TIMEOUT`
12# `MAGIC_API_BACKOFF`
13
14magic = Magic.new

#Token Resource

The token resource and its methods are accessible on the Magic instance by the token attribute. It provides methods to interact with the DID Token.

note

The token resource does not make any API calls to the Magic server.

Ruby
01require 'magic-admin'
02
03magic = Magic.new(api_secret_key: 'sk_live_...')
04magic.token
05magic.token.get_issuer
06magic.token.get_public_address
07magic.token.decode
08magic.token.validate

#get_issuer

Extracts the iss from the DID Token.

Ruby
01token.get_issuer(did_token)

#Arguments

did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic User on the client-side.

#Raises

DIDTokenError if the given DID Token is malformed.

#Returns

A Decentralized ID (iss) of the Magic user who generated the DID Token.

#Example

The example below is assuming you are already using a Ruby Web Framework (Rails, Sinatra, etc.) Web framework's specific imports are omitted in favor of the simplicity of the example. Only the magic_admin related imports are shown below.

It is important to always validate the DID Token before using.

#get_public_address

Gets the cryptographic public address of the Magic User who generated the supplied DID Token.

Ruby
01token.get_public_address(did_token)

#Arguments

did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic user on the client-side.

#Raises

#decode

Decodes a DID Token from a Base64 string into a tuple of its individual components: proof and claim. This method allows you decode the DID Token and inspect the token. You can apply your own rules and validations on top of the current token.validate method.

01Token.decode(did_token)

#Arguments

did_token (str): A DID Token generated by a Magic user on the client-side.

#Raises

DIDTokenError if the given DID Token is malformed.

#Returns

  • proof (str): A digital signature that proves the validity of the given claim
  • claim (dict): Unsigned data the user asserts. This should equal the proof after Elliptic Curve recovery. See Decentralized ID Token Specification for fields inside the claim.

#Response and Error Handling

#Response

There is only one response object that will be returned from a successful API call

#MagicResponse

This is the interface to interact Magic API responses. It will only be returned if the API request status code is between 200 (inclusive) and 300 (exclusive).

You will have access to the following attributes:

  • content (string): Raw content returned by the API response.
  • data (hash): Parsed content.
  • status_code (num): HTTP status code for the given request.
Ruby
01require 'magic-admin'
02
03response = MagicAdmin::Http::Response.new(http_resp)
04response.content
05response.data
06response.status_code

#Errors

The conventional HTTP response is adopted by the SDK. For the status code in :

  • 2XX - Indicates success
  • 4XX - Indicates client errors. Information provided to the SDK is invalid.
  • 5XX - Indicates server errors

Below is the error class inheritance which can help developers to programmatically handle the error cases.

#MagicError

This is the base class of all the Magic SDK errors.

Ruby
01MagicError.new('<message>')

#DIDTokenError

Any DID Token related error. This can mean the given token is malformed or invalid.

#RequestError

This is the base class of all the Magic API request errors. This error class will provide details of unsuccessful API requests.

Ruby
01http_detail = {
02   http_status: '<http_status>',
03   http_code: '<http_code>',
04   http_response: '<http_response>',
05   http_message: '<http_message>',
06   http_error_code: '<http_error_code>',
07   http_request_params: '<http_request_params>',
08   http_request_data: '<http_request_data>',
09   http_method: '<http_method>'
10}
11MagicAdmin::RequestError.new('<message>', http_detail)
CodeErrorDescription
429RateLimitingErrorToo many requests are submitted for a given period of time.
400BadRequestErrorThe API requests might have missing required fields or bad inputs.
401AuthenticationErrorThis means your API secret key is invalid.
403ForbiddenErrorThis normally means the given API secret key doesn't have permission to perform the action on the given resources.
APIErrorThis is a generic API error that handlers other status codes that are not explicitly handled. Ex: 500 , 404 , etc.
APIConnectionErrorNetwork connection error. This normally means the connection between your application and Magic API server cannot be established.

#Error Handling

It is recommended to handle the API errors gracefully.

Ruby
01begin
02   # Make requests to Magic server.
03rescue MagicAdmin::DIDTokenError => e
04   puts e.message
05rescue MagicAdmin::RateLimitingError => e
06   puts e.message
07rescue MagicAdmin::BadRequestError => e
08   puts e.message
09rescue MagicAdmin::AuthenticationError => e
10   puts e.message
11rescue MagicAdmin::ForbiddenError => e
12   puts e.message
13rescue MagicAdmin::APIError => e
14   puts e.message
15rescue MagicAdmin::APIConnectionError => e
16   puts e.message
17end
