The KISSmetrics API provides an authentication realm of a digital signature of the request. This gem helps to put the pieces together and construct the URL with the signature.

This is used within the core KISSmetrics Ruby API Wrapper to help abstract the building of the requests.

Using this without a wrapper will require you to manually provide your client_secret.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'uri_signer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install uri_signer

Usage

At any point, you can use the reload_yard command to view the documentation of the provided code. The basic usage is:

http_method = 'get'
uri = "https://api.example.com/v1/endpoint.json?page=2&per_page=12&order=name:desc&select=id,name"
secret = "my_secret"

signer = UriSigner::Signer.new(http_method, uri, secret)
=> #<UriSigner::Signer:0x007fd84ebf5490 @http_method="get", @uri="https://api.example.com/v1/endpoint.json?page=2&per_page=12&order=name:desc&select=id,name", @secret="my_secret">

signer.http_method
=> "GET"

signer.uri
=> "https://api.example.com/v1/endpoint.json?page=2&per_page=12&order=name:desc&select=id,name"

signer.signature
=> "Itt0xvD1ZAHHXP2ItX6PeXMfjOovr8MVgbpoXpq3158%3D"

signer.uri_with_signature
=> "https://api.example.com/v1/endpoint.json?page=2&per_page=12&order=name:desc&select=id,name&_signature=Itt0xvD1ZAHHXP2ItX6PeXMfjOovr8MVgbpoXpq3158%3D"

signer.valid?('Itt0xvD1ZAHHXP2ItX6PeXMfjOovr8MVgbpoXpq3158%3D')
=> true

signer.valid?('invalid')
=> false
