Semaphore

This gem provides a simple and intuitive Ruby API wrapper for interacting with the Semaphore API. With this gem, you can easily send messages, manage accounts, and perform other operations using the Semaphore API.

Usage

• Get your API key from https://semaphore.co/account

Quickstart

For a quick test you can pass your token directly to a new client:

semaphore = Semaphore::Client.new(api_key: '[API KEY]', sender_name: '[SENDER NAME]')

# Sending a message
semaphore.messages(
  parameters: {
    message: '[YOUR MESSAGE]',
    number: '[NUMBER]'
  }
)

# Sending a Bulk Message
semaphore.messages(
  parameters: {
    message: '[YOUR MESSAGE]',
    number: '[NUMBER], [NUMBER], [NUMBER], [NUMBER]' # Comma separated
  }
)

# Sending an OTP
semaphore.otp(
  parameters: {
    message: 'Thanks for registering. Your OTP Code is {otp}.',
    number: '[NUMBER]',
    code: 1234
  }
)

Using Config

To enhance your setup, you can configure the gem with your API keys in a more secure manner, such as in an semaphore.rb initializer file. This approach prevents hardcoding secrets directly into your codebase. Instead, consider using a gem like dotenv to safely pass the keys into your environments.

# config/initializers/semaphore.rb

Semaphore.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV.fetch("SEMAPHORE_API_KEY")
  config.sender_name = ENV.fetch("SEMAPHORE_SENDERNAME")
end

After configuring the API key, you can simply create a new client:

Semaphore::Client.new.messages(
  parameters: {
    message: '[YOUR MESSAGE]',
    number: '[NUMBER]'
  }
)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "ruby-semaphore"

And then execute:

$ bundle
