GAuthify-Ruby

Direct link to library.

This is the Ruby API Client for GAuthify. The GAuthify REST api helps websites quickly add multi-factor authentication through Google Authenticator, SMS, and Email. This package is a simple wrapper around that api.

Installation

This library requires and automatically installs requests.

To install by GEM:

gem install gauthify

Or download package, cd in the directory:

gem build gauthify.gemspec
gem install ./gauthify-<VERSION>.gem

To run a quick test to make sure everything works fine run:

require 'gauthify'
GAuthify.new(<api_key>).quick_test(<test_email>(optional), <test_number>(optional))

Usage

####Initiate:#### First get an API key by signing up for an account here.

First instantiate a GAuthify object:

require 'gauthify'
auth_instance = GAuthify.new(<api_key>)

####Create User:####

auth_instance.create_user(<unique_id>, <display_name>, <email> *optional, <sms_number> *optional, <voice_number> *optional, <meta> *optional)

• unique_id: An id to identify user. Could be the PK used for the user in your db.
• display_name: Name that will be displayed on the library
• email: A valid email
• sms_number: A valid mobile phone number for sms (Currently US only!)
• voice_number: A valid phone number for calls (Currently US only!)
• meta: A dictionary of key/value pairs to be added to meta data
• Returns: The user hash or raises Error

The user hash returned will have parameters outlined on the GAuthify.com dashboard page. You can show the user the QR code to scan in their google authenticator application or you can link/iframe the instructions url.

####Update User:####

auth_instance.update_user(<unique_id>, <email> *optional, <sms_number> *optional, <voice_number> *optional, <meta> *optional, <reset_key> *optional)

• unique_id: An id to identify user. Could be the PK used for the user in your db.
• display_name: Name that will be displayed on the library
• phone_number: A valid mobile phone number for sms (Currently US only!)
• email: A valid email
• sms_number: A valid mobile phone number for sms (Currently US only!)
• voice_number: A valid phone number for calls (Currently US only!)
• meta: A dictionary of key/value pairs to be added to meta data
• reset_key: If set to any in ['true' ,'t', '1'] the Google Authenticator secret key will be reset to a new one.
• Returns: The updated user hash or raises Error

####Delete User:####

auth_instance.delete_user(<unique_id>)

• unique_id: An id to identify user. Could be the PK used for the user in your db.
• Returns: True or raises Error

####Get All Users:####

auth_instance.get_all_users()

• Returns: List of user hashes

####Get User:####

auth_instance.get_user(<unique_id>)

• unique_id: An id to identify user. Could be the PK used for the user in your db.
• Returns: User hash or raises Error

####Get User By Token:####

auth_instance.get_user_by_token(<token>)

• token: A 35 char token that starts with gat given by ezGAuth.

####Check Auth Code:####

auth_instance.check_auth(<unique_id>, <auth_code>, safe_mode = False)

• auth_code: Code retrieved from Google Authenticator, SMS, EMail, or OTP
• safe_mode: If set to true, all exceptions during the request will be suppressed and the check will return True. This essentially temporary bypasses 2-factor authentication if there is a unusual server error.
• Return: True/False (bool) or raises Error

####Send Voice:####

auth_instance.send_voice(<unique_id>, <voice_number> *optional)

• voice_number: A valid us phone number for calls (Currently US only!)
• Returns: User hash or raises Error

Errors

Up to-date json formatted errors can be grabbed from the server using:

auth_instance.api_errors()

They should rarely change and will be backward compatible.

The primary error class is GAuthifyError, it can be used as follows:

require 'gauthify'

try:
    <code here>
except GAuthifyError => e:
    puts e.msg # The error message
    puts e.http_status # The http status code
    puts e.error_code # A error code listed in the GAuthfiy application
    puts e.response_body # The raw http response

The following errors extend GAuthifyError:

• ApiKeyError - Wraps 401 responses (api key issues)
• RateLimitError - Wraps 402 responses (Plan limits, etc)
• ParameterError - Wraps 406 response (Bad formatted unique_id, sms, phone number ,etc)
• ConflictError - Wraps 409 for when resource already exists.
• NotFoundError - Wraps 404 error (requesting a unique_id that doesn't exist)
• ServerError - Wraps 500 and other server errors
