Novu Ruby client library

This is a Ruby client library for communicating with the Novu API.

Installation

You can install the client library via RubyGems:

gem install novu

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'novu'

Then run bundle install.

Usage

To use the library, first initialize the client with your API token:

require 'novu'

client = Novu::Client.new(access_token: 'YOUR_NOVU_API_TOKEN')

You can then call methods on the client to interact with the Novu API:

client.notifications

Idempotent Request

This SDK allows you to perform idempotent requests, that is safely retrying requests without accidentally performing the same operation twice. To achieve this, provide an idempotency_key argument during initialization of the NOVU client. We strongly recommend that you use UUID format when you're generating your idempotency key.

client = Novu::Client.new(
  access_token: '<your-novu-api_key>', 
  idempotency_key: '<your-idempotency-key>'
)

Exponential Retry Mechanism

You can configure this SDK to retry failed requests. This is done by using Exponential backoff strategy. It is a common algorithm for retrying requests. The retries gradually extend the waiting time until reaching a specific limit. The concept is to prevent overloading the server with simultaneous requests once it is back online, especially in cases of temporary downtime.

client = Novu::Client.new(
  access_token: '<your-novu-api_key>', 
  idempotency_key: '<your-idempotency-key>',
  enable_retry: true, # it is disabled by default,
  retry_config: {
    max_retries: 3, 
    initial_delay: 4, 
    max_delay: 60
  }
)

The retry configuration is explained in the following table:

Options	Detail	Default Value	Data Type
max_retries	Specifies total number of retries to perform in case of failure	1	Integer
initial_delay	Specifies the minimum time to wait before retrying (in seconds)	4	Integer
max_delay	Specifies the maximum time to wait before retrying (in seconds)	60	Integer
enable_retry	enabling/disable the Exponential Retry mechanism	false	Boolean

Custom backend URL

To use a custom backend URL, for example to be able to use the EU Novu API, you can pass a custom backend_url when initializing the client.

client = Novu::Client.new(
  access_token: '<your-novu-api_key>', 
  backend_url: 'https://eu.api.novu.co/v1'
)

For more information about these methods and their parameters, see the API documentation.
