Drip Ruby Client

A Ruby toolkit for the Drip API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'drip-ruby', require: 'drip'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install drip-ruby

Authentication

For private integrations, you may use your personal API Token (found here) via the api_key setting:

client = Drip::Client.new do |c|
  c.api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
  c.account_id = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"
end

For public integrations, pass in the user's OAuth token via the access_token setting:

client = Drip::Client.new do |c|
  c.access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  c.account_id = "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"
end

You may also pass client options in an argument hash:

client = Drip::Client.new(
  access_token: "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  account_id: "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID"
)

Your account ID can be found here. Most API actions require an account ID, with the exception of methods like the "list accounts" endpoint.

Usage

Since the Drip client is a flat API client, most API actions are available as methods on the client object. The following methods are currently available:

Action	Method
List accounts	#accounts
List subscribers	#subscribers(options = {})
Create/update a subscriber	#create_or_update_subscriber(email, options = {})
Create/update a batch of subscribers	#create_or_update_subscribers(subscribers)
Fetch a subscriber	#subscriber(id_or_email)
Subscribe to a campaign	#subscribe(email, campaign_id, options = {})
Unsubscribe	#unsubscribe(id_or_email, options = {})
Delete	#delete_subscriber(id_or_email)
List tags	#tags
Apply a tag	#apply_tag(email, tag)
Remove a tag	#remove_tag(email, tag)
Track an event	#track_event(email, action, properties = {})
Track a batch of events	#track_events(events)
List campaigns	#campaigns
Create a purchase	#create_purchase(email, amount, options = {})
List purchases for a subscriber	#purchases(email)
Fetch a purchase	#purchase(email, id)

Use Cases

Here are some common use cases for the API client.

Fetching user accounts

Once you have an access token for a Drip user, you can fetch their accounts.

Initialize your client and pull down the user's accounts. To make further calls, set the account_id on your client to the account you want to access.

client = Drip::Client.new do |c|
  c.access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
end

resp = client.accounts
# => <Drip::Response ...>

account_id = resp.accounts.first.id
# => "9999999"

client.account_id = account_id

Fetching subscriber data

Subscribers can be looked up by their email address or by their Drip subscriber ID. Most of the time you will want to look up subscribers by their email address, unless you've already stored this ID in your database.

resp = client.subscriber("[email protected]")
# => <Drip::Response ...>

resp.success?
# => true

subscriber = resp.subscribers.first
subscriber.email
# => "[email protected]"
