Leal Ruby SDK

Install

bundle add leal

Your first call

Create a token at app.getleal.com/api_tokens, keep it in an environment variable, and hand it to the client once. Every request after that carries it for you.

require "leal"

leal = Leal::Client.new(token: ENV.fetch("LEAL_API_TOKEN"))

stores = leal.stores.list
puts stores.first.name

A token reaches every store its owner belongs to. There is no separate sandbox yet, so build against a store you do not mind changing.

Common tasks

customer = leal.customers.create(
  account_id: store_id,
  customer: { first_name: "Ada", email: "ada@example.com" },
  card_id: card_id
)

card = customer.customer_cards.first
puts card.apple_wallet_url, card.google_wallet_url

card = leal.customer_cards.stamp(
  account_id: store_id,
  customer_id: customer_id,
  id: customer_card_id,
  stamps: 1
)

puts "#{card.stamps_remaining} stamps to the next reward"

leal.customer_cards.redeem(
  account_id: store_id,
  customer_id: customer_id,
  id: customer_card_id,
  reward_id: reward_id
)

begin
  leal.customer_cards.stamp(
    account_id: store_id, customer_id: customer_id, id: customer_card_id, stamps: 1
  )
rescue Leal::Errors::ResponseError => error
  # Wait for the seconds in the Retry-After header, then try again.
  raise unless error.code == 429
end

Every endpoint is available, not just these. The Ruby repository lists them all, and the API reference documents each field.

Rate limits and retries

Leal allows 300 requests per minute per API token. The client retries a failed request on its own, backing off between attempts, so a brief wobble does not need handling in your code. Go past the limit and you get a 429 carrying Retry-After in seconds. If you need a higher limit, ask us.
