Bigbank Ruby Client

Installation

Add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'bigbank-client'

Bigbank requirements

• You need to send them an IP or IP Range for them to whitelist requests from your servers.
• Request a partner key to authorize your requests.

Configuration

Rails: put this inside an initializer at e.g. config/initializers/bigbank_client.rb

# Available endpoints:
# - Estonia: https://www.bigbank.ee/
# - Latvia: https://www.bigbank.lv/
# - Lithuania: https://www.bigbank.lt/
# - Finland: https://www.bigbank.fi/
# - Sweden: https://www.bigbank.se/
# - Spain: https://www.bigbank.es/

Bigbank::Client.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint = "https://ansok.bigbank.se/"
  config.partner_key = "super-secret-partner-key"
  # config.adapter = Faraday.default_adapter
  # config.verify_ssl = true
  # config.enable_proxy = false
  # config.proxy = "https://username:[email protected]/"
end

Usage

Endpoint requests will return a Bigbank::Client::Result or a child of this class e.g. Bigbank::Client::ApplicationResult which you can then work with as if it was an Enumerable.

Any method that you call and is not defined on the result class will be forwarded to the resulting body which is a JSON hash. This means that you can work directly with the result as an Enumarable calling e.g. #each or #count. The following methods are however available on all results:

• #success?
• #errors?
• #response access the underlying request object (see lostisland/faraday for more info).

Example result

fields = Bigbank::Client::Fields.all
#=> <Bigbank::Client::Result:0x007fc7698a3b48>

fields.each { |field| puts field }

Supported endpoints

Fields

Retrieve all fields to build a loan application form.

fields = Bigbank::Client::Fields.all
# => <Bigbank::Client::Result:0x007fc7698a3b48>

fields.each { |field| puts field }

Application

Create a loan application. You pass in the fields, they are however specific to your application so you need to look up what fields you are expected to POST.

response = Bigbank::Client::Application.create({
    ...
  })
# => #<Bigbank::Client::Result:0x007fc7698a3b48>

Extra methods the result of this endpoint:

• #contract downloads the contract and returns a Tempfile or nil

Using a proxy

If you are running into SSL issue while making https:// requests you are advised to set verify_ssl = false. Just don't do this in production unless you really need it e.g. to use a proxy, as this opens up a potential attack vector in your software.
