Usage¶ ↑

require "sift"

Sift.api_key = '<your_api_key_here>'
Sift.account_id = '<your_account_id_here>'
client = Sift::Client.new()

# send a transaction event -- note this is blocking
event = "$transaction"

user_id = "23056"  # User ID's may only contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9, =, ., -, _, +, @, :, &, ^, %, !, $

properties = {
 "$user_id" => user_id, 
  "$user_email" => "[email protected]", 
  "$seller_user_id" => "2371", 
  "seller_user_email" => "[email protected]", 
  "$transaction_id" => "573050", 
  "$payment_method" => {
    "$payment_type"    => "$credit_card",
    "$payment_gateway" => "$braintree",
    "$card_bin"        => "542486",
    "$card_last4"      => "4444"             
  },
  "$currency_code" => "USD",
  "$amount" => 15230000,
}

response = client.track(event, properties)

response.ok?  # returns true or false
response.body  # API response body
response.http_status_code  # HTTP response code, 200 is ok.
response.api_status  # status field in the return body, Link to Error Codes
response.api_error_message  # Error message associated with status Error Code

# Request a score for the user with user_id 23056
response = client.score(user_id)

# Label the user with user_id 23056 as Bad with all optional fields
response = client.label(user_id, {
  "$is_bad" => true,
  "$abuse_type" => "payment_abuse",
  "$description" => "Chargeback issued",
  "$source" => "Manual Review",
  "$analyst" => "analyst.name@your_domain.com"
})

# Get the status of a workflow run
response = client.get_workflow_status('my_run_id')

# Get the latest decisions for a user
response = client.get_user_decisions('example_user_id')

# Get the latest decisions for an order
response = client.get_order_decisions('example_order_id')
