The JWT generator supports Ruby version 2.5 or newer.

To install the Ruby client library using Rubygems:

gem install nexmo-jwt

Alternatively you can clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:Nexmo/nexmo-jwt-ruby.git

By default the Nexmo JWT generator creates a short lived JWT (15 minutes) per request. To generate a long lived JWT for multiple requests, specify a longer value in the exp parameter during initialization.

Example with no custom configuration:

@builder = Nexmo::JWTBuilder.new(application_id: YOUR_APPLICATION_ID, private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY)
@token = @builder.jwt.generate

Example providing custom configuration options:

@builder = Nexmo::JWTBuilder.new(
  application_id: YOUR_APPLICATION_ID,
  private_key: YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY,
  ttl: 500,
  paths: {
    "acl": {
      "paths": {
        "/messages": {
          "methods": ["POST", "GET"],
          "filters": {
            "from": "447977271009"  
          }     
        }  
      }   
    }
  },
  subject: 'My_Custom_Subject'
)
@token = @builder.jwt.generate
