The easiest and most complete Ruby library for the Paddle APIs, both Classic and Billing.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "paddle", "~> 2.5"
For accessing the new Billing API from Paddle. For more info, view the Paddle Billing page.
Firstly you'll need to generate and set your API Key and the environment.
You can find and generate an API key here for production, or here for sandbox
Paddle.configure do |config|
# Use :development or :sandbox for the Sandbox API
# Or use :production for the Production API
config.environment = :sandbox
config.api_key = ENV["PADDLE_API_KEY"]
# Set the API version. Defaults to 1
config.version = 1
end
The gem maps as closely as we can to the Paddle API so you can easily convert API examples to gem code.
Responses are created as objects like Paddle::Product
. Having types like Paddle::Product
is handy for understanding what
type of object you're working with. They're built using OpenStruct so you can easily access data in a Ruby-ish way.
Some of the endpoints return pages of results. The result object will have a data
key to access the results.
An example of using collections, including pagination:
results = Paddle::Product.list(per_page: 10)
#=> Paddle::Collection
results.total
#=> 10
results.data
#=> [#<Paddle::Product>, #<Paddle::Product>]
results.each do |result|
puts result.id
end
results.first
#=> #<Paddle::Product>
results.last
#=> #<Paddle::Product>
# Retrieve the next page
Paddle::Product.list(per_page: 10, after: "abc123")
#=> Paddle::Collection
Note
The Paddle API doesn't take nil
values for optional parameters. If you want to remove a value, you'll need to pass "null"
instead.
For API endpoints that support it, you can use the update
method to update a record, like so:
Paddle::Product.retrieve(id: "pro_abc123").update(name: "My New Name")
# List all products
# https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/products/list-products
Paddle::Product.list
Paddle::Product.list(status: "active")

For accessing the Paddle Classic API
Firstly you'll need to set your Vendor ID, Vendor Auth Code and if you want to use the Sandbox API or not.
You can find your vendor details here for production, or here for sandbox
@client = Paddle::Classic::Client.new(
vendor_id: "",
vendor_auth_code: "",
# Use the sandbox version of the API
sandbox: true
)
# Retrieves a list of Plans
@client.plans.list
# List all users subscribed to any plan
@client.users.list
@client.users.list(subscription_id: "abc123")
@client.users.list(plan_id: "abc123")
@client.users.list(state: "active")
@client.users.list(state: "deleted")
# Update a user's subscription
# https://developer.paddle.com/api-reference/e3872343dfbba-update-user
@client.users.update(subscription_id: "abc123")
# Pause a user's subscription
@client.users.pause(subscription_id: "abc123")
# Unpause a user's subscription
@client.users.unpause(subscription_id: "abc123")
# Update the Postcode/ZIP Code of a user's subscription
@client.users.update_postcode(subscription_id: "abc123", postcode: "123abc")
# Cancel a user's subscription
@client.users.cancel(subscription_id: "abc123")
