Cassie BowlesWhy do you need it?
This snippet might be helpful to you if you need to pull your message records from SignalWire into a more readable format or somewhere easy to store. You can use one or more of the following parameters to further filter your records and return only the specific information that you need: DateSent, DateSentAfter, DateSentBefore, From, and To.
What does it do?
This code will query your project and return all of the messages (both inbound and outbound) within your project, limited by whatever parameters you choose to use. This example shows how to filter all messages by a particular date range and specifies a page size. It will then take this data and insert it into a CSV for your records or further use.
Technical specifications
For the Ruby version of this snippet, You MUST have ActiveSupport installed. You can read about installing active support here.
You must have the SignalWire Ruby SDK installed. You can install that here.
Change the following variables
ProjectID - Your project ID is an alphanumeric string that tells the SignalWire SDK where to find your project. You can find this in an easily copyable format by going to your SignalWire Portal and clicking the API tab on the left-hand side.
AuthToken - Your Auth Token is an alphanumeric string that helps to authenticate your HTTP requests to SignalWire. You can create this (if you haven’t already) or copy this in an easily copyable format by going to your SignalWire Portal and clicking the API tab. If you have not created an API token, press the blue new button. If you have, click show and copy the string.
SpaceURL - Your space URL is the domain of your space, i.e. example.signalwire.com. This can also be found in an easily copyable format within the API tab in your SignalWire space.
Change the date and page size when calling clients.messages.list() to specify the date range and amount of results returned that you need. If you are filtering by another parameter, you can add it within client.messages.list()
