Vonage APIs Quickstart Examples for Ruby on Rails

The purpose of the quickstart guide is to provide simple examples, each focused on one goal. For example, sending an SMS, making a Text to Speech call, or sending an image in WhatsApp. All using Vonage APIs.

Configure with Your Vonage API Keys

To use this sample you will first need a Vonage account. Once you have your own API credentials, rename the .env.example file to .env and set the values as required.

For some of the examples you will need to buy a number.
