An overview of RingCentral SDK

2. In all the previous blogs here we seen different RingCentral APIs that
are used to send different communication messages over cloud in
different form like SMS, Fax or Call etc.
RingCentral exposes all it's different communication functionalities via
different APIs which can be consumed by different applications
integrated into it and this integration can happened between different
platform or application developed through different programming
languages.

3. In simple words, any application, either a standalone running with Java
or a web application created with PHP or JavaScript can use these
RingCentral APIs for different functionalities .
For example, A Java application can send SMS to different production
support team via these RingCentral SMS API during a production
downtime or outage.

4. RingCentral API uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to protect all it's API with
authentication and authorization.
RingCentral also provides official SDK (Software development Kit) for
different languages like Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript etc to use their
features in application code. It also has methods to handle the
authorization part.

5. The SDKs package of RingCentral APIs has easy-to-use libraries for each
programming language. It has the ability to handle all interaction with
the RingCentral API using existing methods provided in the SDKs,
without much info about lower level details of the API communication
itself.

6. The SDK also provides benefits such as:
• It automatically handles token lifecycle procedures
• Re-issues non-authorized requests
• Ability to parses multipart API responses
• Provides a broad variety of helper functions to work with API requests
and responses

7. Below are some official and community resources link useful for
someone to start with RingCentral :
• PHP SDK is here
• For Python programmers should look here
• JavaScript SDK with the JS Developer Guide here
• Ruby SDK can be found here

8. As we can see there are different SDK, KITs and library already available
by RingCentral to use.
It provides a lot of freedom to the developers from different
programming languages and background to use and integrate these
awesome features of RingCentral allowing you much more flexibility as
the APIs are independent to development platform .
