The RingCentral Python SDK provides a convenient way to interact with the RingCentral API, simplifying authentication, request signing, and API call execution. It is currently at version 0.9.2 and follows a semi-regular release cadence, often bundling bug fixes and minor feature enhancements.
pip install ringcentralVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart initializes the RingCentral SDK using environment variables for credentials (client ID, client secret, server URL, username, password). It then performs a login using the password flow and fetches basic account information, finally logging out. Remember to replace placeholder values or set environment variables.
Consult the GitHub releases and changelog for specific migration steps before upgrading. Test new versions thoroughly in a development environment.
Ensure `RINGCENTRAL_SERVER_URL` is set correctly: `https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com` for sandbox and `https://platform.ringcentral.com` for production. Match your credentials to the correct environment.
For long-running applications, reuse the `platform` object returned by `rcsdk.platform()`. If implementing custom token management, ensure you handle `RestException` for 401 Unauthorized errors and re-authenticate or refresh tokens.
Always use the full `/restapi/vX.Y/` path segment in your API calls. Monitor RingCentral API documentation for upcoming version changes and ensure your code is compatible.
Check your RingCentral application's permissions/scopes in the Developer Portal. For user authorization, ensure the user has the necessary roles/permissions assigned within RingCentral to perform the action.
Review the RingCentral API documentation for the specific endpoint you are calling to ensure all required parameters are present and correctly formatted (e.g., JSON structure, data types). Print the request body before sending for debugging.
Ensure the library is installed: `pip install ringcentral`. If already installed, upgrade to the latest version: `pip install --upgrade ringcentral`. If you intend to use an older `RestClient` interface, import that instead or migrate to the `SDK` class.
