Ramp Reference Architecture

Overview

Implementation patterns for Ramp reference architecture using the Developer API with OAuth2 authentication.

Prerequisites

  • Completed ramp-install-auth setup

Instructions

Step 1: API Call Pattern

import os, requests

# Obtain token
token_resp = requests.post(f"{os.environ['RAMP_BASE_URL'].replace('/v1','')}/v1/token", data={
    "grant_type": "client_credentials",
    "client_id": os.environ["RAMP_CLIENT_ID"],
    "client_secret": os.environ["RAMP_CLIENT_SECRET"],
})
access_token = token_resp.json()["access_token"]
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}

cards = requests.get(f"{os.environ['RAMP_BASE_URL']}/cards", headers=headers)
print(f"Cards: {len(cards.json()['data'])}")

Output

  • Ramp API integration for reference architecture

Error Handling

Error Cause Solution
401 Unauthorized Expired token Re-authenticate
429 Rate Limited Too many requests Implement backoff
403 Forbidden Insufficient permissions Check API app permissions
