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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

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 .
