RC Python Quick Start

First of all, create a new folder to hold the project:

mkdir rc-python-quick-start
cd rc-python-quick-start

Then, create a new virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

Activate the virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

You need to run the above command every time you open a new terminal window.

Install the required packages:

pip install ringcentral python-dotenv

Create a new file named .env in the project folder, and add the following content:

RC_CLIENT_ID=xxx
RC_CLIENT_SECRET=yyy
RC_JWT=zzz
RC_SERVER_URL=https://platform.ringcentral.com

You need to replace xxx, yyy, and zzz with your own RingCentral app client ID, client secret, and JWT token.

Create a new file named websocket_quick_start.py in the project folder, and copy paste content from https://developers.ringcentral.com/guide/notifications/websockets/quick-start#python

Run the script:

python websocket_quick_start.py

You should see the script print out:

Upon receiving a new message, you should see the script print out:
