Warning
I (@ilovetaly am not actively using this gem for any projects (I'm using this python package instead) and do not have time for further maintenance. I'll need monthly sponsors, paid consulting around this gem, or if anyone else wants to help with maintenance, please drop me a note. Apologies!
- This gem will act as a wrapper around the NetSuite SuiteTalk Web Services API.
- The gem does not cover the entire API, only the subset contributors have used so far. Please submit a PR for any functionality that's missing!
- NetSuite is a complex system. There's a lot to learn and sparse resources available to learn from. Here's a list of NetSuite Development Resources.
Join the Slack channel for help with NetSuite issues. Please do not post usage questions as issues in GitHub.
There are some additional helpful resources for NetSuite development listed here.
Before contributing a patch make sure all existing tests pass.
git clone git://github.com/NetSweet/netsuite.git

If you'd like more accurate time conversion support, include the tzinfo gem.
This gem is built for Ruby 2.6.x+, but should work on older versions down to 1.9. There's a 1-8-stable branch for Ruby 1.8.x support.
The most important thing you'll need is your NetSuite account ID. Not sure how to find your account ID? Here's a guide.
How you connect to NetSuite has changed a lot over the years and differs between API versions. For instance:
- Older API versions (~2015) allowed authentication via username and password
- Newer API versions (> 2016) still allowed for username and password authentication, but required an application ID
- "OAuth", which requires four separate keys to be manually generated, was supported sometime after 2015
- API versions greater than 2018_2 require
endpointto be set directly (more info)
Here's an example connection configuration. You don't want to actually use username + password config; Token Based Authentication is detailed in a separate section:
NetSuite.configure do
reset!
# production & sandbox account numbers will differ
account 'TSTDRV1576318'
api_version '2018_2'
# password-based login information
# in most cases you should use Token Based Authentication instead
email '[email protected]'
password 'password'
role 10
# recent API versions require an account-specific endpoint to be set
# use `NetSuite::Utilities.data_center_url('TSTDRV1576318')` to retrieve WSDL URL
# you'll want to do this in a background process and strip the protocol out of the return string
wsdl_domain 'tstdrv1576318.suitetalk.api.netsuite.com'
# the endpoint indicated in the > 2018_2 wsdl is invalid
# you must set the endpoint directly
# https://github.com/NetSweet/netsuite/pull/473
endpoint "https://#{wsdl_domain}/services/NetSuitePort_#{api_version}"
endThe wsdl_domain configuration is most important. Note that if you use wsdl or other configuration options below, you'll want to look at the configuration source to understand more about how the different options interact with each other. Some of the configuration options will mutate the state of other options.
Here's the various options that are are available for configuration:
NetSuite.configure do
reset!
api_version '2018_2'
# optionally specify full WSDL URL (to switch to sandbox, for example)
wsdl "https://webservices.sandbox.netsuite.com/wsdl/v#{api_version}_0/netsuite.wsdl"
# if your datacenter is being switched, you'll have to manually set your WSDL location
wsdl "https://webservices.na2.netsuite.com/wsdl/v#{api_version}_0/netsuite.wsdl"
# or specify the wsdl_domain if you want to specify the datacenter and let the configuration
# construct the full wsdl location - e.g. "https://#{wsdl_domain}/wsdl/v#{api_version}_0/netsuite.wsdl"
wsdl_domain "webservices.na2.netsuite.com"
# often the NetSuite servers will hang which would cause a timeout exception to be raised
# if you don't mind waiting (e.g. processing NS via a background worker), increasing the timeout should fix the issue
read_timeout 100_000
# you can specify a file or file descriptor to send the log output to (defaults to STDOUT)
# If using within a Rails app, consider setting to `Rails.logger` to leverage existing
# application-level log configuration
log File.join(Rails.root, 'log/netsuite.log')
# Defaults to :debug level logging for Savon API calls. Decrease the verbosity
# by setting log_level to `:info`, for example
# log_level :debug
# password-based login information
# in most cases you should use Token Based Authentication instead
email '[email protected]'
password 'password'
account '12345'
role 1111
# optional, ensures that read-only fields don't cause API errors
soap_header 'platformMsgs:preferences' => {
'platformMsgs:ignoreReadOnlyFields' => true,
}
endIf you are using username + password authentication (which you shouldn't be!) and you'd like to use an API endpoint greater than 2015_1, you'll need to specify an application ID:
NetSuite::Configuration.soap_header = {
'platformMsgs:ApplicationInfo' => {
'platformMsgs:applicationId' => 'your-netsuite-app-id'
}
}OAuth credentials are supported and the recommended authentication approach. Learn more about how to set up Token Based Authentication here.

# oauth does not work with API versions less than 2015_2

# the endpoint indicated in the > 2018_2 WSDL is invalid
# you must set the endpoint directly
# https://github.com/NetSweet/netsuite/pull/473
endpoint "https://#{wsdl_domain}/services/NetSuitePort_#{api_version}"
endIf you're interacting with multiple NetSuite accounts, each in separate threads, you can enable multi-tenancy to prevent your configuration and caches from being shared between threads.
From your main thread, you'd want to enable multi-tenancy:
NetSuite.configure do
multi_tentant!
endNote that multi_tenant! is a special configuration option which is not effected by reset!.
Then in each child thread, you'd perform any configuration specific to the NetSuite account you're interacting with for that thread, all of which will be specific to that thread only:
NetSuite.configure do
reset!
account ENV['NETSUITE_ACCOUNT']
