Configuration

Configuration options may be passed when a new API object is instantiated:

Alternatively, you can pass your Braze REST API key, Braze REST URL, and any required Faraday options to the BrazeRuby::configure method:

BrazeRuby.configure do |config|
  config.rest_api_key = '<braze-rest-api-key>'
  config.rest_url = '<braze-rest-url>'
  config.options = {<additional options>}
end
