+# SmoothCode Client Ruby
+
+## Introduction
+Ruby Client that exposes utility functions to authenticate SmoothCode requests
+
+## Installation
+```shell
+gem install smoothcode
+```
+
+## Usage
+This library exposes 2 methods
+* `dashboard_request?(shop)` - This method verifies if the request for accessing the dashboard is coming from `SmoothCode`
+```ruby
+require 'smoothcode'
+
+# SmoothCode sends query parameters to the URL
+# shop -> Shopify Shop in the form: `test.myshopify.com`
+# hmac -> HMAC of the shop signed by your App Client Secret (can be obtained from SmoothCode Dashboard in App Settings)
+
+SmoothCodeAuth.new(request_hmac, client_secret).dashboard_request?(shop) # returns True if the request is valid
+```
+
+* `webhook_request?(webhook_data)` - This method verifies if the webhook request is coming from `SmoothCode`
+```ruby
+require 'smoothcode'
+
+# SmoothCode sends hmac in the Authorization Header of the request
+# It is hmac of the webhook data signed by your App Client Secret
+
+SmoothCodeAuth.new(request_hmac, client_secret).webhook_request?(webhook_data) # returns True if the request is valid
+```
