Hi and sorry for the delay.
It's totally possible to interact with Ring via bash or Python. Ring has
a deamon with a dbus interface on linux. You just need to call dbus
commands to do that. For example, long time ago I did a little script to
interact between Ring and IRC.

A wrapper already exists for Python and is in ring-daemon/tools/dringctrl.py
Some commands are missing, but you've got enough to do what you want :)
If you need some help, feel free to answer.

Hi,
I am a newbee as far as Ring is concerned, but active with Linux and
open source for many years.
I have been searching the web for quite some time now, but can't seem
to find any information on
how to use ring form bash.
I am using Xubuntu 18.04.1, and tried out the ring(.cx and daemon)
20180228.1.503da2B~ds-1build1
from the repository, and the ring-kde_3.0.0_x86_64.AppImage.
They work in the gui (XFCE).
I have a small application that allows my old godmother (96 years) to
place a video call by dropping
a fotograph on a plate, which in turn activates a Skype call .
(She can no longer handle a mouse or a keyboard).
But for that I should be able to video call a specific contact
directly from a command line interface.
I am also testing with Linphone and Ekiga (SIP), but encounter quality
problems with the connection
(that is well with Skype).
Could ring provide me the solution ?
I would love it, being an official GNU package and being released
under the GPLv3 licence.
Brgds,
Yvo Brasseur.
