How would I make the following curl request in ruby?
curl -k -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -H "X-OFFERSDB-API-KEY: demo" 'http://testapi.offersdb.com/distribution/beta/offers?radius=10&postal_code=30305'
I'm having difficulty with some of the headers.
require 'net/http'
url = 'http://testapi.offersdb.com/distribution/beta/offers?radius=10&postal_code=30305'
mykey = 'demo'
request = Net::HTTP.new(url)
request.request_head('/', 'X-OFFERSDB-API-KEY' => mykey)
puts request
I think you need to create a request object, instead of an HTTP object. Then set headers on it.
require 'net/http'
url = 'http://testapi.offersdb.com/distribution/beta/offers?radius=10&postal_code=30305'
mykey = 'demo'
uri = URI(url)
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path)
request['Content-Type'] = 'application/xml'
request['Accept'] = 'application/xml'
request['X-OFFERSDB-API-KEY'] = mykey
response = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host,uri.port) do |http|
http.request(request)
end
puts response
