Looking at the docs there aren't any good examples of how to make a POST request. I need to make a POST request with a auth_token
parameter and get a response back:
response = RestClient::Request.execute(method: :post, url: 'http://api.example.com/starthere', payload: '{"auth_token" : "my_token"}', headers: {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"} )
400 bad request error:
RestClient::BadRequest: 400 Bad Request from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rest-client-1.8.0/lib/restclient/abstract_response.rb:74:in `return!' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rest-client-1.8.0/lib/restclient/request.rb:495:in `process_result' from /Users/me/.rbenv/versions/2.2.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/rest-client-1.8.0/lib/me/request.rb:421:in `block in transmit'
Any good examples how to make a POST request using RestClient?
EDIT:
This is how I make the request in the model:
def start response = RestClient::Request.execute(method: :post, url: 'http://api.example.com/starthere', payload: '{"auth_token" : "my_token"}', headers: {"Content-Type" => "text/plain"} ) puts response end
