Saving external JSON to DB with Rails

Question

I\'m making a GET call to an external source using the gem \'httparty\'; here\'s my Controller.rb:

def show
  response = HTTParty.get(\'URI\')
  user = JSON.         


        

Answer 1

Here I am assuming that you have created the uri_id field to store the external id and the name field to store the external name in the user table.

Your Controller code -

def show
  response = HTTParty.get('URI')
  JSON.parse(response).each do |item|
    if (item.id != nil && item.name != nil)
       u = User.new(:uri_id => item.id, :name => item.name)
       u.save
    end
  end
end
