Request curl in ruby

Question

How can 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 headlines.

 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 

Answer 1

I think you need to create a request object, not an HTTP object. Then set the 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
