Question

First of all, I am using this gemfile here :

https://github.com/ryanwkan/covetous

After initializing

my_profile = Covetous::Profile::Career.new ‘rwk#1242’

I get an array like this

http://pastebin.com/CcW0aaLL

When I try to access it like this

my_profile.heroes, it returns

[{"name"=>"Ziyi", "id"=>10692899, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>87, "gender"=>1, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"wizard", "last-updated"=>1354337248}, {"name"=>"Aerendil", "id"=>5987778, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>0, "gender"=>1, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"demon-hunter", "last-updated"=>1353389408}, {"name"=>"Bubba", "id"=>9177617, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>11, "gender"=>0, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"witch-doctor", "last-updated"=>1352946041}, {"name"=>"Emma", "id"=>7153459, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>0, "gender"=>1, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"monk", "last-updated"=>1347863170}, {"name"=>"Grumbar", "id"=>17793743, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>0, "gender"=>0, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"barbarian", "last-updated"=>1352944313}, {"name"=>"BankerOne", "id"=>12215739, "level"=>1, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>0, "gender"=>1, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"monk", "last-updated"=>1351810350}] 

and if i go 1 step ahead and use my_profile.heroes[0] it returns

{"name"=>"Ziyi", "id"=>10692899, "level"=>60, "hardcore"=>false, "paragonLevel"=>87, "gender"=>1, "dead"=>false, "class"=>"wizard", "last-updated"=>1354337248} 

However, I can’t access further data from the above result.

my_profile.heroes[0].name returns NoMethodError and my_profile.heroes[0][0] returns “nil”

Am I doing it wrong?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It’s a hash; use hash syntax:

my_profile.heroes[0]['name']

Unless something wraps up a hash with accessor methods, it’s just a hash.
