Question

Hey I am new to Httparty. I can fetch data but have problem posting using Httparty. Anyone who can suggest some good references for that? Thanks a bunch.

Answer 1

There aren’t a lot of references out there for HTTParty. Primarily, the readme and examples in their github repo. You could potentially go through their code to get a feel as well. Here’s a quick example of a post using the HTTParty mixin:

class Emailer
  include HTTParty
  base_uri 'api.emailer.com'

  def send(username, password, to, subject, body)
    options = { username: username, 
                password: password, 
                to: to, 
                subject: subject,
                body: body }
    post('/send', options)
  end
end

While your question was about HTTParty, and I’ve had to use that in the past, I’ve generally liked Typheous better. You may want to take a peek at that. I’m sure there are plenty of other HTTP Clients out there too. Those are the two I’ve worked with, and I’ve tended to prefer Typheous.
