Question

I wonder if it possible to work with HTTParty request results as an object.

Currently I use string keys to access to values of result: result["imageurl"] or result["address"]["street"]

If i were in JavaScript I could simply use: result.imageurl or result.address.street

Answer 1

Use the Mash class of the hashie gem.

tweet = Hashie::Mash.new(
  HTTParty.get("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/public_timeline.json").first
)
tweet.user.screen_name
