What does HTTParty::get return?
httparty, json, parsing, ruby
Solution
Do this in the console:
>require 'httparty'
=> true
> response = HTTParty.get( "..." )
....
> response.class
=> HTTParty::Response
So the response from `HTTParty.get` is an `HTTParty::Response` object.
See this blogpost titled "It's Time To HTTParty!" to learn more about how to work this response.
Problem
I'm still new to Ruby and trying to use the HTTParty gem to help me write an API Wrapper. I feed HTTParty::get a URI and it parses JSON data. From a quick glance and the way the returned result behaves, it looks like a Hash, but is it? I can't seem to find information online. Another post on StackOverflow shows to use HTTParty::get(...).parsed_response to get the Hash, but this seems outdated.
