使用 Rails 和 HTTParty 将 JSON 发布到 API

我希望我的 ruby on ails 应用程序的用户能够提交一张票到我的外部票务管理系统 squishlist.com。他们有一个 API 和如下指示。您需要进行身份验证并获得令牌，然后使用令牌提交票据。压缩列表里的。

# get the token


https://api.squishlist.com/auth/?cfg=testcorp&user_key=privatekey&api_key=TEST-KEY-12345
=> {"token": "authtoken",
"expires": "2010-06-16 13:31:56"}


# and then the ticket with the token


https://api.squishlist.com/rest/?cfg=testcorp&token=authtoken&method=squish.issue.submit&prj=demo
POST data: {'issue_type': 1, 'subject': 'Hello, world.', 4: 'Open', 5: 10}

出于测试目的，我创建了一个控制器、路由和视图(页面)来进行测试

require 'httparty'
require 'json'


class SubmitticketController < ApplicationController


def submit_a_ticket


@cfg = 'xxxsupport'
@user_key = '4787fsdbbfbfsdbhbfad5aba91129a3f1ed1b743321f7b'
@api_key = 'MrUser411'
@project = 'excelm-manoke'
@url_new_string = 'https://api.squishlist.com/auth/?cfg='+@cfg+'&user_key='+@user_key+'&api_key='+@api_key
# https://api.squishlist.com/auth/?cfg=xxxsupport&user_key=4787fsdbbfbfsdbhbfad5aba91129a3f1ed1b743321f7b&api_key=MrUser411  - this is what is created by @url_new_string
response =  HTTParty.get(@url_new_string.to_str)  #submit the string to get the token
@parsed_and_a_hash = JSON.parse(response)
@token = @parsed_and_a_hash["token"]




#make a new string with the token


@urlstring_to_post = 'https://api.squishlist.com/rest/?cfg='+@cfg+'&token='+@token+'&method=squish.issue.submit&prj='+@project


#submit and get a result


@result = HTTParty.post(@urlstring_to_post.to_str, :body => {:subject => 'This is the screen name', :issue_type => 'Application Problem', :status => 'Open', :priority => 'Normal', :description => 'This is the description for the problem'})


end


end

然后我有一个页面，我去看看结果的控制器的行动，它有以下代码。

<p><%= @result %></p>

I know that it is working in general because of responses I have received along the way. My json is different from the example because of fields I have defined in squishlist. Can anyone help me out on this issue?

I guess the real problem is that I can't really see what the json looks like and if it is even close to match. I really don't know much about json. Should I be using something that might be easy. Should I be using ajax to submit this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love the community here.
