I\'ve been trying to use HTTParty in my rails code

Answer 1

You don't need to do 'include HTTParty' inside the Controller. Just remove that and it should work. I just tested it and it worked for me. If this doesn't work for you, you should add the gem to your environment.

Usually if you use a gem inside your Rails application, you should add the following to environment.rb:

config.gem "httparty"

The gem will be available in the application now and you don't need to add 'require' inside the Controller. Also, you don't need to require RubyGems inside a Controller.

When you use Rails 3, you need to put the following inside the Gemfile:

gem "httparty"

I hope it works for you. :)
