如何使用Faraday gem从Api检索数据

Question

Am trying to access data from Exact Online API Using Faraday Gem and it is returning the status of "401" meaning am not authorized to access that link before I login, but I had already been authenticated and I logged in successfully in a different page.

If I try to access that link individually via the browser URL bar I can see the data.

Here is my controller

 def example1
    @exact_conn = Faraday.new(:url => 'https://start.exactonline.nl') do |data|
      data.request :url_encoded
      data.response :logger
      data.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
    end

   data = @exact_conn.get("/api/v1/{division}/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices"
   @received_data = data.status
  end

my View

<h1>Received Data</h1>
<%= @received_data %>

How can i solve this issue?
Or Is their any other option I can use in order to access that data directly without being authenticated for second time?.

For APIs there is often authentication required on each request in the form of a token passed in your HTTP headers. If that is how this API works, you may try something like:

@exact_conn.get do |req|
  req.url('/api/v1/{division}/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices')
  req.headers['Authorization'] = "Token token=#{your_token_here}"
end
