如何使用 HTTParty on Rails 使用 XML 数据体发出 POST 请求

Question

I'm currently trying to make an api call to a server which just accepts my data in form of an xml. I tried calling the service from postman and it works like a charm.

curl -v -X POST -H "x-apiKey: 83202136355d1704350fb3ef596ac126" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d '<Request LanguageCode="en" emailAddress="your email" mobileNumber="+4477....." gate="212" boardingHHMM="18:40" departHHMM="19:10" arriveHHMM="20:30" ffMiles="" DepartTerminal="Term 2" ffTier="" message="Sample" CabinName="Economy" > <Barcode firstName="Arie" lastName="van der Veek" title="MR" bookingRef="PNR123" depAirportCode="AMS" arrAirportCode="CDG" carrier="XS" flightNumber="56" depDate="2015-06-06" classCode="Y" seatNumber="21B" seqNumber="002" ffAirline="ZZ" ffNumber="123456789" ticketNumber="000123456789012" issuingCarrier="ZZ" /> </Request>' "https://dev2dbp.api.aero/api/ZZ"

Now I tried to implement this api call in Ruby on Rails using the following code, but sadly I'm getting an ERROR 500 everytime.

class FlightTicketController < ApplicationController

#  get 'flight_ticket/get_ticket'
def get_ticket
    response = HTTParty.post(
    "https://dev2dbp.api.aero/api/ZZ",
    :headers => {"x-apiKey" => "83202136355d1704350fb3ef596ac126","Content-Type" => "application/xml"},
    :body => '<Request LanguageCode="en" emailAddress="your email" mobileNumber="+4477....." gate="212" boardingHHMM="18:40" departHHMM="19:10" arriveHHMM="20:30" ffMiles="" DepartTerminal="Term 2" ffTier="" message="Sample" CabinName="Economy" > <Barcode firstName="Arie" lastName="van der Veek" title="MR" bookingRef="PNR123" depAirportCode="AMS" arrAirportCode="CDG" carrier="XS" flightNumber="56" depDate="2015-06-06" classCode="Y" seatNumber="21B" seqNumber="002" ffAirline="ZZ" ffNumber="123456789" ticketNumber="000123456789012" issuingCarrier="ZZ" /> </Request>' 
)

render xml: response
  end


end

Do you have any tips to make this work?

Answer 1

I assume that the 500 error code is from your controller and not from the API call. If you check the log files you will see more details. I'm taking a guess:

You are handing a HTTP Response to render but ask it to render it as XML.

Try

render xml: response.body

instead.

Answer 2

Maybe putting instruct tag at top of body can work,

:body => '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Request LanguageCode="en"...

Hope it helps
