HTTParty请求的访问响应

Question

I'm obtaining a token from an external API via HTTParty.

My call looks like this:

token_request = HTTParty.post(@url, body: token_payload.to_json, headers: { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }) 

I receive back the following JSON:

{"token":"TBpdV20Fsdbycgmib2B8ZhasVnRb","expiration_utctimestamp":"23123202226","error_code":0,"error_message":null}

I now want to pass the token value into my next request.

How do I get the "TBpdV20Fsdbycgmib2B8ZhasVnRb" bit into a variable? My guess is this, but doesn't work:

token = token_request[:token]

Thanks

HTTParty contains helper method that returns parsed JSON as a hash (if server responds with appropriate header). So you can access token via:

token = token_request.parsed_response['token']

Another way in this particular case (server does not return application/json header):

token = JSON.parse(token_request.to_s)['token']
