can't get a response using Ruby's Net::HTTP with headers

Question

Here's my code:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'net/http'

uri = URI.parse('https://api.lendingclub.com/api/investor/v1/loans/listing')
http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.request_uri)
request.initialize_http_header({'Authorization' => 'exampleQd0ddDKREKgdpeDOKsdfs3434aA='})
request.initialize_http_header({'Accept' => 'application/json'})
request.initialize_http_header({'Content-Type' => 'application/json'})

response = http.request(request)

Here's where I end up:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/protocol.rb:153:in `read_nonblock': end of file reached (EOFError)

Not sure why all the errors are from Frameworks/Ruby. I am just trying to run this from a file (it's a script), not as any part of a website. Bonus points if you can then tell me how to save the response to a file once I get this part of the code working. By the way, I have all this working fine in Python but I am trying to port this to Ruby (which is new for me). Thanks!

Answer 1

Here an example how to do that with a POST

require 'net/http'

http = Net::HTTP.new('nl3.forgeofempires.com')
path = '/game/json?h=c29e13c18d3'
data = [
  %{5a6029226f[{"clientIdentification":{"requiredBackendVersion":"1.17","appType":null,"deviceId":null,"registrationId":null,"platform":"bro","androidDeviceId":null,"platformVersion":"web","clientVersionNumber":"1.17","__class__":"ClientIdentification"}, etc...}]}
]

headers = {
  'Cookie' => cookie,
  "Content-Length" => l,
  'Connection' => 'keep-alive',
  "Origin" => "http://cdn.nl.forgeofempires.com",
  'Referer' => "http://cdn.nl.forgeofempires.com/swf/Preloader.swf?1389689898",
  'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
resp = http.post(path, data, headers)
File.write('response.json', resp.body)

Answer 2

Try with this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'net/http'

uri = URI.parse('https://api.lendingclub.com/api/investor/v1/loans/listing')
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri

res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.host, uri.port,
     :use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https') {|http| http.request request}

request.initialize_http_header({'Authorization' =>    'exampleQd0ddDKREKgdpeDOKsdfs3434aA='})
request.initialize_http_header({'Accept' => 'application/json'})
request.initialize_http_header({'Content-Type' => 'application/json'})

response = res.request(request)

If you want to write the response into a file

File.write('filename', response)
