Rendering HTML instead of JSON: Ruby on Rails

Question

I have an API that I am trying to call from a method within my application. Even though I am calling the API using the json format, and I am setting the respond_to to JSON, it still renders as HTML.

This is the method in the controller:

def index
  @moviedetails = Moviedetail.all
  respond_to :json
end

This is the API call from the method

def self.searchHighestRating()
  url="https://ruby-rsudding.c9users.io/moviedetails.json"
  response = HTTParty.get(url)
  responsebody = JSON.parse(response.body)
  return responsebody
end

Any thoughts around how I could resolve this?

Answer 1

将render json：放入并确保答案实际上是在json中返回的
