Im having an openuri issue when in production. The code below works in development but when in production the unauthorized error comes up. The only way i've solved this is if i put the api key directly in the url, which obviously i dont want to do. Any ideas why my current code doesnt work?
api_key = ENV["NEWS_API"]
url = "https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?sources=techcrunch&apiKey=#{api_key}"
article_serialized = open(url).read
@articles = JSON.parse(article_serialized)2018-10-25T01:55:47.184856+00:00 app[web.1]: F, [2018-10-25T01:55:47.184804 #4] FATAL -- : [40a7ee38-ef6e-4622-ad86-edb34d7eeccf] OpenURI::HTTPError (401 Unauthorized):Running rails db:migrate on ⬢ twittter-clone... up, run.6483 (Free)
