API endpoint link is working in Postman but not in Ruby on Rails with ActiveResource
I am working on Ruby on Rails application which requires to access an External API via GET requests. The request needs to send some parameters with request. I have used Activeresource gem for accessing API. The API request is working fine in Postman and giving expected records but gives me a 400 error from Rails application.
Following is the code
class PayRunEmploymentHeroBase < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = "https://api.yourpayroll.com.au"
self.user = ENV['EMPLOYMENT_HERO_USERNAME']
self.element_name = ""
self.include_format_in_path = false
self.prefix = "/api/v2/business/:business_id/payrun?$filter=DateFinalised gt datetime':finalised_date'"
end
I am pasting here the details of 400 error while accessing the link from Rails app.
Reloading...
=> true
2.3.0 :006 > PayRunEmploymentHeroBase.find(:all, params: {:business_id => business_id, :finalised_date => finalised_date})

I have also attached a picture here of the outcome from Rails app
Solution
It seems like you are not authenticating with Rails app. And I am sure you have set authentication username/password in Postman.
Set self.password = "password" (use your own password) to PayRunEmploymentHeroBase and it will work.
Update: It's actually your url is not encoded, do this and it will solve the issue:
self.prefix = "/api/v2/business/:business_id/payrun?$filter=" + URI::encode("DateFinalised gt datetime':finalised_date'")
