how to format "method" param for OAuth2 API calls in Ruby/RoR?

[Allen]

Hi - I've been trying to migrate my API calls to OAuth2 but I keep getting the response:

{"status"=>"error", "message"=>"You must pass a method name as an HTTP POST parameter named \"method\".", "code"=>400}

I'm using the oauth2 ruby gem (https://github.com/intridea/oauth2/blob/master/lib/oauth2/access_token.rb) and I can't seem figure out the right syntax.  

For example:

response = @access_token.post('/api/1/', {:method => 'search', :query => query, :types => types})

...I just get the error response above

the "post' method I'm using in the gem is:

def post(path, opts={}, &block)
      request(:post, path, opts, &block)
end

I'm obviously not formatting the params correctly.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm not too familiar with Ruby, but it seems that the `opts` hash
needs to be different. Based on the documentation[1], I think you want
something like:

response = @access_token.post('/api/1/', {:body =>
'method=search&query=cher&types=artist'})

You need to pass the parameters in the body of the request. This
library expects a string, so you'll need to convert your hash of
method parameters to a form encoded string.

Hey thanks, Devin! That was it.  Still getting a handle on OAuth2 and didn't realize it had to go into the body.  That did the trick :)
