API POST with array using HTTP gem

[Brian Watson]

I'm having trouble with this api and can't seem to get over the hump. Using the HTTP gem. Anyway, I'm having trouble posting an array. everything else is good, I just can't figure out this "itemsarray" in the printaura api found here in the addorder method: PrintAura API

I'm running this:

def self.submitorder   
  req = HTTP.post("https://api.printaura.com/api.php", :json => { 
        :key => APIKEY, 
        :hash => APIHASH, 
        :method => "addorder",
        :businessname => "this is a secret too",
        :businesscontact => "thats a secret",
        :email => "m...@email.com",
        :your_order_id => "1",
        :returnlabel => "FakeAddress",
        :clientname => "ShippingName",
        :address1 => "ShippingAddressLine1",
        :address2 => "ShippingAddressLine2",
        :city => "ShippingCity",
        :state => "ShippingState",
        :zip => "ShippingZip",
        :country => "US",
        :customerphone => "dontcallme",
        :shipping_id => "1",
        :items => [ 
           {
             :product_id => 423,
             :brand_id => 33,
             :color_id => 498,
             :size_id => 4,
             :front_print => 1389517,
             :front_mockup => 1390615,
             :quantity => 1
           }
        ]


    })

  puts JSON.parse(req)




end

And my output is this:

{"status"=>false, "error_code"=>19, "result"=>19, "message"=>"You cannot place an order without items, Please fill the items array with all the required information. Full API documentation can be found at https:/www.printaura.com/api/"}

If someone could look at that and help me out I would forever appreciate it!
