Basically you need HTTP client library to make http request and get response

You can use any of available ruby libraries/gems

1. faraday
2. httpclient
3. httparty

I ordered by my preference. More libraries found here https://www.ruby-toolbox.com/categories/http_clients.html

You can find the usages here https://github.com/BoTreeConsultingTeam/magpress where I used faraday
