If what you want is to consume api, I advise you to use better [REST Client – simple DSL for accessing HTTP and REST resources](https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client)

```ruby
require 'rest-client'
require 'json'

endpoint_url = 'https://reqres.in/api/users?page=2'
method_name = 'get'
endpoint_headers = { 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' }

response = RestClient::Request.execute(method: method_name,
                                       url: endpoint_url,
                                       headers: endpoint_headers)
result = JSON.parse(response)
puts result

```
