Faraday Authorization Header

Question

I am trying to make a request to the Spingo API. I have made a successful request using Curl, but am trying to use the Faraday gem.

The successful curl request looks like this:

curl -v --url "calendarapi.spingo.com/v1/events?sections=42336"  --header 'Authorization: SpingoAPI token="my-api-key"'

Inititially I tried tried using the default adapter net-http. Then I switched to the Typheous adapter because net-http was capitalizing my SpingoAPI scheme in the Authorization header. This made it read Spingoapi. Now my request looks like this:

  def make_request
      conn = Faraday.new(base_url) do |f|
          f.params['sections'] = '42336'
          f.adapter :typhoeus
          f.use Faraday::Response::Logger
      end
      conn.authorization(:SpingoAPI, token: api_key)
      conn.get
  end

Switching to Typheous allowed something to return (I wasn't getting anything back from net-http) So my response looks like this.

ETHON: performed EASY effective_url=url
sections=42336 response_code=200 return_code=ok total_time=0.844381

This leads me to believe that I am not being authorized, however I am out of ideas on how to pass in the authorization differently.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try this :

# set variables
base_url = "calendarapi.spingo.com"
url = "/v1/events"
token = "SpingoAPI token='my-api-key'"
params = {:sections => 42336}


# init connection object
connection = Faraday.new(:url => base_url) do |c|
   c.use Faraday::Request::UrlEncoded
   c.use Faraday::Response::Logger
   c.use Faraday::Adapter::NetHttp
end

# send request
response = connection.get url, params do |request|
  request.headers["Authorization"] = token
end
