Using Rest Client for Seeding Database
The Met has a really robust API of their collection - over 470,000 distinct objects! Talk about a lot of data! I needed to figure out how to get at least a sampling of this data into my backend API. I found just what I was looking for in RestClient. In theory it is super easy to use and I will give a few quick steps below. I say in theory because I think it depends on how well set up the API is that you are pulling your data from. If you are wondering, the Met's was really easy sometimes and really hard others - some of the art objects were missing attributes that I wanted to pull so I had hand hold my seed file during some of the departments. For brevity sake, I will use one of the easier bit of data to pull - the Met's list of departments. (seeding the art objects themselves was another story all together!)

I am considering to use the rest-client gem, because many of my call need nested data. But I actually don't think they support the structure Microsoft are using for their "rest" api.

Best Ruby HTTP Clients in 2023
In fact, because the metric is clearly "number of stars", it suggests you two libraries which are either not maintained in almost 3 years, or that haven't had a release in 3 years and a commit in 10 months, despite both of them having a buttload of open issues.

The Best Ruby HTTP clients for 2021
Have you had a play with typhoeus by any chance? It's a wrapper over libcurl, so you get OS threads for free - which is kind of nice.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing RESTClient and Typhoeus you can also consider the following projects:
Faraday - Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for multiple backends.
Http Client - 'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.
httparty - :tada: Makes http fun again!
excon - Usable, fast, simple HTTP 1.1 for Ruby
Patron - Ruby HTTP client based on libcurl
Unirest - Unirest in Ruby: Simplified, lightweight HTTP client library.
HTTP - HTTP (The Gem! a.k.a. http.rb) - a fast Ruby HTTP client with a chainable API, streaming support, and timeouts
Savon - Heavy metal SOAP client
