  • Using Rest Client for Seeding Database
    2 projects | dev.to | 11 Apr 2021
    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.
