Ruby on Rails - Combine several JSONs from api call - json

Question

In my application, I need to do API-call to a client in order to get information about a product (I do it by giving product_id).
Their API only allows 1 ID at a time which would make the job many times harder.
what have in mind is to run the API-call several times and add the results to the view.
I did a small test with merging 2 JSON together, which worked fine. Example:
#products = data_1['data'] + data_2['data']
This was, of course, doing them by hand and simple. What I thought I could do was to do an each do on them and run the code, as below:
### CONTROLLER
product_id = Array(params[:product_id].split(','))
product_id.each do |id|
uri = URI.parse("https://website.com/api?product_id=#{id}")
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
request["Accept"] = "application/json"
req_options = { use_ssl: uri.scheme == "https", }
response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, req_options) do |http|
http.request(request)
end
data = JSON.parse(response.body)
#products = data['data']
end
### VIEW
- #products.each do |product|
%p= product.name
%p= product.date
This doesn't give me any error, but in my view, I only see details for last product_id param. Same with if I move #products = data['data'] out of the each do.
In a desperate attempt, I also tried with this with no luck:
#products = id.as_json.merge(data['data'])
Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

The answer was much closer to what I had in mind. I need to run map on the variable itself, like below:
### CONTROLLER
product_id = Array(params[:product_id].split(','))
#products = product_id.map { |id|
request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
request["Accept"] = "application/json"
req_options = { use_ssl: uri.scheme == "https", }
response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, req_options) do |http|
http.request(request)
end
data = JSON.parse(response.body)
data['data']
}
hope it helps someone :)
