POST JSON to API using Rails and HTTParty

I solved this by adding .to_json and some heading information @result = HTTParty.post(@urlstring_to_post.to_str, :body => { :subject => ‘This is the screen name’, :issue_type => ‘Application Problem’, :status => ‘Open’, :priority => ‘Normal’, :description => ‘This is the description for the problem’ }.to_json, :headers => { ‘Content-Type’ => ‘application/json’ } )
