GET method with json body

Question

I have to consume methods from an external API provided, and one method is a GET with a json body. I'm making the connection through rails using rest-client gem that makes that job.

I know that RestClient.post accepts json:

RestClient.post "http://example.com/resource", { 'x' => 1 }.to_json, :content_type => :json, :accept => :json

And also for my case works perfectly. But if i change the .post to .get, i get this error:

ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

from bin/rails:4:in `require'

Is there any way in Rails to do a GET with a json body? Or any possible solution to translate a "get with a json body" to something else? Is not necessary to use the rest-client gem, if any one have another solution is welcome too.

Thanks!

Solved:

RestClient.get "http://example.com/resource", params: {'json' => { 'x' => 1 }.to_json},:content_type => :json, :accept => :json
