Undefined Method in HTTParty class

Question

I'm somewhat new to rails and every time I think I'm getting it I hit a wall.

I'm using HTTParty and this API. I am just trying to get a response to show up in my index view to get the lowest level of the api working.

It worked for me in the console but not when I tested it in the API. I'm getting an

undefined method `picture' for Snapshots:Class

error for my index view.

Here is the HTTParty class

class Snapshots
  include HTTParty

  def initialize
    @sitename = "google.com"
  end

  def picture
    response = HTTParty.get("http://api.snapito.com/web/516e011353b62078731712566b01e143f56adf0b/full/diditmatter.herokuapp.com/lists")

    if respone.success?
      response
    end
  end
end

Here is my lists controller

def index
    @it_works = Snapshots.picture

    respond_with(@lists = List.all)
end

And here is list view

<%= @it_works %>


<h1 class="page-header">Projects at a glance</h1> 
<div class="span12 offset2"> 
 <% @lists.each do |list| %> 
  <div class="well row span4">
    <div class="span3">
    </div>  
    <div class="span4">  

What do I seem to be overlooking here?

EDIT

@Benjamin fix worked, but I've come across a problem I'm not sure is related to rails. I'm not sure is I should open another question. But since the context is here and I'm not really even sure how to search this, I have to follow up here.

That instance variable is returning the attached screen shot. Is this related to how I'm calling it from the API I linked to in the first paragraph?

I've never seen this so not to sure where to look or how to approach.

Answer 1

You are treating the picture method as a class method. Change it to this: @it_works = Snapshots.new.picture
