Ruby on Rails - uninitialized constant SiteController::API - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am building a API to a recieve stats for a specific game.
Right now I am able to recieve stats once every time I start my server. After looking up 1 Player I and I'm trying to refresh the page to look up another(right now I am using gets.chomp via console to enter the names) I get the following error:
uninitialized constant SiteController::API
class SiteController < ApplicationController
require_relative '../../lib/api'
def stats
api = API.new(
username: 'someusername',
password: 'somepassword',
token: 'sometoken',
)
puts "Username: "
username = gets.chomp
puts "Platform: "
platform = gets.chomp
#allStats = api.getStats(username, platform)
end
end
api.rb
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
class API
def initialize(auth)
#auth = auth
#Token = getToken['access_token']
end
def TOKEN_URL
'https://antoherlink.com'
end
def EXCHANGE_URL
'https://somelink.com'
end
def LOOKUP_URL(username)
"https://somelink.com{username}"
end
def STATS_URL(id)
"https://somelink.com"
end
def httpGet(url, auth)
uri = URI(url)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
req['Authorization'] = auth
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
http.request(req)
end
JSON.parse(res.body)
end
def httpPost(url, params, auth)
uri = URI(url)
req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
req.set_form_data(params)
req['Authorization'] = auth
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
http.request(req)
end
JSON.parse(res.body)
end
def getToken
params = {
grant_type: 'password',
includePerms: true,
username: #auth[:username],
password: #auth[:password]
}
httpPost(TOKEN_URL(), params, "basic #{#auth[:token]}")
end
def getExchangeCode
httpGet(EXCHANGE_URL(), "bearer #{getToken['access_token']}")['code']
end
def getToken
params = {
grant_type: 'exchange_code',
includePerms: true,
token_type: 'eg1',
exchange_code: getExchangeCode
}
httpPost(TOKEN_URL(), params, "basic #{#auth[:anothertoken]}")
end
def lookup(username)
httpGet(LOOKUP_URL(username), "bearer #{#Token}")
end
def getRawStats(username)
httpGet(STATS_URL(lookup(username)['id']), "bearer #{#Token}")
end
def getStats(username, platform)
result = decodeRawStats(getRawStats(username), platform)
What did I miss?

Try changing:
class SiteController < ApplicationController
require_relative '../../lib/api'
# ...
end
to
require_dependency 'api'
class SiteController < ApplicationController
# ...
end
