How to map Amazon Products API to Rails? - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm trying to fetch products from the Amazon Products API (using https://github.com/hakanensari/vacuum/) and display them in my Rails app. But how do I bring the product names and photos into my views?
Currently getting:
ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `image' for #<Array:0x88486aec>):
2: <% if #products.any? %>
3: <% #products.each do |product| %>
4: <div class="product">
5: <%= link_to image_tag(product.image.url), product.url %>
6: <%= link_to product.name, product.url %>
7: </div>
8: <% end %>
main_controller.rb:
class MainController < ApplicationController
def index
request = Vacuum.new('GB')
request.configure(
aws_access_key_id: 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST',
aws_secret_access_key: '<long messy key>',
associate_tag: 'lipsum-20'
)
params = {
'SearchIndex' => 'Books',
'Keywords'=> 'Ruby on Rails'
}
#
# NOT SURE WHERE TO TAKE IT FROM HERE
#
raw_products = request.item_search(query: params)
#products = raw_products.to_h
product = OpenStruct.new(#products)
end
end
index.html.erb:
<% if #products.any? %>
<% #products.each do |product| %>
<div class="product">
<%= link_to image_tag(product.image.url), product.url %>
<%= link_to product.name, product.url %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% end %>

Answer 1

You are getting the error because raw_products isn't an array. AS par vacuum documentation, you will either have to convert it to hash by raw_products.to_h or You can also pass the response body into your own parser for some custom XML heavy-lifting:
MyParser.new(raw_products.body)
So you have to first parse the the response properly before consuming it.
You can just do following:
#products = raw_products.to_h
product = OpenStruct.new(#products)
