title: Very Basic Rails 4.1 API Call using HTTParty
body: <p>Relatively new to Rails. I am trying to call an API and it's supposed to return a unique URL to me. I have HTTParty bundled on my app. I have created a UniqueNumber controller and I have read through several HTTParty guides as far as what I want but maybe I'm just a bit lost and really have no idea what to do. </p>
  
  <p>Basically, all I need to do is call the API, get the URL it returns, then insert that URL into the database for a user. Can anyone point me in the right direction or share some code with me?</p>
