Quickstart: use the Credicorp public API in Ruby on Rails

Call the API from Ruby on Rails

class CredicorpClient
  BASE = ENV.fetch('CREDICORP_BASE')

  def products
    Rails.cache.fetch('credicorp_products', expires_in: 1.hour) do
      uri = URI("#{BASE}/products")
      res = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)
      raise "Credicorp #{res.code}" unless res.code.to_i < 400
      JSON.parse(res.body)['data']
    end
  end
end

Put the call in a service object, read the base URL from `ENV`, and wrap it in `Rails.cache.fetch` so the catalogue is cached for an hour. Keep controllers thin — they should call the service, not the API.

Point at sandbox in development

Set the base URL to https://sandbox.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in development and CI, and to https://api.credicorp.co.uk/public/v1 in production — driven by the one environment variable your framework already exposes. See choosing a base URL.
