require 'rubygems'
require 'oauth'
require 'xmlsimple'
 
# Create an OAuth Consumer with the appropriate API key and secret.
@consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new("api_key_EUNzNgVkrpFUFg", "api_secret_KBq6hTvjjvqAWOPz6c4WnQHN6jvkU8", { :site=>"https://my-domain.haikulearning.com" })
 
# Create an OAuth Access Token using your personal key and secret.
@access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(@consumer, "token_959b3659b65ddbb6f8552c3401", "secret_40ec1d3617e7f58811c2f1e4416dcf2f7")
 
# In order to retrieve the User resource with an ID of 1 we need to send a GET request.
# Note that sending the User's external_id is not required.
@response = @access_token.get("/do/services/user/1")
 
# Parse the XML response.
@response = XmlSimple.xml_in(@response.body)
 
if @response['status'] == 'ok'
  # If the response from the Haiku LMS API indicates success
  # extract the first user record (only one should have been returned in this case)
  # and display it.
  @user = @response['users'].first['user']
  puts @user.inspect
  # [{
