require 'faraday_middleware'
require 'json'

connection = Faraday.new 'http://data.austintexas.gov' do |conn|
      conn.request :json
      conn.response :json, :content_type => /\bjson$/
      conn.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
end


response = connection.post do |req|
	req.url '/api/views/INLINE/rows.json?method=getRows&start=0&length=1000'
	#req.options[:method] = 'getRows'
	req.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'
	req.headers['X-App-Token'] = '<insert your app token here>'
	req.body = '{ "originalViewId": "ecmv-9xxi", "name": "Range", "query": { "filterCondition": { "type": "operator", "value": "BETWEEN", "children": [{ 
                    "columnId": 10289371, "type": "column" }, { "type": "literal", "value": "05/01/2012" }, { "type": "literal", "value": "05/03/2012" }]}}}'
end

results = response.body
puts results.count
first = results[0]

puts first['sid']
