interact with external API (rails course)

so far you have the course of Build rails API, this course teaches how to build an API in our rails app, but would be nice too how to interact with third party API from our rails app, how to make the requests, and all that, maybe a course integrating a service to rails app would be great.

I suggest to start consuming APIs from Rails with the client gem HTTParty and choose a popular service (like Twitter of Flickr) that have a great documentation about their APIs.
