Mid term homework in progress

Hi Shirren,

I'm trying to work on the homework (midterm) however I feel I'm getting behind :S 

I'm attaching the runner.rb file which is the file you helped to work on last Monday, however I got some error msgs which I can't manage to fix.

First, I'm trying to make the API request work (similar to what we did on the mashable api example) with all the methods on the same runner.rb file, however when running it I get the following error:

After having the API request working, I understand I need to put together all "country-related" methods into a class and the runner.rb file should require that class so it can work.

Would you recommend a particular topic/resource I could get into to better understand what am I missing?

Thanks a lot,
