How to use will_paginate with HTTParty?

Question

If I have a JSON data source (ex: http://marketplace.envato.com/api/edge/new-files:themeforest,site-templates.json), can I use will_paginate for pagination? I use HTTParty for the JSON so it doesn't go through ActiveRecord, that's the problem. How can I use HTTParty together with will_paginate without ActiveRecord?

not clear...yet you can use `will_paginate` for `array` just use `require 'will_paginate/array'` and `array.paginate(:page => 100, :per_page => 10)` — Rajarshi Das, Aug 28 '13 at 06:08
ok.. So I have to convert the JSON to Array first? You gave me an idea. I'll try it. =) — tungsten_carbide, Aug 28 '13 at 06:20
