Use debug_output at the class level:

class Foo
  include HTTParty
  debug_output $stdout
end

or per request

response = HTTParty.post(url, :body => body, :debug_output => $stdout)

Nice, nobody else seems to know how to do it per request – Jaco Pretorius Feb 12 '16 at 15:42

Watch out: If you dig a little deeper into the Net::HTTP library it's based onto, you'll realize this should never be used in production https://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.3.1/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/Net/HTTP.html#method-i-set_debug_output – hatenine Nov 14 '16 at 13:30

So i would recommend: `SomeLogger.info(HTTParty.get(uri, query: parameters).request.last_uri)` – hatenine Nov 15 '16 at 09:17

You ca use a built-in logger:

my_logger = Rails.logger || Logger.new # use what you like
my_logger.info "The default formatter is :apache. The :curl formatter can also be used."
my_logger.info "You can tell which method to call on the logger too. It is info by default."

HTTParty.get "http://google.com", logger: my_logger, log_level: :debug, log_format: :curl

Use the class-level debug_output method to set an output stream where debugging information gets sent.

Is it possible to use `Rails.logger` with `debug_output`? – Vishal Vijay Sep 01 '15 at 18:13

`debug_output Rails.logger` works in Rails 4, but does not work in Rails 3 (apparently the Rails 3 version is missing an implementation for the `<<` operator). – GuyPaddock Sep 30 '15 at 21:32

@VishalVijay: This works in Rails 3, though the format is slightly different than with `debug_output`: `logger Rails.logger, :debug, :curl` – GuyPaddock Sep 30 '15 at 21:54
Thanks. I'll try this – Vishal Vijay Oct 01 '15 at 03:41
