What is wrong with this ruby code?

I get a "400 Bad Request" and "Did you forget the body variable?" Code:

require "rest-client"
require "json"

# This is the ID that you copied down in the last exercise
your_folder_id = "816582409"

# Add the "body" variable here
body = { "description" => "I made this on Codecademy!"
} 

response = RestClient.put(
"https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/#{816582409}",
JSON.generate(body),
:authorization => "Bearer" << "AKGEp7MoDfLAKnMyxTt3nSNtohXW3bt1"
)

JSON.parse(response.body)["description"]

"https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/#{816582409}" evaluates to "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/" due to string interpolation. As ararog suggests, put the variable itself in: #{@your_folder_id} or the plain number, not #{816582409}

The url of api call shouldn't be https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/816582409 or "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/#{@your_folder_id}" ?

You are missing a space between Bearer and nonsense. You have something like:

response = RestClient.put(
"https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/#{816582409}", 
JSON.generate(body),
:authorization => "Bearer " << "AKGEp7MoDfLAKnMyxTt3nSNtohXW3bt1"
)
