HTTParty giving 401 using http basic authentication

I have two applications. One contains an API (Rails) and the second (Sinatra) is a test application to check if the API is working correctly. In the test application I can get all of the information provided by my API using HTTParty. However, when I try to add http basic authentication in the API application, the test application always gets a 401 error.

In the controller which provides the API I have written 

http_basic_authenticate_with name: "admin", password: "admin"

In my test application I have written

authenticate = {name: "admin", password: "admin"}
options = {query: {username: params[:username], email: params[:email]}, 
         basic_auth: authenticate}
response = HTTParty.get('http://localhost:3000/search.json', options)

What am I doing wrong?

Your key for the username is incorrect:

authenticate = {:username => 'admin', :password => 'admin'}

This should work
