How to get the responses of an API call (shopify)?

I've been using rails for about a week and have found numerous good tutorials but haven't found any info for my current problem. I have a webshop running and can access it via the shopify console:

      ShopifyAPI::Customer.find(674469828)
      -> will return the customer with the id 674469828

If I use the same code in my rails app nothing happens. I would like to get the error message of this API call and have no idea how to do this. I mean I'm sending a POST request to the service and am getting a response (HTTP/1.1 200 OK for example).
How can I "catch" the http response in my code? How can I display the response header? I could use simple http requests and get the responses easily but if there's an API, why not use it.
I'd be thankful for any help.

Assuming you have set up your app with API credentials etc, you can "catch" the response by assigning it to a variable, like so:

customer = ShopifyAPI::Customer.find(674469828)
# now we can play around with the customer object

customer.name # => "Jimmy"

If this doesn't help / is missing the point, please post a specific error message or server output that you are getting along with the specific request you made.
