Creating action API with Rails. Do I need to use respond_with

I am trying to figure out the different ways I can create a create action in a Rails API. Here's what I have for my index action (which works) and my current implementation of my create action.

routes.rb file:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  namespace :api do
    namespace :v1 do
      resources :vendors
    end
  end
end

controller:

class Api::V1::SuyasController < ApplicationController
  def index
    render json: Suya.all
  end

  def create
    render json: Suya.create(suyas_params)
  end


  private

  def suyas_params
    require(:suya).permit(:meat, :spicy)
  end
end

Do I need to use respond_with/respond_to? That's abstracted out to the responders.gem. If I don't want to use the responders gem is this the best way to create an api?

As it's API controller which is responsible for only API calls, yes, you should use respond_to and respond_with helper methods as shown below:

class Api::V1::SuyasController < ApplicationController
  respond_to :json

  ...

  def create
    respond_with(Suya.create(suyas_params))
  end

  ...
end
