json data changed in the params

This is a webhook activity I am trying do using postman. The post content is the below json.

 {
   "model":{
      "id":"560a32d2a1dcb7902a7ad596",
      "name":"cool features",
      "pos":32767.5
   },
   "action":{
      "id":"567537b94332a7d8489a0d26",
      "idMemberCreator":"55024f3fdd60428e915d2c2b",
      "data":{
         "board":{
            "shortLink":"SUDki3AR",
            "name":"recipe",
            "id":"560a31fad96886a87cabf39a"
         },
         "list":{
            "name":"cool features",
            "id":"560a32d2a1dcb7902a7ad596"
         },
         "card":{
            "shortLink":"sufSA867",
            "idShort":18,
            "name":"added",
            "id":"567537b94332a7d8489a0d25"
         }
      },
      "type":"createCard",
      "date":"2015-12-19T10:55:53.904Z",

   }
}

rails strips away the action key value from params. I can only get it using request.raw_post . But it is a string . Is there a way to get the action value in the json in params? String manipulation would be very difficult.

Rails sets the params controller and action on every request, so it overwrites your action.

As you already found out, you can get the request string and as you know it's json, you can parse it (by the way: your json is invalid, an extra , after date):

action = JSON.parse(request.raw_post)['action']
