How to return value unquoted in Ruby?

I am trying to implement Watson callback function in Ruby on Rails and they say I should omit the quote in the return.

I created get method to return what was received. The url is "http://someurl/api/v1/resoucename/results?somevalue=123123", I return 123123 as "123123"

resource :resoucename do 
   get :results do 
     return params[:somevalue]
   end
end

How can I return a unquoted value?

Watson says: The request includes an Accept header that specifies text/plain as the required response type.

If anyone has an idea how to return as it is, please share with me! Best

If you have "123123" then you have an string, an integer would be unquoted, like:

p "123123"
# => "123123"
p "123123".to_i
# => 123123

So most probably you could "tweak" your method to:

resource :resoucename do 
  get :results do 
    params[:somevalue].to_i
  end
end
