Rails Model.find() not returning information (returns hash)

I'm using Postgresql and I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but calling my database in my

helper.rb:

def get_info
    info = Scraper.find(1)
    puts info
end

in my controller.rb via a post request, like such:

def create
    helpers.get_info
end

is returning 

#<Scraper:0x00007f96f9738ce0>

As opposed to the actual information from my database:

<Scraper id: 1, restaurant: => "subway">

Modify following code

def get_info
    info = Scraper.find(1)
    puts info
end

as

def get_info
   Scraper.find(1)
end

This will work, no need to use puts info or even if you want to use puts then you can use

puts info.inspect

puts prints class and Object Id for complex object. To print details about object, you can use inspect:

puts info.inspect

puts info.inspect

I suggest you to read the ruby on rails documentation
