Trying to connect to an API for IGDB

I've been trying to connect to an API for a Project in school. I'm currently using Ruby. I'm trying to connect to the API for IGDB and display video games and I just cannot. I've been getting nothing but errors. I have the keys with me, but I just cannot connect to API or even display anything. Any help to be able to help me connect would be greatly appreciated.

require 'net/https'
POST https://api.igdb.com/v4/games
Client_ID = 'Client ID'
Authorization = 'Bearer + Access Token'
http = Net::HTTP.new('api.igdb.com/v4',443)
http.use_ssl = true
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(URI('https://api.igdb.com/v4/games'), {'Client_ID' => 'Client ID', 'Authorization' => 'Bearer access_token'})
request.body = 'fields age_ratings,aggregated_rating,aggregated_rating_count,alternative_names,artworks,bundles,category,checksum,collection,cover,created_at,dlcs,expansions,external_games,first_release_date,follows,franchise,franchises,game_engines,game_modes,genres,hypes,involved_companies,keywords,multiplayer_modes,name,parent_game,platforms,player_perspectives,rating,rating_count,release_dates,screenshots,similar_games,slug,standalone_expansions,status,storyline,summary,tags,themes,total_rating,total_rating_count,updated_at,url,version_parent,version_title,videos,websites;'
puts http.request(request).body

Errors:
