Writing string to file for download Ruby on Rails

I am building an application that makes a lot of API calls. I would like to be able to write the output of each API call to a file and then be able to download that file. So far this is what my controller looks like:

def show
   @resp = Faraday.get("https://my_api_endpoint")
end

How can I write a string to a file and download that file with Ruby on Rails?

Your question is too vague.

You can write to file this way:

File.write(Rails.root.join("PATH_TO_FILE.txt"), @resp.to_s, mode: "a")

But you should attach a file to your model to be able to retrieve it later e.g.

has_one_attached :response_txt
