Turning JSON keys into symbols

I'm really new to the API topic. I've displayed the JSON from API, read a ton of docs and I understand the idea of how to convert JSON keys into ruby symbols but I do not understand how to actually do it. I tried...

1) a way using Faraday.
2) using JSON.parse
3) using symbolize_keys: true

...and other stuff.

What my code looks like now. I also commented what way I tried, so you can see.

class ProductsController < ApplicationController

require 'json'

  def index
    @products = Product.find(:all)   # GET 'http://api.example.com/store/products.json'

    products = Faraday.new(:url => 'http://api.example.com') do |faraday|
     faraday.request :url_encoded
     faraday.response :logger
     faraday.adapter Faraday.default_adapter
    end

   #GET

    response = products.get '/store/products.json'
    response.body

    products.get '/store', { :name => 'Koala' }

    # @products = JSON.parse(@products, symbolize_keys: true)

  end
end

Output currently is just a JSON string. How can I parse this?

HTML

= @products.each do |product|
    tr
      td = product.name
      td = product.price

Use symbolize_names not symbolize_keys. symbolize_keys is a Rails method.

Here is how:

JSON.parse(@products, symbolize_names: true)
