testing rails grape API with curl, params array

Question

I am manually testing my rails application grape API using curl. I would like to send a [1,2,3] array as a request query parameter for to to be accesible like:

p params[:tickets_ids]
=> [1,2,3]

I only found clues how to send something what is interpreted as hash .

I will be grateful for a clue how to post an array using curl.

Thank you for the clue. The answer is to encode query like this:

?&tickets_ids[]=1&tickets_ids[]=2&tickets_ids[]=3

Results in:

p params[:tickets_ids]
=> ["1", "2", "3"]

How would I go about posting an array of arrays? in terms of a curl call? – alexanderkustov Jan 20 '15 at 23:35
