Ruby HTTP post request authorization in header - ruby

Question

I'm trying to write some scripts in Ruby to interface with Guild Wars 2's API (https://api.guildwars2.com/v2)
At the bottom of that page it has this info:
APIs which require authentication need to be passed an API key belonging to
the account to be accessed. The API key must have the appropriate permissions
associated with it (/v2/tokeninfo can be used to inspect key permissions). Keys
can be generated on the ArenaNet account site.
Keys can be passed either via query parameter or HTTP header. Our servers do
not support preflighted CORS requests, so if your application is running
in the user's browser you'll need to user the query parameter.
To pass via query parameter, include "?access_token=" in your request.
To pass via HTTP header, include "Authentication: Bearer (API key)".
The code I'm working with right now is as follows:
class Gw2
attr_reader :response, :uri, :http
def initialize
#uri = URI.parse('https://api.guildwars2.com/v2')
#http = Net::HTTP.new(#uri.host, #uri.port)
#http.use_ssl = true
#http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE
end
def wallet
path ="/v2/account/wallet"
#response = #http.get(path).body
end
end
I'm not sure how to go about setting that up.

Here is a little example:
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
url = URI.parse('http://some.url')
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path)
req.add_field('X-Forwarded-For', '0.0.0.0')
# For content type, you could also use content_type=(type, params={})
# req.set_form_data({'query' => 'search me'})
# req['X-Forwarded-For'] = '0.0.0.0'
res = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port).start do |http|
http.request(req)
end
puts res.body
