The data you are getting back from the API is XML instead of JSON. So there is no way for you to parse that as JSON because the data formats are totally different.

You need to go back and check to see if the API is able to respond with JSON or if they make you request JSON in the Content-Type header. If they are able to respond with JSON, then make your Content-Type header "application/json"

Edit:

I found a question that answers your comment on how to convert xml into json.

The API will only return an xml response, how can I convert that into json object
you will need to parse it using a ruby XML parser into a ruby type, then if you want to convert it from there you have to json encode it
