[Rails] Re: Consuming a web service created with Rails, ETL vs Rest?

I don't want any code. The gem suggested to me to use is Activewarehouse-ETL but as far as I know, this gem only allows to manip databases and the administrator for the redmine app clearly said no databases conections because 'I might damage something' so, my question was when consuming a webservice, like redmine API, but without handling databases, is it better to use REST (httparty) or ETL (ActiveWarehouse) and why

That explains the Redmine REST API pretty well.

Have you read the documentation?
What have you tried?
Do you have any specific questions that you need answered?
No I don't have any code to toss your way for you to "customize."

A little preparation before posting to developer forums will get you a
long way, and will reduced the chances of the types of responses that
you see in this thread.
