How to send params to a method?

Question

I am trying to make a query to Webmaster Tool api using the Ruby Client.

params = {
  start_date: "2015-01-14",
  end_date: "2015-01-14"
}

AuthWebmastersService.query_search_analytics("http://www.ex.com/", params)

When I'm trying to make that request I get ArgumentError (unknown keywords: start_date, end_date), why is this happening?

Here is the method definition.

It doesn't work as expected, because Ruby converts your hash to keyword arguments, i.e.

query_search_analytics("...", {start_date: "2015-01-14", end_date: "2015-01-14"})

becomes:

query_search_analytics("...", start_date: "2015-01-14", end_date: "2015-01-14")

To get the expected result, you have to append an empty hash:

query_search_analytics("http://www.ex.com/", params, {})
