carrot

I am trying to switch from apache to nginx. for my wordpress and vanillaforums setup.
Essentially I need the wordpress rewrite to work correctly with vanilla forums 
rewrite. 

I have gist'd the apache rewrite I'm trying to emulate and 
my current nginx config. 

carrot

get '/user' do
 
  foursquare = Foursquare.new
  response = foursquare.request '/v1/user.json', :get
  result = response.body
  body = JSON.parse(result)
  user = body['user']

  return user['firstname'] # works

carrot

get '/callback' do

  @newuser = Foursquare.prepare_user
  if @newuser.exists?
    redirect '/user'
  else
    User.save
  end

end

carrot

def prepare_user
    foursquare = Foursquare.new      #instatiate 
    response = foursquare.request '/v1/user.json', :get    #api method
    result = response.body  
    body = JSON.parse(result)  
    user = body['user']     #parse response and make user variable
    

   #this is where it gets hairy. how should I construct this hash so that I can easily pull out the uid param for verifification
