require 'rest-client'
require 'json'

starting_url = "http://www.reddit.com/.json"
response = RestClient.get(starting_url)
parsed_response = JSON.load(response)

# now you can manipulate parsed_response and see all of the attributes and drill down to see where the things that you want are. Here is what we did:

parsed_response["data"]["children"].first["data"]["title"]

# and if you wanted to convert that to a loop:

parsed_response["data"]["children"].map do |reddit|
  reddit["data"]["title"]
end
