Authentication and Create Post

I am trying to use this JSON-API to create a post for my wordpress site from within a Ruby program.

However, after a get a nonce and make the post call I get this response error:

“error”=>”You need to login with a user that has ‘edit_posts’ capacity.”

How is a user supposed to “login” via a Ruby program? I am using the HTTParty gem for making my REST calls.

Here is the code I am using:

nonce_response = HTTParty.get "http://example.com/?json=get_nonce&controller=posts&method=create_post"
puts nonce_response.code

nonce_info = JSON.parse(nonce_response.body)
puts nonce_info["status"]
puts nonce_info["nonce"]
puts nonce_info.inspect

post_body = {:nonce => nonce_info["nonce"], :status => "draft", :title => "this is only a test", :content => "great content here!",
             :categories => "Test"}

post_response = HTTParty.post( "http://example.com/?json=create_post", :body => post_body)

Thanks for any tips,
