title: Make HTTP request with Elixir and Phoenix
body: <p>I'm a Ruby dev trying to get into elixir. I'm trying to interact with an API in order to learn a little Elixir. I'm basically trying to make an http request. In ruby the thing I'm trying to do would look like this.</p>
  <pre><code>require 'httparty'
  
  
  url = &quot;https://api.sportradar.us/nba/trial/v4/en/games/2016/11/05/schedule.json?api_key={api_key}&quot;
  response = HTTParty.get(url)
  req = response.parsed_response
  </code></pre>
  <p>Pretty straightforward and simple. Now I have a json decoded response that I can use. How can I do this with Elixir and Phoenix?</p>
