How do I make a call to an API in Rails? I know the information I’m trying to pull and have the link, I just need to know where it goes

I am building a sample app in Rails and trying to use the API sportmonks. I have installed their gemfile and configured my API token in config/environments.

Rails.application.configure do
  
  Sportmonks.configure do |config|
  config.api_token = "PzyBgl38lvSgBL5D3mwQbKQ2HfXABJLxmxyrBdzQ1Gt90dSoJ3Jjg3dWRqIN"
end
end

Now, I need to be able to figure out how to use a call link to get JSON, or how to access that. I have been looking for information on this for 2 days and haven’t found anything that points me to the next step.

I would like to be able to use that API data to customize a sports webpage displaying scores and player data, but first I just need to find out how to actually make the request from my app and where everything goes.

The link I’m trying to use as a small sample is to pull the basic data from one league, using the link supplied by the site

https://soccer.sportmonks.com/api/v2.0/leagues/501?api_token=MYTOKENHERE=season,

So, where does that link go? I know it calls to the API and returns a JSON that looks like this

{
    "data": {
        "id": 501,
        "active": true,
        "type": "domestic",
        "legacy_id": 66,
        "country_id": 1161,
        "logo_path": "https://cdn.sportmonks.com/images/soccer/leagues/501.png",
        "name": "Premiership",
        "is_cup": false,
        "is_friendly": false,
        "current_season_id": 18369,
        "current_round_id": 247456,
        "current_stage_id": 77453684,
        "live_standings": true,
        "coverage": {
            "predictions": true,
            "topscorer_goals": true,
            "topscorer_assists": true,
            "topscorer_cards": true
        },
        "season": {
            "data": {
                "id": 18369,
                "name": "2021/2022",
                "league_id": 501,
                "is_current_season": true,
                "current_round_id": 247456,
                "current_stage_id": 77453684
            }
        }
    },
    "meta": {
        "plans": [
            {
                "name": "Football Free Plan",
                "features": "Standard",
                "request_limit": "180,60",
                "sport": "Soccer"
            }
        ],
        "sports": [
            {
                "id": 1,
                "name": "Soccer",
                "current": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

But I have zero idea of where that would show up on my Rails app, or how to make that request from it.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.
