This example demonstrates a Ruby scraper that fetches hiking trail data from the Hiking Project API using the `Net::HTTP` and `JSON` libraries, parsing the JSON response to extract trail information. The code constructs a URL with specific latitude, longitude, and API key parameters, then converts the HTTP response into a structured Ruby hash via `JSON.parse`. Although the `scrape_trail_detail` method is defined, it remains empty, indicating that the visualization focuses on the initial API request and data retrieval rather than detailed trail scraping. The example shows how raw JSON data becomes accessible for further processing, highlighting the API integration pattern without displaying any graphical output.
