hi
I have a controller and action but my action don’t render any thing .it just send some json to some where.
my routs.rb :
```plaintext
get 'recom/recom'
resources :recom do
member do
get 'recom/req'
end
end
```
and my recom controller:
```plaintext
def index
render('recom/recom')
end
def req
require 'net/http'
require 'json'
uri = URI("http://80.85.203.33:321/ingest?id=1122&url=%27t54646%27");
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri);
res = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port) do |http|
http.request(req);
end
end
```
and my error is:
The action ‘show’ could not be found for RecomController
and when I put show function without render it says it couldn’t run blank template.
when I put render inside of req function .It works fine but I don’t want to render any thing I just want to run a code on every request sent to controller

It sounds like you probably don’t want to be using controller actions then. Controllers are typically middlemen between models and views. Hence they’re expecting you to render _something_, whether that’s html, json or just plain headers.
Have you fully read up on [Routes](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html) and [Controllers](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_controller_overview.html)?
Also, is there a particular reason why you’re defining **recom** as a resource and then using a member route? This will attempt to use the **recom** controller and whatever action is after **get** , in this case ‘recom/req’ which I’m not sure is valid but I may be wrong. It be might be trying to default to the **show** action hence your error.
If you just wanted to provide a path just for the **req** action you could just use
`get 'recom/req', to: 'recom#req'`
Anyway, what relevance does this have to Discourse? 🤔
