Maybe it's just me, but for something like this I'd prefer a
configuration file over the use of environment variables.  Perhaps you
could add some functionality for falling back on configuration files if
the specified environment variables are not set.

In your requestXML variable, you might want to think about using %Q for
quoting instead of double quotes so you will not have to escape the
double quotes in the content of the string.  You can use braces even
though you have brace-delimited code interpolated within your string:

    irb
    >> foo = 'foo'
    => "foo"
    >> bar = %Q{The value of foo is "#{foo}".}
    => "The value of foo is \"foo\"."

Good job using a friendly license and including file indicating the
license for the project (the LICENSE file, in this case).  It seems like
many people forget to do that.

Are you planning to add more functionality to the API in the future?
