get the values from json in URLSession in Swift - ios

I am developing an using the JSON .So i am new to this field.
I need to get the values from the url and the pattern is as below mention:-
{Data:[{name:RAHUL,place:WORLD,location:[{city:WORLD}]},{},{},{}],mata:{},link:{}}
I need the "Data" value as the pattern array.That is i need to get the Data values seperate. How to get the values name and city values from this

Try this way:
let sessionConfig = URLSessionConfiguration.default
// Create session, and optionally set a URLSessionDelegate
let session = URLSession(configuration: sessionConfig, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil)
// Create request
guard let URL = URL(string: "YOUR_URL_HERE") else { return }
let request = URLRequest(url: URL)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, err) in
if (err == nil) {
// Success
let statusCode = (response as! HTTPURLResponse).statusCode
print("URL Session Task Succeeded: HTTP \(statusCode)")
if let data = data {
do {
let jsonResult = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .mutableContainers)
// Parse JSON data
if let json = jsonResult as? [String:Any],
let dataArr = json["Data"] as? [[String:Any]] {
for item in dataArr {
let name = item["name"] as! String
// AND SO ON PARSE ANOTHER FIELDS
}
}
} catch let err {
print(err)
}
}
} else {
// Failure
print("URL Session Task Failed: \(err!.localizedDescription)")
}
}
task.resume()
session.finishTasksAndInvalidate()

URLSession parameters must be valid

This is the Url I am requesting for :
https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&api_key=u3vl3sxdva2cch7jjyrnynvwlhjycjrizhcsgmmq
If you run this on browser, it works fine and gives a JSON response. However I get this error in the catch block on running the following code : URLSession parameters must be valid :
let callURL = URL.init(string: urlString) // urlString is the above url
var request = URLRequest.init(url: callURL!)
request.addValue(ContentType_ApplicationJson, forHTTPHeaderField: HTTPHeaderField_ContentType)
request.httpMethod = HTTPMethod_Get
let dataTask = urlSession.dataTask(with: request) { (data,response,error) in
if error != nil{
completion(nil)
return
}
do {
if let resultJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? NSDictionary{
print("Result",resultJson)
if let news = resultJson.value(forKeyPath: "articles") as? [NSDictionary]{
print("News",news)
completion(news)
return
}
}
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
dataTask.resume()
I am not sure what is wrong in your code but I have tested your above code in playground I am getting news below is the code
import Foundation
import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport
PlaygroundPage.current.needsIndefiniteExecution = true
let urlString = "https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&api_key=u3vl3sxdva2cch7jjyrnynvwlhjycjrizhcsgmmq"
let callURL = URL.init(string: urlString) // urlString is the above url
var request = URLRequest.init(url: callURL!)
request.addValue("Content-Type", forHTTPHeaderField: "application/json")
request.httpMethod = "GET"
let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data,response,error) in
let res = response as! HTTPURLResponse
print(res)
if error != nil{
print(error!)
return
}
do {
if let resultJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? NSDictionary{
print("Result",resultJson)
if let news = resultJson.value(forKeyPath: "articles") as? [NSDictionary]{
print("News",news)
return
}
}
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
dataTask.resume()
This worked with me
let callURL = URL.init(string: "https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&api_key=u3vl3sxdva2cch7jjyrnynvwlhjycjrizhcsgmmq") // urlString is the above url
var request = URLRequest.init(url: callURL!)
request.httpMethod = HTTPMethod.get.rawValue
let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data,response,error) in
if error != nil{
print(error)
}
do {
if let resultJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? NSDictionary{
print("Result",resultJson)
if let news = resultJson.value(forKeyPath: "articles") as? [NSDictionary]{
print("News",news)
return
}
}
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
dataTask.resume()
You don't need an URLRequest for a GET request, it's the default, just pass the URL
This works, however there is no value for key articles
let urlString = "https://api.rss2json.com/v1/api.json?rss_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&api_key=u3vl3sxdva2cch7jjyrnynvwlhjycjrizhcsgmmq"
let callURL = URL(string: urlString)!
let dataTask = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: callURL) { (data,response,error) in
if error != nil { return }
do {
if let resultJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!) as? [String:Any] {
print("Result",resultJson)
// if let news = resultJson["articles"] as? [[String:Any]] {
// print("News",news.count)
// return
// }
}
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
dataTask.resume()
And – as always – do not use NSDictionary and valueForKey in Swift and .allowFragments is pointless if the root object is a collection type.

error at getting image from url?

let defaultConfiguration = URLSessionConfiguration.default

if var dataDictionary = resultJson {
// dataDictionary["access_token"] as AnyObject
self.dataArray = dataDictionary["articles"] as! [Any]
var dataDictionary22 = self.dataArray[0] as! [String: Any] as [String : AnyObject]
let url = URL(string:
"\(String(describing: dataDictionary22["urlToImage"]!))")
print("url -> \(String(describing: url!))")

i am trying to get news updates from open api through nsurlsession and it has dictionary->array->dictionary->at key "urlToImage"
but iam getting url like http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/8968140-1x1-700x700.jpg but not getting image file in data it was empty can any one minimige the code lenth and solve my problem
Using this piece of code, you can parse that specific URL response successfully, I have tested it in a Playground.
This: "\(String(describing: dataDictionary22["urlToImage"]!))" is not the way get a String from an AnyObject, you should use conditional casting.
if let url = URL(string: "https://newsapi.org/v1/articles?source=abc-news-au&sortBy=top&apiKey=47d2ce48babd47b1bc391b426b89ca23"){
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
guard error == nil, let data = data else {
print(error!);return
}
guard let resultJson = (try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data)) as? [String:Any] else {
return
}
print(resultJson)
guard let articles = resultJson["articles"] as? [[String:Any]], let firstArticle = articles.first else { return }
guard let imageUrlString = firstArticle["urlToImage"] as? String, let imageUrl = URL(string: imageUrlString) else { return }
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: imageUrl, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
guard error == nil, let data = data else {
print(error!);return
}
let image = UIImage(data: data)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.imageView.image = image
}
}).resume()
}).resume()
}
If you want to get all article pictures (in your question you were only parsing the first one), just change guard let articles = resultJson["articles"] as? [[String:Any]], let firstArticle = articles.first else { return } to the following:
for article in articles {
guard let imageUrlString = article["urlToImage"] as? String, let imageUrl = URL(string: imageUrlString) else { return }
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: imageUrl, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
guard error == nil, let data = data else {
print(error!);return
}
let image = UIImage(data: data)
//use the image
}).resume()
}

HTTP request in swift 3 Xcode 8.3

I am getting stuck with HTTP request.it did not show any error.compiler reads the first two lines and skip the code to "task.resume()".i am fetching data with same code on other view controller but it creats problem here
func getCustomers()
{
let url = NSURL(string: "myURL.com")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url! as URL) {
(data, response, error) in
guard let _:Data = data, let _:URLResponse = response , error == nil else {
print("error: \(String(describing: error))")
return
}
do
{
self.getcustomersArray = [GetCustomers]()
//JSON Parsing
if let data = data,
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any]
{
let results = json["Result"] as? [[String : Any]]
let getCustomersObject:GetCustomers = GetCustomers()
for result in results!
{
getCustomersObject.ActivityPrefix = (result["ActivityPrefix"] as? String)!
getCustomersObject.CustomerID = (result["CustomerID"] as? String)!
getCustomersObject.CustomerName = (result["CustomerName"] as? String)!
getCustomersObject.TFMCustomerID = (result["TFMCustomerID"] as? String)!
getCustomersObject.ShortName = (result["ShortName"] as? String)!
getCustomersObject.UserRights = (result["UserRights"] as? Int)!
self.totalCustomers += self.totalCustomers
}
self.customerName = getCustomersObject.CustomerName
}
}//end Do
catch
{
}
}
task.resume()
}
Using Block GET/POST/PUT/DELETE:
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: URL(string: "Your API URL here" ,param: param))!,
cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy,
timeoutInterval:"Your request timeout time in Seconds")
request.httpMethod = "GET"
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers as? [String : String]
let session = URLSession.shared
let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {data,response,error in
let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
if (error != nil) {
print(error)
} else {
print(httpResponse)
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
//Update your UI here
}
}
dataTask.resume()
I think you dont mention line
request.httpMethod = "GET"

data is not coming JSON parsing

let url1 = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: url1)!)
request.httpMethod = "GET"
let urlSession = URLSession.shared
let task = urlSession.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: {(data,response,error) -> Void in
if let error = error {
print(error)
return
}
if let data = data {
OperationQueue.main.addOperation({ () -> Void in
self.tableView.reloadData()
})
}
})
task.resume()
With or without http method, response data is empty. What am I doing wrong? WiFi works fine. Maybe problem on my simulator settings?
let url = URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with:url!, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
guard let data = data, error == nil else { return }
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .allowFragments)
let posts = json as? [[String: Any]] ?? []
print(posts)
for post in posts{
let product = Product()
product.userId = post["userId"] as! Int
product.id = post["id"] as! Int
product.title = post["title"] as! String
product.body = post["body"] as! String
self.products.append(product)
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
}).resume()
Yeah thanks, but your code is not works too, i mean say data is empty, nothing to be parsed. WiFi on my emulator works fine maybe problem on my xcode8?
Made some changes in your code.
let url = NSURL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts")
NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(NSURLRequest.init(URL: url!), completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
guard let data = data where error == nil else { return }
do {
let posts = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: .AllowFragments)
print(posts)
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error)
}
}).resume()
Output :
Here your all 100 post display

Error in NSURLRequest, unrecognized selector sent to instance

I made a simple GET request with NSURLRequest,
here's the code:
let todoEndpoint: String = "http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1"
let url = NSURL(string: todoEndpoint)
let urlRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)
let session = NSURLSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(urlRequest) {
(data, response, error) in
guard error == nil else {
print("Error calling GET on /todos/1")
print(error)
return
}
guard let responseData = data else {
print("Error: did not receive data")
return
}
do {
guard let todo = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(responseData, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject] else {
print("Error. ")
return
}
print("The todo is " + todo.description)
guard let todoTitle = todo["title"] as? String else {
return
}
print("The title is " + todoTitle)
} catch {
return
}
}
task.resume()
Xcode says:
[NSURLSession dataTaskForRequest:completion:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7f93d1714270
You should take shared session instead of creating new one
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
Or you also can create own session but you must provide session configuration into constructor
let config = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: config)
