I want to send mobile number and password to the server in the ios app. Backend team has given postman API like below image.
Success when sent as form-data
Below Swift URL request failing, What I'm doing wrong here?
func sendReq() {
let Url = String(format: "http://xxxxxxx/mobile/request_otp")
guard let serviceUrl = URL(string: Url) else { return }
let parameterDictionary = ["mobile_number" : "xxxxxxxxxx", "password" : "12345678"]
var request = URLRequest(url: serviceUrl)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.cachePolicy = .useProtocolCachePolicy
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
// params dict as data
guard let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameterDictionary, options: []) else {
return
}
request.httpBody = httpBody
// session
let session = URLSession.shared
//data task
session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
if let response = response {
print(response)
}
if let data = data {
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])
print(json)
}
catch {
print(error)
}
}
}.resume()
}
But above API call throwing error like
{
error = TRUE;
message = "All fields Required!";
}
Set the Content-Type HTTP header:
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = ["Content-Type": "application/json"]
This way you inform the server that you are sending JSON.
Can you try:
{\"mobile_number\":xxxxxxxxxx,\"password\":12345678}
and select Application/Json instead of text.

I am trying to reach a site that should take the username and password given and return a JSON which contains information stating whether or not the login data provided was valid or not.
However, all I'm getting back is the site's HTML code instead of a response. I've tried the request with the same parameters on https://www.hurl.it/ and have gotten the correct response so that does not seem to be the issue.
I use the following code:
private func uploadToAPI(username: String, password: String) {
guard let url = URL(string: "http://api.foo.com/login.php"),
let encodedUsername = username.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.alphanumerics),
let encodedPassword = password.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.alphanumerics) else {
self.loginButton.isLoading = false
return
}
let httpBodyParameters = ["user": encodedUsername, "password": encodedPassword, "client": "ios", "version": "5"]
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: httpBodyParameters, options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions.prettyPrinted)
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
if let response = response {
print(response.mimeType) // Prints "text/html"
}
if let data = data {
print(try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.allowFragments)) // Prints nil
print(String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)) // Prints the site's HTML
}
}.resume()
}
I fail to see where the issue is. I've also tried not setting the HTTP headers but that makes no difference. Anyone got any ideas?
It seems like not setting the HTTP header fields and using a string literal instead of a Dictionary as HTTP body data did it for me.
For anyone interested this is the code that now receives the expected response:
guard let url = URL(string: "http://api.foo.com/login.php?"),
let encodedUsername = username.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.alphanumerics),
let encodedPassword = password.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: CharacterSet.alphanumerics) else {
if let delegate = self.delegate {
delegate.viewModelDidRejectLogin(self)
}
return
}
let httpBodyString = "user=\(encodedUsername)&password=\(encodedPassword)&client=ios&version=5"
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = httpBodyString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
print(error)
return
}
do {
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String : AnyObject] {
self.readLoginResponse(json)
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
I'm trying to do this post request and I'm getting success as result but user data Full Name, Gender, and DOB are not updating on the server, all are set to null. I think data that I passed is not going to the server properly. Here is my code:
func syncPostRequst() -> Bool {
let plist = PlistHelper()
var tokenString = plist.getAnyValueFromPlistFile("ACCESS_TOKEN")
//create the url with URL
let url = URL(string: "http://192.168.1.3:8080/api/User/UpdateBasicUserDetails")! //change the url
//create the session object
let session = URLSession.shared
let json: [String: Any] = ["DateOfBirth": "2010.3.3", "FullName": "Anushka Edited iOS", "Gender":"Male"]
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: json)
NSLog("JDATASE: \(jsonData)")
NSLog("JDATASEQQQ: \(JSON(jsonData))")
//now create the URLRequest object using the url object
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST" //set http method as POST
// insert json data to the request
request.httpBody = jsonData
request.addValue("Bearer \(tokenString)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
//create dataTask using the session object to send data to the server
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
print("json222:::\(JSON(data!))")
NSLog("request9900: \(request)")
guard error == nil else {
return
}
guard let data = data else {
return
}
do {
//create json object from data
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .mutableContainers) as? [String: Any] {
print("json:::\(json)")
// handle json...
}
} catch let error {
print("ERRROR Caught: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
})
task.resume()
return true
}
I'm using Swift 3.0, Does anyone knows any reason for this?
I am trying to receive and process a POST request being sent from my iOS app to my Node.js web server. The server responds with HTTP Error 502 whenever I try to send this POST request. Could you please look at my code below and see what is wrong with it? Thank you!
Node.js Code
app.post('/applogin', function(req, res) {
var parsedBody = JSON.parse(req.body);
console.log(parsedBody)
});
Swift Code (POST function)
func httpPost(jsonData: Data) {
if !jsonData.isEmpty {
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = jsonData
URLSession.shared.getAllTasks { (openTasks: [URLSessionTask]) in
NSLog("open tasks: \(openTasks)")
}
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: { (responseData: Data?, response: URLResponse?, error: Error?) in
NSLog("\(response)")
})
task.resume()
}
}
Swift Code (sending of the POST request)
#IBAction func onClick(_ sender: Any) {
let username = Username.text
let password = Password.text
var dataString = "username: \(username), password: \(password)"
let data = dataString.data(using: .utf8)
httpPost(jsonData: data!)
}
Thanks in advance!
You have to send a json instead dataString, and you have to set the "Content Type" header with value "application/json"
Swift 2
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: requestUrl)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let params = ["username" : username, "password" : password] as Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
request.HTTPBody = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options:NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
Many answers they don't mention that we need to set header for the request from Swift side before sending to the backend otherwise it'll be a string in a wrong format that we can't use JSON.parse, here's what I firgured out (NOTE the IMPORTANT line):
let json = [
"email": emailTextField.text
]
let jsonData = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: json)
let url = URL(string: BASE_URL + "/auth/register")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
// insert json data to the request
request.httpBody = jsonData
//IMPORTANT
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "No data")
return
}
let responseJSON = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])
if let responseJSON = responseJSON as? [String: Any] {
print(responseJSON)
}
}
task.resume()
And in your NodeJS with Express just call req.body and you're done
Try this:
app.post('/applogin', function(req, res) {
var parsedBody = JSON.parse(req.body);
console.log(parsedBody)
res.send("Request received")
});
I want to access the magenta REST API in my iOS application.
Following is my code to access the API:
func getCustomerTokenusingURLSEssion(){
let url = URL(string: "HTTPURL")!
var urlRequest = URLRequest(
url: url,
cachePolicy: .reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData,
timeoutInterval: 10.0 * 1000)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST"
urlRequest.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let json1: [String: Any] = [
"username": "xyz#gmail.com",
"password":"xyz12345"]
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: json1, options: .prettyPrinted)
urlRequest.httpBody = jsonData
let config = URLSessionConfiguration.default
let urlsession = URLSession(configuration: config)
let task = urlsession.dataTask(with: urlRequest){ (data, response, error) -> Void in
print("response from server: \(response)")
guard error == nil else {
print("Error while fetching remote rooms: \(error)")
return
}
guard let data = data,
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any] else {
print("Nil data received from fetchAllRooms service ")
return
}
print("JSON \(json)")
}
task.resume()
}
But I'm getting error message form the server as follow:
["message": Server cannot understand Content-Type HTTP header media type application/x-www-form-urlencoded]
Please help!
Thanks!
Here's working example of token-based authentication from iOS to magento2 using swift:
func restApiAuthorize(completionBlock: #escaping (String) -> Void) {
// Prepare json data
let json: [String: Any] = ["username": “yourusername”,
"password": “yourpassowrd”]
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: json)
// Create post request
let url = URL(string: "http://yourmagentodomain.com/index.php/rest/V1/integration/customer/token")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("\(jsonData!.count)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Length")
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
// Insert json data to the request
request.httpBody = jsonData
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "No data")
return
}
// 1: Check HTTP Response for successful GET request
guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
else {
print("error: not a valid http response")
return
}
print(httpResponse.statusCode)
switch (httpResponse.statusCode)
{
case 200:
let responseData = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)!
print ("responseData: \(responseData)")
completionBlock(responseData)
default:
print("POST request got response \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
}
task.resume()
}
And usage is like that:
restApiAuthorize() { (output) in
// token data, I found it important to remove quotes otherwise token contains extra quotes in the end and beginning of string
let userToken = output.replacingOccurrences(of: "\"", with: "")
print ("userToken \(userToken)")
}
you can then write your userToken to userDefaults and make feature api calls.
Best Guest you forgot to set your Content-Type, so add this:
urlRequest.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
I'm trying to run a HTTP Request in Swift, to POST 2 parameters to a URL.
Example:
Link: www.thisismylink.com/postName.php
Params:
id = 13
name = Jack
What is the simplest way to do that?
I don't even want to read the response. I just want to send that to perform changes on my database through a PHP file.
The key is that you want to:
set the httpMethod to POST;
optionally, set the Content-Type header, to specify how the request body was encoded, in case server might accept different types of requests;
optionally, set the Accept header, to request how the response body should be encoded, in case the server might generate different types of responses; and
set the httpBody to be properly encoded for the specific Content-Type; e.g. if application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, we need to percent-encode the body of the request.
E.g., in Swift 3 and later you can:
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/post")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"id": 13,
"name": "Jack & Jill"
]
request.httpBody = parameters.percentEncoded()
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard
let data = data,
let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
error == nil
else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error", error ?? URLError(.badServerResponse))
return
}
guard (200 ... 299) ~= response.statusCode else { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 2xx, but is \(response.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
return
}
// do whatever you want with the `data`, e.g.:
do {
let responseObject = try JSONDecoder().decode(ResponseObject<Foo>.self, from: data)
print(responseObject)
} catch {
print(error) // parsing error
if let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
} else {
print("unable to parse response as string")
}
}
}
task.resume()
Where the following extensions facilitate the percent-encoding request body, converting a Swift Dictionary to a application/x-www-form-urlencoded formatted Data:
extension Dictionary {
func percentEncoded() -> Data? {
map { key, value in
let escapedKey = "\(key)".addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryValueAllowed) ?? ""
let escapedValue = "\(value)".addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryValueAllowed) ?? ""
return escapedKey + "=" + escapedValue
}
.joined(separator: "&")
.data(using: .utf8)
}
}
extension CharacterSet {
static let urlQueryValueAllowed: CharacterSet = {
let generalDelimitersToEncode = ":#[]#" // does not include "?" or "/" due to RFC 3986 - Section 3.4
let subDelimitersToEncode = "!$&'()*+,;="
var allowed: CharacterSet = .urlQueryAllowed
allowed.remove(charactersIn: "\(generalDelimitersToEncode)\(subDelimitersToEncode)")
return allowed
}()
}
And the following Decodable model objects facilitate the parsing of the application/json response using JSONDecoder:
// sample Decodable objects for https://httpbin.org
struct ResponseObject<T: Decodable>: Decodable {
let form: T // often the top level key is `data`, but in the case of https://httpbin.org, it echos the submission under the key `form`
}
struct Foo: Decodable {
let id: String
let name: String
}
This checks for both fundamental networking errors as well as high-level HTTP errors. This also properly percent escapes the parameters of the query.
Note, I used a name of Jack & Jill, to illustrate the proper x-www-form-urlencoded result of name=Jack%20%26%20Jill, which is “percent encoded” (i.e. the space is replaced with %20 and the & in the value is replaced with %26).
See previous revision of this answer for Swift 2 rendition.
Swift 4 and above
func postRequest() {
// declare the parameter as a dictionary that contains string as key and value combination. considering inputs are valid
let parameters: [String: Any] = ["id": 13, "name": "jack"]
// create the url with URL
let url = URL(string: "www.thisismylink.com/postName.php")! // change server url accordingly
// create the session object
let session = URLSession.shared
// now create the URLRequest object using the url object
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST" //set http method as POST
// add headers for the request
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") // change as per server requirements
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
do {
// convert parameters to Data and assign dictionary to httpBody of request
request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
return
}
// create dataTask using the session object to send data to the server
let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
print("Post Request Error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
return
}
// ensure there is valid response code returned from this HTTP response
guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
(200...299).contains(httpResponse.statusCode)
else {
print("Invalid Response received from the server")
return
}
// ensure there is data returned
guard let responseData = data else {
print("nil Data received from the server")
return
}
do {
// create json object from data or use JSONDecoder to convert to Model stuct
if let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: responseData, options: .mutableContainers) as? [String: Any] {
print(jsonResponse)
// handle json response
} else {
print("data maybe corrupted or in wrong format")
throw URLError(.badServerResponse)
}
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
// perform the task
task.resume()
}
For anyone looking for a clean way to encode a POST request in Swift 5.
You don’t need to deal with manually adding percent encoding.
Use URLComponents to create a GET request URL. Then use query property of that URL to get properly percent escaped query string.
let url = URL(string: "https://example.com")!
var components = URLComponents(url: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)!
components.queryItems = [
URLQueryItem(name: "key1", value: "NeedToEscape=And&"),
URLQueryItem(name: "key2", value: "vålüé")
]
let query = components.url!.query
The query will be a properly escaped string:
key1=NeedToEscape%3DAnd%26&key2=v%C3%A5l%C3%BC%C3%A9
Now you can create a request and use the query as HTTPBody:
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = Data(query.utf8)
Now you can send the request.
Heres the method I used in my logging library: https://github.com/goktugyil/QorumLogs
This method fills html forms inside Google Forms.
var url = NSURL(string: urlstring)
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.HTTPBody = postData.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
var connection = NSURLConnection(request: request, delegate: nil, startImmediately: true)
let session = URLSession.shared
let url = "http://...."
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: url)! as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
var params :[String: Any]?
params = ["Some_ID" : "111", "REQUEST" : "SOME_API_NAME"]
do{
request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions())
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest as URLRequest, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let response = response {
let nsHTTPResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
let statusCode = nsHTTPResponse.statusCode
print ("status code = \(statusCode)")
}
if let error = error {
print ("\(error)")
}
if let data = data {
do{
let jsonResponse = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions())
print ("data = \(jsonResponse)")
}catch _ {
print ("OOps not good JSON formatted response")
}
}
})
task.resume()
}catch _ {
print ("Oops something happened buddy")
}
All the answers here use JSON objects. This gave us problems with the
$this->input->post()
methods of our Codeigniter controllers. The CI_Controller cannot read JSON directly.
We used this method to do it WITHOUT JSON
func postRequest() {
// Create url object
guard let url = URL(string: yourURL) else {return}
// Create the session object
let session = URLSession.shared
// Create the URLRequest object using the url object
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
// Set the request method. Important Do not set any other headers, like Content-Type
request.httpMethod = "POST" //set http method as POST
// Set parameters here. Replace with your own.
let postData = "param1_id=param1_value¶m2_id=param2_value".data(using: .utf8)
request.httpBody = postData
// Create a task using the session object, to run and return completion handler
let webTask = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: {data, response, error in
guard error == nil else {
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Response Error")
return
}
guard let serverData = data else {
print("server data error")
return
}
do {
if let requestJson = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: serverData, options: .mutableContainers) as? [String: Any]{
print("Response: \(requestJson)")
}
} catch let responseError {
print("Serialisation in error in creating response body: \(responseError.localizedDescription)")
let message = String(bytes: serverData, encoding: .ascii)
print(message as Any)
}
// Run the task
webTask.resume()
}
Now your CI_Controller will be able to get param1 and param2 using $this->input->post('param1') and $this->input->post('param2')
#IBAction func btn_LogIn(sender: AnyObject) {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://demo.hackerkernel.com/ios_api/login.php")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let postString = "email: test#test.com & password: testtest"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request){data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else{
print("error")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse where httpStatus.statusCode != 200{
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
let responseString = String(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
}
task.resume()
}
