let header = [
"Content-Type":"application/json",
"X-Source":"iOS",
"Authorization":token]
let strURL = "ValidURL"
let manager = AFHTTPSessionManager()
let serializer = AFHTTPRequestSerializer()
for (_,dict) in header.enumerated() {
serializer.setValue("\(dict.value)", forHTTPHeaderField: "\(dict.key)")
}
manager.requestSerializer = serializer
let req = serializer.request(withMethod: "POST", urlString: strURL, parameters: params, error: nil)
manager.dataTask(with: req as URLRequest) { (response, data, error) in
print(error)
print(response)
print(data)
}
//No response from this method
Also, I tried:
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: strURL)!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
for (_,dict) in header.enumerated() {
request.setValue("\(dict.value)", forHTTPHeaderField: "\(dict.key)")
}
request.httpBody = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: .prettyPrinted)
manager.dataTask(with: request) { (response, data, error) in
print(error)
print(response)
print(data)
}
Even I have tried:
manager.post(strURL, parameters: params, progress: nil, success: { (sessionTask, respose) in
if let dict = respose as? Dictionary<String,Any> {
print(dict)
} else {
}
}) { (task, error) in
print(error)
}
//It Give me: failed: bad request (400)
There are two problems here
When you use a dataTask method, you get back a task object. You need to call resume() on it when you want the request to be sent.
Your errors indicate that your JSON body is incorrect. That is in your params object which probably does not match what the service is expecting.

Seems like a simple error, but I cannot resolve it for some reason:
let parameters = ["user_id":usernameTF.text!, "password": passwordTF.text!]
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
print(parameters)
print(jsonData!)
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField:"Accept")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
debugTV.text = "\(parameters["user_id"]!)"+"\(parameters["password"]!)"
do {
request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options:[])
// pass dictionary to nsdata object and set it as request body
print(request.httpBody!)
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
guard error == nil else {
return
}
guard let data = data else {
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 {
// check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
}
let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
print(responseString!)
}
when see the NodeJS debug window, my request body is
req.body = { '[password: "test", user_id: "test"]':'' }
how can I convert the request data into a JSON object?
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 have this API http://my-api.mydoctorfinder.com/
that will return a bool value depending on the email and password you have entered.
My problem is it will always return false despite using the correct email and password.
I was thinking that I might have not sent the right parameter since I created a dictionary containing the email and password. Then passed it on NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject method
By the way, I was using SwiftyJson.
This is my code
//creates a dictionary and calls the PostRequest method
func attemptLogIn( email: String, password: String) {
let route = loggerURL
let body: [String:String] = ["email":email, "password":password]
makeHTTPPostRequest(route, body: body)
}
//performs post request
private func makeHTTPPostRequest(path: String, body: [String: AnyObject]) {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: path)!)
// Set the method to POST
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
do {
// Set the POST body for the request
let jsonBody = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(body, options: .PrettyPrinted)
request.HTTPBody = jsonBody
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {data, response, error -> Void in
if let jsonData = data {
let json:JSON = JSON(data: jsonData)
//onCompletion(json, nil)
print("The Response: ")
print(json)
} else {
//onCompletion(nil, error)
print("The Response: ")
print("Hello")
}
})
task.resume()
} catch {
// Create your personal error
//onCompletion(nil, nil)
}
}
The response is simply a true or false i.e. its not a json object.
So i would suggest don't use Swifty son instead use Alamofire.
Following code should work for you:-
let myParameters = [
"email": "your email id",
"password": "your password"]
Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://my-api.mydoctorfinder.com/ ", parameters: myParameters)
.response { request, response, data, error in
print(request)
print(response)
if(response == true)
{
// do your thing
}
print(error)
}
Note: There might be a need to typecast response to bool
Also following is the screenshot of the link you gave, it returns true(and not a json object) [After registration, i tried to login with same credentials]
Try to create JSON object using NSJSONSerialization in this way:
request.HTTPBody = try! NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(body, options: [])
I assume that problem is in .PrettyPrinted constant.
Edit:
Also try adding correct content-type:
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
Here is the swift post request to get data :
func retriveTextDataByPost(requestURL:String, params: NSDictionary, handler:((dict:NSDictionary?) -> Void)) {
let configuration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration()
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: configuration, delegate: self, delegateQueue: nil)
let url = NSURL(string: requestURL)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!, cachePolicy: NSURLRequestCachePolicy.UseProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: 60)
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
do {
let postData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options:NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
request.HTTPBody = postData
let postDataTask = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { (data:NSData?, response:NSURLResponse?, error:NSError?) -> Void in
if data != nil {
do {
let dictResult:NSDictionary = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! NSDictionary
handler(dict: dictResult)
} catch { }
}
}
postDataTask.resume()
} catch { }
}
Check your keys for email and password with required input for APIs
Check your login URL
I have create a client service class to make call GET request from web api. I tried to extended but have more web method POST,PUT,Delete.I don't find good example in how to create POST,PUT,Delete using swift closure.I just want to ask how to add POST,PUT,Delete to client service?
import Foundation
class ClientService{
func getClients(searchstring:String,pageNumber:Int,callBack:(NSArray)->()){
request("\(_settings.baseUrl)Client/\(searchstring)/\(String(pageNumber))/rrn/brns", callBack: callBack)
}
func request(url:String,callBack:(NSArray)->()){
let nsURL = NSURL(string:url);
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithURL(nsURL!){
(data,response,error) in
do {
let response = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers) as! NSArray
callBack(response)
} catch let error as NSError {
print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
task.resume()
}
init(){
self._settings = Settings();
}
var _settings:Settings!;
}
You are on the right track. I make a separate function for get, post, put, delete etc. But you could make them in a one function if you want.
Bear in mind, this code is just to illustrate how to do it. You will need to modify it for your needs.
func request(url:String, method: String, params: [String: String], completion: ([AnyObject])->() ){
if let nsURL = NSURL(string:url) {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: nsURL)
if method == "POST" {
// convert key, value pairs into param string
postString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joinWithSeparator("&")
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
}
else if method == "GET" {
postString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joinWithSeparator("&")
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
}
else if method == "PUT" {
putString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joinWithSeparator("&")
request.HTTPMethod = "PUT"
request.HTTPBody = putString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
}
// Add other verbs here
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
(data, response, error) in
do {
// what happens if error is not nil?
// That means something went wrong.
// Make sure there really is some data
if let data = data {
let response = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
completion(response)
}
else {
// Data is nil.
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
task.resume()
}
else{
// Could not make url. Is the url bad?
// You could call the completion handler (callback) here with some value indicating an error
}
}
Call it like this:
request("http://somedomain.etc", "POST", ["key1" : "value1", "key2", "values2"]) {
(result) in
// Handle result here.
}
You will note that I eliminated NSArray. [AnyObject] is the Swift way to do this.
I recommend that you add some sort of error indicator in the completion handler. That would let you detect that something went wrong and handle it.
Be very cautious when using ! to unwrap variables. This is the most common reason for apps crashing.
i use for mes projects Alamofire (Elegant HTTP Networking in Swift), and i love it
so example how to use POST
let parameters = [
"foo": "bar",
"baz": ["a", 1],
"qux": [
"x": 1,
"y": 2,
"z": 3
]
]
Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://httpbin.org/post", parameters: parameters)
// HTTP body: foo=bar&baz[]=a&baz[]=1&qux[x]=1&qux[y]=2&qux[z]=3
and here how to use Delete
Alamofire.request(.DELETE, "https://httpbin.org/delete")
go to documentation is very good
https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire
and if you want use swift without framework
this is example how to use POST
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http://localhost:4567/login"))
var session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
var params = ["username":"jameson", "password":"password"] as Dictionary<String, String>
var err: NSError?
request.HTTPBody = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options: nil, error: &err)
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
var task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {data, response, error -> Void in
println("Response: \(response)")
var strData = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println("Body: \(strData)")
var err: NSError?
var json = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: .MutableLeaves, error: &err) as? NSDictionary
// Did the JSONObjectWithData constructor return an error? If so, log the error to the console
if(err != nil) {
println(err!.localizedDescription)
let jsonStr = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println("Error could not parse JSON: '\(jsonStr)'")
}
else {
// The JSONObjectWithData constructor didn't return an error. But, we should still
// check and make sure that json has a value using optional binding.
if let parseJSON = json {
// Okay, the parsedJSON is here, let's get the value for 'success' out of it
var success = parseJSON["success"] as? Int
println("Succes: \(success)")
}
else {
// Woa, okay the json object was nil, something went worng. Maybe the server isn't running?
let jsonStr = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println("Error could not parse JSON: \(jsonStr)")
}
}
})
task.resume()
Instead of using dataTaskWithUrl, you could create an HTTP request like this:
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.HTTPBody = jsonData
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue(String (jsonData?.length), forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Length")
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, res, error in
// etc etc
Everything else in your example above would be the same. You'd have to provide the json data, of course. For that, you could do something like this:
let data: [String: AnyObject] = ["nameValue": dataValue]
var jsonData: NSData? = nil
do {
jsonData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(data, options: NSJSONWritingOptions(rawValue: 0))
} catch {
// some error serializing
}
Swift 4 version (I think):
func restRequest(url:String, method: String, params: [String: String], completion: #escaping ([AnyObject])->() ){
if let nsURL = NSURL(string:url) {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: nsURL as URL)
if method == "POST" {
// convert key, value pairs into param string
let postString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joined(separator: "&")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
}
else if method == "GET" {
let postString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joined(separator: "&")
request.httpMethod = "GET"
}
else if method == "PUT" {
let putString = params.map { "\($0.0)=\($0.1)" }.joined(separator: "&")
request.httpMethod = "PUT"
request.httpBody = putString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
}
// Add other verbs here
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {
(data, response, error) in
do {
// what happens if error is not nil?
// That means something went wrong.
// Make sure there really is some data
if let data = data {
let response = try JSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
completion(response)
}
else {
// Data is nil.
}
} catch let error as NSError {
print("json error: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
}
task.resume()
}
else{
// Could not make url. Is the url bad?
// You could call the completion handler (callback) here with some value indicating an error
}
}
I adapted this from Ray Wenderlich's iOS Apprentice tutorial part 4.
This code works as a GET request sent to my Strongloop API with a simple database model, however:
This works, but I don't know why it works, since it invokes no method that I can see to actually send the request.
I see no means to make it into a POST request.
My question is: How do I perform a POST request? Is it done in a completely different way?
Let me know if you need more information.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#IBAction func getFromDB() {
let url = urlWithSearchText("")
println("URL: '\(url)'")
if let jsonString = performGetRequestWithURL(url) {
println("Received JSON string '\(jsonString)'")
}
}
func urlWithSearchText(searchText: String) -> NSURL {
let escapedSearchText = searchText.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
let urlString = String(format: "http://localhost:3000/api/Tests", escapedSearchText)
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
return url!
}
func performGetRequestWithURL(url: NSURL) -> String? {
var error: NSError?

return resultString
} else if let error = error {
println("Download Error: \(error)")

println("Unknown Download Error")
}
return nil

Below are two POST methods. Depending on if you want it synchronous (everything else waits until the post method is completed) or asynchronous (POST method runs in background, other methods run in parallel).
Methods
// POST data to url
func postDataAsynchronous(url: String, bodyData: String, completionHandler: (responseString: String!, error: NSError!) -> ()) {
var URL: NSURL = NSURL(string: url)!
var request:NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL:URL)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST";
request.HTTPBody = bodyData.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);
NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()){
response, data, error in
var output: String!
if data != nil {
output = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as! String
}
completionHandler(responseString: output, error: error)
}
}
// Obtain the data
func postDataSynchronous(url: String, bodyData: String, completionHandler: (responseString: String!, error: NSError!) -> ())
{
let URL: NSURL = NSURL(string: url)!
var request:NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL:URL)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.HTTPBody = bodyData.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);
request.addValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
var response: NSURLResponse?
var error: NSError?
// Send data
let data = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response, error: &error)
var output: String! // Default to nil
if data != nil{
output = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) as! String
}
completionHandler(responseString: output, error: error)
}
Using them
You can then call (use) them like so:
postDataSynchronous(url, bodyData: bodyData) {
responseString, error in
if error != nil {
println("Error during post: \(error)")
return
}
else{
//Success
println(responseString)
userType = responseString // Set usertype based on server response
}
}
SWIFT 2.0
func postData(url: String, params: Dictionary<String, String>, completionHandler: (data: NSData?, response: NSURLResponse?, error: NSError?) -> ()) {
// Indicate download
UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = true
let url = NSURL(string: url)!
// print("URL: \(url)")
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
// Verify downloading data is allowed
do {
request.HTTPBody = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options: [])
} catch let error as NSError {
print("Error in request post: \(error)")
request.HTTPBody = nil
} catch {
print("Catch all error: \(error)")
}
// Post the data
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
completionHandler(data: data, response: response, error: error)
// Stop download indication
UIApplication.sharedApplication().networkActivityIndicatorVisible = false // Stop download indication
}
task.resume()
}
guard let url = URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users") else { return }
let session = URLSession.shared
session.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
if let response = response {
print(response)
}
if let data = data {
print(data)
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])
print(json)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
}.resume()
}
It's a get method.
This method invokes the http request.
String(contentsOfURL: url, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: &error)
Because Swift String has no init signature like this.
This method would be written somewhere in the project, as extension of String
It would be something like this
extension String{
init(contentsOfURL: NSURL, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, inout error: NSError){
// load data from url
self = //parse data to string
}
}
The String(contentsOfUrl:encoding:error) initializer makes a GET request under the hood and returns the content as a string with the specified encoding.
One way to make a request would be to create an NSURLConnection and use NSMutablrURLRequest set the HTTP method the post. With the NSMutableURLRequest, you can create a NSURLConnection and start it immediately with a delegate or you can call NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest or NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest to send the request.
let parameters = ["username": "#Bipin_kumar", "tweet": "HelloWorld"]
guard let url = URL(string: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts") else { return }
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
guard let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: []) else { return }
request.httpBody = httpBody
let session = URLSession.shared
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()
It's a post method.
GET Request
func getRequest(with url: URL, callback: #escaping (Any?) -> Swift.Void) -> Void {
let defaultConfigObject = URLSessionConfiguration.default
