Using Alamofire for .post api, api giving data in postman but not in my code. Posting below the code, please guide what wrong i am doing here:
// API calling method:
parameters = [
"Address" : "" as AnyObject,
"Name" : "" as AnyObject,
"ServiceID" : "" as AnyObject,
"Rating" : "" as AnyObject,
"Price" : "" as AnyObject
]
let headers: Dictionary = [
"" : ""
]
print(parameters)
ApiServices.requestPOSTURL(strURL, params: parameters, headers: headers, success:{
(JSONResponse) -> Void in
CommonMethodsClass.hideHUD(targetView: self.view)
print(JSONResponse["message"])
let strMsg = JSONResponse["message"].stringValue
if (JSONResponse["status"].intValue == 1)
{
}
else
{
CommonMethodsClass.showAlertMessage(vc: self, titleStr: "Error!", messageStr: strMsg)
}
}) {
(error) -> Void in
print(error)
CommonMethodsClass.hideHUD(targetView: self.view)
}
// Api request method:
class func requestPOSTURL(_ strURL : String, params : [String : AnyObject]?, headers : [String : String]?, success:#escaping (JSON) -> Void, failure:#escaping (Error) -> Void){
Alamofire.request(strURL, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseJSON { (responseObject) -> Void in
print(responseObject)
if responseObject.result.isSuccess {
let resJson = JSON(responseObject.result.value as Any)
success(resJson)
}
if responseObject.result.isFailure {
let error : Error = responseObject.result.error!
failure(error)
}
}
}
Error: FAILURE:
responseSerializationFailed(Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.jsonSerializationFailed(Error
Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Invalid value around character
1." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Invalid value around character 1.}))
Update: Response to parse, may also needs to be changed.

Answer 1

Replace responseJSON with responseString.
You need to convert the string for values. Can you update the string in your question?
You can use this function to convert response string into JSON:
func convertToDictionary(text: String) -> [String: Any]? {
if let data = text.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
return try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any]
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
return nil
}
String: let str = "{\"name\":\"James\"}"
USAGE: let dict = convertToDictionary(text: str)

Answer 2

Try responseString instead of responseJSON and it will work
Alamofire.request("URL").responseString { response in
print(response)
if let json = response.result.value {
print("JSON: \(json)")
}
}

Answer 3

Change responseJSON to responseString and it will work :)
Alamofire.request("URL").responseString { response in
print(response)
if let json = response.result.value {
print("JSON: \(json)")
}
}
