Send POST parameters with MultipartFormData using Alamofire, in iOS Swift
(13 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I want to make a request wit Alamofire like this:
postman request
As you can see, i have a parameter called "data" and its value is a Json,
How can i do that using Alamofire?
I have tried with parameters, but doesnt wotk
Alamofire.request(urlservice, method: .post, parameters: ["data": parameters], encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
Any suggestions?
UPDATE
Here is my code
var arrayProducts = [[String: String]]()
let product: [String: String] = ["qty": self.txtQty.text!, "precio": self.productPrice, "product_id": self.productId]
arrayProducts.append(product)
let parameters = [
"products": arrayProducts,
"address": self.userInfo["userAddress"]!,
"latitude": "6.157738",
"longitude": "-75.6144665",
"id": 1,
"name": self.userInfo["userName"]!,
"cellphone": self.userInfo["userPhone"]!,
"emei": "23456resdfty"
] as [String : Any]
Alamofire.request(urlservice, method: .post, parameters: ["data": parameters], encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
when you have an Any Data as paremeter, you should sent the URLRequest to Alamofire, it supports Any as body
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: url)!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpBody = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: [])
Alamofire.request(request)
.responseString { (response) in
// to do anything
}
Here is an example 4 you, the CURL statement an example of what it is doing.
Note token referenced here is a shared secret, obviously not stuff to post to SO :) bags of print statements in here so that you can see what going on/wrong :)
func files_download(sourcePath: String) {
// curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download
// --header "Authorization: Bearer ab-XXX"
// --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/acme101/acme1/acme.png\"}"
var headers:HTTPHeaders!
let subPart: Dictionary = ["path":sourcePath]
do {
let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: subPart, options: [])
let dataString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
headers = ["Authorization": "Bearer " + token, "Dropbox-API-Arg": dataString!]
} catch {
print("Oh fudge")
}
Alamofire.request("https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download", method: .post, encoding: JSONEncoding.init(options: []), headers: headers).responseData(completionHandler: {feedback in
guard feedback.result.value != nil else {
print("Error: did not receive data", //rint("request \(request) feedback \(feedback)"))
return
}
guard feedback.result.error == nil else {
print("error calling POST on list_folder")
print(feedback.result.error)
return
}
if let JSON = feedback.result.value {
print("JSON: \(JSON)")
let dataString = String(data: JSON, encoding: .utf8)
print("JSON: \(JSON) \(String(describing: dataString))")
}
if let IMAGE = feedback.result.value {
print("downloaded \(sourcePath) \(sharedDataAccess.currentSN)")
sharedDataAccess.fnData(index2seek: sharedDataAccess.currentSN, fnData: feedback.result.value! as Data)
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name("previewPane"), object: nil, userInfo: nil)
}
})

I am trying to send POST HTTP request with body using Alamofire and would appreciate any help.
My body:
{"data":{"gym":{"country":"USA","city":"San Diego","id":1}}}
Should I do something like this?
let parameters: [String: Any] = [ "data": [
"gym": [
"country":"USA",
"city":"San Diego",
"id":1
]]]
Alamofire.request(URL, method: .post, parameters: parameters, headers: headers())
.responseJSON { response in
print(response)
}
If you wish to send the parameters in json format use encoding as JSONEncoding. So add parameter for encoding in request as follows:
Alamofire.request(URL, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers())
.responseJSON { response in
print(response)
}
Hope it helps...
Try this method to convert your json string to dictionary
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
}
let str = "{\"data\":{\"gym\":{\"country\":\"USA\",\"city\":\"San Diego\",\"id\":1}}}"
let dict = convertToDictionary(text: str)
and send dictionary as a param in your request.
Alamofire.request(URL, method: .post, parameters: dict, headers: headers())
.responseJSON { response in
print(response)
}
ref : How to convert a JSON string to a dictionary?
What I think is that you should try and prepare your dictionary in the this format:
var gym = [String:Any]()
gym["country"] = "USA"
gym["city"] = "San"
var data = [[String:Any]]()
data.append(gym)
var metaData = [String:Any]()
metaData["data"] = data
Your parameters is wrong...
let parameters: [String: Any] = { "data":
{
"gym": {
"country":"USA",
"city":"San Diego",
"id":1
}
}
}
Alamofire.request(<YOUR-URL>,
method: .post,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: URLEncoding(destination: .queryString),
headers: <YOUR-HEADER>
).validate().responseString { response in
switch response.result {
case .success:
debugPrint("Good to go.")
debugPrint(response)
case .failure:
let errMsg = String(data: response.data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)!
debugPrint(errMsg)
debugPrint(response)
}
}
Hope this help. BTW, in Alamofire 5, debugPrint(response) can print out response.data directly.
You can use the httpBody property of URLRequest along with Alamofire Session request:
var req = try? URLRequest(url: url, method: method, headers: headers)
req?.httpBody = someJson
Alamofire.Session(configuration: .default).request(req!).validate().response { response in
// Handle the response
}
I have to parse json using alamofire
before am using json session its working fine getting data from the json. now am try to parse json using alamofire.
this is the code parse the json using json, this code working fine
func auth(_ email:String,password:String) {
var request = URLRequest(url:AppConstants.apiURLWithPathComponents("usersignin"))
let session = URLSession.shared
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let bodyData = "email=\(email)&passCode=\(password)&deviceType=iOS&deviceId=\(deviceToken)"
request.httpBody = bodyData.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8);
let task = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
do {
if data != nil {
if let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary {
errorCode = String(describing: jsonData["errorCode"]!)
msg = jsonData["msg"] as! String
print(errorCode)
print(jsonData)
if(errorCode == "1"){
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
self.activityIndicator.stopAnimating()
})
} else {
self.name = jsonData.value(forKey: "name") as! String
if let kidsURLDetails = jsonData["kidsURLDetails"] as? NSArray {
for i in 0 ..< kidsURLDetails.count {
if kidsURLDetails[i] is NSDictionary {
let url = kidsURLDetails[i] as? NSDictionary
self.urls.append((url?["url"]) as! String)
}
}
}
self.serverURL = self.urls.joined(separator: ",")
print("ServerURL \(self.serverURL)")
let prefs:UserDefaults = UserDefaults.standard
prefs.setValue(self.name, forKey: "NAME")
DispatchQueue.main.async(execute: {
UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()
let controllerId = "NavID"
let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let initViewController: UIViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: controllerId) as UIViewController
self.present(initViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
})
}
}
} else {
}
} catch let err as NSError {
print("JSON Error \(err)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
in above code I used post method with passing parameters, when I am trying post method with parameter passing in almofire am getting error "Extra argument 'method' in call", username and password coming from textfield so after enter the email and password I have pass the parameters using post method.
this is the code I will implemented in to alamofire json parse
var request = URLRequest(url:AppConstants.apiURLWithPathComponents("usersignin"))
let bodyData = "email=\(username)&passCode=\(passcode)&deviceType=iOS&deviceId=123456"
let deviceId = "1234"
let params: [String: Any] = ["email": username, "passCode": passwordstring, "deviceType": "IOS","deviceId":deviceId]
Alamofire.request(request, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
.responseJSON { response in
print(response.result.value as Any) }
if I can try this code working
Alamofire.request("http://www.kids.com/rk/api/usersignin?email=demo#kidsapp.com&passCode=123456&deviceType=&deviceId=", method: .post, parameters: nil, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
.responseJSON { response in
print(response.result.value as Any) }
how can I parse the json post method passing parameters using alamofire. where I did mistake pls help me
You are passing wrong type in 1 param in call it should be URLConvertible(string or URL) not URLRequest. try below code.
let params: [String: Any] = ["email": username, "passCode": passwordstring, "deviceType": "IOS","deviceId":deviceId]
let url = URL(string: "http://www.kids.com/rk/api/usersignin")!
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
.responseJSON { response in
}
____________Edit___________
here header is post request headers(if any) or nil
let params: [String: Any] = ["email": username, "passCode": passwordstring, "deviceType": "IOS","deviceId":deviceId]
let urlString = "http://www.kids.com/rk/api/usersignin"
guard let url = URL(string: urlString), var request = try? URLRequest(url: url, method: .post, headers: header) else{
//
return
}
request.httpBody = params.map{ "\($0)=\($1)" }.joined(separator: "&").data(using: .utf8)
Alamofire.request(request).responseJSON { response in
}
If you need to send the parameters in url with post request you should use URLEncoding.default encoding rather than JSONEncoding.default. JSONEncoding is used when you need to send JSON data as body with content type application/json.
Change your code like:
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
print(response.result.value as Any)
}
Or you can remove encoding parameter as URLEncoding is the default encoding of Alamofire.
// URL
let urlString = “URL_Here”
var params = [String: Any]()
//Contruct your params
params = ["email": username, "passCode": passwordstring, "deviceType": "IOS","deviceId":deviceId]
// Request
Alamofire.request(urlString, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
.validate(statusCode: 200..<300)
.responseJSON { response in
if (response.result.error == nil) {
let value = response.result.value
print(value)
}
else {
let errorString = response.result.error
print(errorString)
}
}
Want to send this to Alamofire using Swift...
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download
--header "Authorization: Bearer ab-xxx-x-x"
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": "/acme101/acmeX100/acmeX100.001.png\"}"
But can't figure how to get the second --header you see here into the code? Tried several times with different combinations, but ...
JSON: 114 bytes Optional("Error in call to API function \"files/download\": Must provide HTTP header \"Dropbox-API-Arg\" or URL parameter \"arg\".")
I provided it, but not correctly evidently?
let subPart: NSDictionary = ["path": sourcePath]
let headers:HTTPHeaders = ["Authorization": "Bearer " + token2Save, "Dropbox-API-Arg": String(describing: subPart)]
Alamofire.request("https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download", method: .post, encoding: JSONEncoding.init(options: []), headers: headers).responseData(completionHandler: {feedback in
Ureka!! THANK YOU Mr UB for giving me those tips. Found the solution.
let subPart: Dictionary = ["path":sourcePath]
do {
let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: subPart, options: [])
let dataString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
headers = ["Authorization": "Bearer " + token2Save, "Dropbox-API-Arg": dataString!]
} catch {
print("crunch")
}
Alamofire.request("https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download", method: .post, encoding: JSONEncoding.init(options: []), headers: headers).responseData(completionHandler: {feedback in
guard feedback.result.value != nil else {
print("Error: did not receive data", print("request \(request) feedback \(feedback)"))
return
}
guard feedback.result.error == nil else {
print("error calling POST on list_folder")
print(feedback.result.error)
return
}
if let JSON = feedback.result.value {
print("JSON: \(JSON)")
let dataString = String(data: JSON, encoding: .utf8)
print("JSON: \(JSON) \(dataString)")
}
if let IMAGE = feedback.result.value {
sharedDataAccess.fnData(index2seek: 0, fnData: feedback.result.value! as Data)
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: Notification.Name("previewPane"), object: nil, userInfo: nil)
}
})
I keep getting "error_type":"OAuthException","code":"41" when I using alamofire or even when i made it through to the server I got data from before header's authorisation. I think it keep sending same header, how to make sure that alamofire send the current headers?
let headers = ["Authorization" : "\(AccessToken) \(TokenType)"]
print(headers)
Alamofire.request(.GET, "url/profile/", headers: headers, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {}
EDIT
First, I use login API
let parameters = [
"client_id": "\(Constant.clientId)",
"client_secret": "\(Constant.clientSecret)",
"response_type": "\(Constant.responseType)",
"scope" : "\(Constant.scope)",
"redirect_uri": "\(Constant.redirect)",
"email": "\(email!)",
"password": "\(pass!)"
]
print(parameters)
Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://url/login/", parameters: parameters, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .Success:
if let value = response.result.value {
let json = JSON(value)
print("JSON: \(json)")
let accessToken = json["access_token"].string!
let refreshToken = json["refresh_token"].string
let tokenType = json["token_type"].string!
let expiresIn = json["expires_in"].string
}
And then, I use accessToken and tokenType for authorization
if(refreshToken != nil)
{
let headersCust = ["Authorization" : "\(accessToken) \(tokenType)"]
print(headersCust)
Alamofire.request(.GET, "http://goodies.co.id/api/v1/customer/profile/", headers: headersCust, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in {}
Usually this problem is caused by Redirection. Using some networking debugging tool like Proxyman helps you to understand if this is a case; if so :
this is Alamofire 5(AF 5) solution:
let headers: [String:String] = [...]
let params: [String: Any] = [...]
let url = URL(...)
let redirector = Redirector(behavior: Redirector.Behavior.modify({ (task, urlRequest, resp) in
var urlRequest = urlRequest
headers.forEach { header in
urlRequest.addValue(header.value, forHTTPHeaderField: header.key)
}
return urlRequest
}))
//use desired request func of alamofire and your desired enconding
AF.request(url, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers)
.responseJSON { response in
//handleDataResponse...
}.redirect(using: redirector)
I hope you are using the latest Alamofire so here is the code for .GET Request:
let headers = [
"Authorization": "Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==",
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
]
Alamofire.request(.GET, "https://httpbin.org/get", headers: headers)
.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
}
Reference: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire
Try this out! And make sure you are sending the proper headers.
how is it possible to send a POST request with a simple string in the HTTP body with Alamofire in my iOS app?
As default Alamofire needs parameters for a request:
Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://mywebsite.example/post-request", parameters: ["foo": "bar"])
These parameters contain key-value-pairs. But I don't want to send a request with a key-value string in the HTTP body.
I mean something like this:
Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://mywebsite.example/post-request", body: "myBodyString")
Your example Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://mywebsite.example/post-request", parameters: ["foo": "bar"]) already contains "foo=bar" string as its body.
But if you really want string with custom format. You can do this:
Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://mywebsite.example/post-request", parameters: [:], encoding: .Custom({
(convertible, params) in
var mutableRequest = convertible.URLRequest.copy() as NSMutableURLRequest
mutableRequest.HTTPBody = "myBodyString".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
return (mutableRequest, nil)
}))
Note: parameters should not be nil
UPDATE (Alamofire 4.0, Swift 3.0):
In Alamofire 4.0 API has changed. So for custom encoding we need value/object which conforms to ParameterEncoding protocol.
extension String: ParameterEncoding {
public func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
var request = try urlRequest.asURLRequest()
request.httpBody = data(using: .utf8, allowLossyConversion: false)
return request
}
}
Alamofire.request("http://mywebsite.example/post-request", method: .post, parameters: [:], encoding: "myBody", headers: [:])
You can do this:
I created a separated request Alamofire object.
Convert string to Data
Put in httpBody the data
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: url)!)
request.httpMethod = HTTPMethod.post.rawValue
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let pjson = attendences.toJSONString(prettyPrint: false)
let data = (pjson?.data(using: .utf8))! as Data
request.httpBody = data
Alamofire.request(request).responseJSON { (response) in
print(response)
}
If you use Alamofire, it is enough to set encoding type to URLEncoding.httpBody
With that, you can send your data as a string in the httpbody although you defined it as json in your code.
It worked for me..
Updated for Badr Filali's question:
var url = "http://..."
let _headers : HTTPHeaders = ["Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]
let params : Parameters = ["grant_type":"password","username":"mail","password":"pass"]
let url = NSURL(string:"url" as String)
request(url, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: URLEncoding.httpBody, headers: _headers).responseJSON(
completionHandler: { response in response
let jsonResponse = response.result.value as! NSDictionary
if jsonResponse["access_token"] != nil
{
access_token = String(describing: jsonResponse["accesstoken"]!)
}
})
I modified #Silmaril's answer to extend Alamofire's Manager.
This solution uses EVReflection to serialize an object directly:
//Extend Alamofire so it can do POSTs with a JSON body from passed object
extension Alamofire.Manager {
public class func request(
method: Alamofire.Method,
_ URLString: URLStringConvertible,
bodyObject: EVObject)
-> Request
{
return Manager.sharedInstance.request(
method,
URLString,
parameters: [:],
encoding: .Custom({ (convertible, params) in
let mutableRequest = convertible.URLRequest.copy() as! NSMutableURLRequest
mutableRequest.HTTPBody = bodyObject.toJsonString().dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
return (mutableRequest, nil)
})
)
}
}
Then you can use it like this:
Alamofire.Manager.request(.POST, endpointUrlString, bodyObject: myObjectToPost)
Based on Illya Krit's answer

Xcode Version 10.2.1 (10E1001)
Swift 5
Alamofire 4.8.2
Solution
import Alamofire
struct BodyStringEncoding: ParameterEncoding {
private let body: String
init(body: String) { self.body = body }
func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
guard var urlRequest = urlRequest.urlRequest else { throw Errors.emptyURLRequest }
guard let data = body.data(using: .utf8) else { throw Errors.encodingProblem }
urlRequest.httpBody = data
return urlRequest
}
}
extension BodyStringEncoding {
enum Errors: Error {
case emptyURLRequest
case encodingProblem
}
}
extension BodyStringEncoding.Errors: LocalizedError {
var errorDescription: String? {
switch self {
case .emptyURLRequest: return "Empty url request"
case .encodingProblem: return "Encoding problem"
}
}
}
Usage
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: nil, encoding: BodyStringEncoding(body: text), headers: headers).responseJSON { response in
print(response)
}
If you want to post string as raw body in request
return Alamofire.request(.POST, "http://mywebsite.com/post-request" , parameters: [:], encoding: .Custom({
(convertible, params) in
let mutableRequest = convertible.URLRequest.copy() as! NSMutableURLRequest
let data = ("myBodyString" as NSString).dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
mutableRequest.HTTPBody = data
return (mutableRequest, nil)
}))
I have done it for array from strings. This solution is adjusted for string in body.
The "native" way from Alamofire 4:
struct JSONStringArrayEncoding: ParameterEncoding {
private let myString: String
init(string: String) {
self.myString = string
}
func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
var urlRequest = urlRequest.urlRequest
let data = myString.data(using: .utf8)!
if urlRequest?.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") == nil {
urlRequest?.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
}
urlRequest?.httpBody = data
return urlRequest!
}
}
And then make your request with:
Alamofire.request("your url string", method: .post, parameters: [:], encoding: JSONStringArrayEncoding.init(string: "My string for body"), headers: [:])
I've used answer of #afrodev as reference. In my case I take parameter to my function as string that have to be posted in request. So, here is the code:
func defineOriginalLanguage(ofText: String) {
let text = ofText
let stringURL = basicURL + "identify?version=2018-05-01"
let url = URL(string: stringURL)
var request = URLRequest(url: url!)
request.httpMethod = HTTPMethod.post.rawValue
request.setValue("text/plain", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpBody = text.data(using: .utf8)
Alamofire.request(request)
.responseJSON { response in
print(response)
}
}
func paramsFromJSON(json: String) -> [String : AnyObject]?
{
let objectData: NSData = (json.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding))!
var jsonDict: [ String : AnyObject]!
do {
jsonDict = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(objectData, options: .MutableContainers) as! [ String : AnyObject]
return jsonDict
} catch {
print("JSON serialization failed: \(error)")
return nil
}
}
let json = Mapper().toJSONString(loginJSON, prettyPrint: false)
Alamofire.request(.POST, url + "/login", parameters: paramsFromJSON(json!), encoding: .JSON)
My case, posting alamofire with content-type: "Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded", I had to change encoding of alampfire post request
from : JSONENCODING.DEFAULT
to: URLEncoding.httpBody
here:
let url = ServicesURls.register_token()
let body = [
"UserName": "Minus28",
"grant_type": "password",
"Password": "1a29fcd1-2adb-4eaa-9abf-b86607f87085",
"DeviceNumber": "e9c156d2ab5421e5",
"AppNotificationKey": "test-test-test",
"RegistrationEmail": email,
"RegistrationPassword": password,
"RegistrationType": 2
] as [String : Any]
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: body, encoding: URLEncoding.httpBody , headers: setUpHeaders()).log().responseJSON { (response) in
let parameters = ["foo": "bar"]
// All three of these calls are equivalent
AF.request("https://httpbin.org/post", method: .post, parameters: parameters)
AF.request("https://httpbin.org/post", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoder: URLEncodedFormParameterEncoder.default)
AF.request("https://httpbin.org/post", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoder: URLEncodedFormParameterEncoder(destination: .httpBody))
Xcode 8.X , Swift 3.X
Easy Use;
let params:NSMutableDictionary? = ["foo": "bar"];
let ulr = NSURL(string:"http://mywebsite.com/post-request" as String)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: ulr! as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let data = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params!, options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions.prettyPrinted)
let json = NSString(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue)
if let json = json {
print(json)
}
request.httpBody = json!.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue);
Alamofire.request(request as! URLRequestConvertible)
.responseJSON { response in
// do whatever you want here
print(response.request)
print(response.response)
print(response.data)
print(response.result)
}
