I am looking to integrate Foursquare with a project for iOS using Swift. Would it be a wiser solution to use SwiftyJson with the Foursquare API or to use the das-quadrant API. I ask because I find very little information regarding Foursquare API. To add to the question i am using Swift2.0 would it be better to just use bare swift?
Also can i ask why SwiftyJson makes mention of wrapping another API called AlamoFire. Both APIs seem to perform the same task?

Which way is most used by ios Developer Alamofire or default API Call by Swift
It very much depends on personal preferences... I like Alamofire (and RxAlamofire) but I suggest that you give both implementations a go to find what you like the best.
I've recently installed Walmart's API into my iOS app. The app's purpose is for the user to search for items using Walmart's API and then display the queried items to the user. However I am having a hard time finding any examples on how to use Walmart's API with Xcode and Swift language. Was curious if anyone could point me in the direction of how to properly use the API while using Swift language or if anyone has experience using the Walmart API in Xcode? I feel like it shouldn't be hard to accomplish what I am trying to do but right now I am a bit lost. All help and advice is appreciated in advance! Thanks.
Whenever An API is Created The Author gives out a Documentation, about the usage of the API, Requests Parameters etc.
So, Go through the Documentation of Your Needed API,
Once the Requests Are made in-app, they Generally respond you in JSON, XML etc.
Using these Incoming data you can Populate data in your APP
Can we able to get information from weather app like temperature and other stuff programmatically. Do we have any framework in IOS or should we use apis from Google or Yahoo.
Nothing is built into the iOS SDK directly, if that's what you are asking.
You'll either need to use API's from Google or Yahoo or Weather Underground (wunderground.com), or you might be able to use third party frameworks that folks have made available publicly or commercially.
If it helps you, here is a sample GitHub project that uses Wunderground API's.
I also had a similar query. I found the OpenWeatherMap API to be very helpful. I wrote a simple wrapper for it so that you can manipulate weather data directly using dot notation.
