fill multiple nsmutabledictionary with data from API - ios

Question

i saved results from API to nsmutabledictionary. In this API is paging after 15 results (1,2,3, etc).
I need to fill resultDictionary with results from API.
My code:
self.resultDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
self.resultDictionary = [self.api sendDataViaPostAndFormDataWithTwoParameters:#"email" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"email"] parameterTwo:#"heslo" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"heslo"] onUrl:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://***", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"id"], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"token"], page] withMethod:#"POST" success:^(BOOL success) {
} failure:^(NSString *fail) {
NSLog(#"%#", fail);
}];
It works fine - it shows 15 results. But, when i scroll down in tableview and after 15 index load next page in api, it shows next 15 results. I need to join both (30results / old and new).
I tried add entries... but no effect.
Could you help me please?

my rest of code with edit from Ashish
#implementation testingTableViewController {
NSMutableDictionary * resultDictionary;
}
-(void)reloadData:(int)page {
// set selected NO
if ([[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"id"] == NULL) {
loginViewController *login = [[loginViewController alloc] init];
login.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:login animated:NO];
} else {
SHOW_NAVIGATION_BAR
self.api = [[API alloc] init];
self.temp = [self.api sendDataViaPostAndFormDataWithTwoParameters:#"email" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"email"] parameterTwo:#"heslo" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"heslo"] onUrl:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://*****/=&page=%d", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"id"], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"token"], page] withMethod:#"POST" success:^(BOOL success) {
NSLog(#"OK načteno");
} failure:^(NSString *fail) {
NSLog(#"%#", fail);
}];
}
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
resultDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
self.temp = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
[self reloadData:1];
[self.tableView reloadData];
[self.tableView setNeedsLayout];
}
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.tableView registerClass:[TableViewCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"cell"];
self.chatButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
self.commentButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
UIButton *commentButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
commentButton.frame = CGRectMake(15, 0, 20, 20);
[commentButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"chat"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[commentButton addTarget:self action:#selector(page1) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:commentButton];
UIButton *chatButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
chatButton.frame = CGRectMake(65, 0, 20, 20);
[chatButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"like"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[chatButton addTarget:self action:#selector(page2) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:chatButton];
}
-(void)page1 {
[self reloadData:1];
[resultDictionary addEntriesFromDictionary:self.temp];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
-(void)page2 {
[self reloadData:2];
[resultDictionary addEntriesFromDictionary:self.temp];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
When click at first button, result is 15, if i again click on first button, result is still 15 instead 30
Thank you for any response

As per your code
self.resultDictionary = [[NSDictionary alloc] init];
self.resultDictionary = [self.api sendDataViaPostAndFormDataWithTwoParameters:#"email" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"email"] parameterTwo:#"heslo" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"heslo"] onUrl:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://***", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"id"], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"token"], page] withMethod:#"POST" success:^(BOOL success) {
} failure:^(NSString *fail) {
NSLog(#"%#", fail);
}];
You are not using NSMutableDictionary. Create instance of NSMutableDictionary at top of the class.
NSMutableDictionary * resultDictionary;
Initialize it in viewDidLoad method
self.resultDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
Finally in your code for fetching result form server.
NSDictionary *tempDict = [self.api sendDataViaPostAndFormDataWithTwoParameters:#"email" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"email"] parameterTwo:#"heslo" with:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"heslo"] onUrl:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://***", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"id"], [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"token"], page] withMethod:#"POST" success:^(BOOL success) {
[self.resultDictionary addEntriesFromDictionary:tempDict];
} failure:^(NSString *fail) {
NSLog(#"%#", fail);
}];
