Get JSON Data from Array Within an Array - ios

Question

I am trying to figure out how I can get data from a JSON array that is in another array.
Here is the JSON. I'm wanting to get one of the image URLs from photos.

Answer 1

Change loop to
for (NSDictionary *item in json)
{
NSArray *photos = item[#"photos"];
NSDictionary *dict = [photos[0] valueForKeyPath:"photo"];
NSLog(#"original = %#", dict[#"original"]);
name = [item objectForKey:#"name"];
description = [item objectForKey:#"description"];
short_url = [item objectForKey:#"short_url"];
price = [item objectForKey:#"price"];
[nameArray addObject:name];
[descriptionArray addObject:description];
[urlArray addObject:short_url];
[priceArray addObject:price];
}

Answer 2

Change this
NSArray *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:kNilOptions error:&error];
for (NSDictionary *item in json)
{
name = [item objectForKey:#"name"];
description = [item objectForKey:#"description"];
short_url = [item objectForKey:#"short_url"];
price = [item objectForKey:#"price"];
[nameArray addObject:name];
[descriptionArray addObject:description];
[urlArray addObject:short_url];
[priceArray addObject:price];
}
[self.tableView reloadData];
To this
NSdictionary *json = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseData options:kNilOptions error:&error];
name = [json objectForKey:#"name"];
description = [json objectForKey:#"description"];
short_url = [json objectForKey:#"short_url"];
price = [json objectForKey:#"price"];
// this is your photos array
NSArray *photos = [josn objectForKey:#"photos"];
// every object in this array is a dictionary. In your case this array has only one dictionary so
NSDictionary *photosDict = [photos firstObject];
// from here you can access all keys of photosDict
All available keys in your photosDict:
original
large
homepage
medium
small
64w
200w
400w
600w
1000w
64sq
200sq
400sq
