IOS blocks AFNetworking - ios

Question

I am using the AFNetworking to connect to API in my code.
Now I have general things on my view controllers like switches and picker views which will determine what is sent to the API.
So I will need to call the AFNetworking block like this :
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:returncompletedURL];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
operation.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
operation.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:#"text/html"];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
and at the end I use [operation start] to run the block, quite easy!
but I need this in some sort of a method/function so that I can call it and pass arguments over to it as and when a switch is changed or a label is changed. Instead of writing the same block over and over again i want it as a function.
I would use [operation start] in the function to check if a switch is on/off but it does not see it within the function.
If i wrap a method around the AFNetworking block would that bad and I cannot use the RETURN statement within a block.
Generally advice is needed if i have switches and labels and if the user changes any of this then the block needs to be called straight the way to amend the API call.
thanks

I could do something like this, create a method that can return for you value:
Method that you could insert your request.
-(void)callRequestWithParameter:(id)parameter returnState:(void(^)(id response))response{
// here make request
// use parameter to send what you want on request
if (requestSucess){
response(data for return our status);
}
};
//Method for handle request and answer
-(void)requestData:(id)dataParameter {
[ClassName callRequestWithParameter:#(2) returnState: (id response)^{
if(response){
// call some update method like
[self updateItensWithData:data];
}
}
};`
