Parsing Vimeo Json response in ios - ios

Question

I got this json response
{
"generated_in" = "0.0283";
stat = ok;
videos = {
"on_this_page" = 3;
page = 1;
perpage = 50;
total = 3;
video = (
{
"embed_privacy" = anywhere;
id = 73198189;
"is_hd" = 1;
"is_watchlater" = 0;
license = 0;
"modified_date" = "2013-08-27 01:29:16";
owner = 20303618;
privacy = anybody;
title = Untitled;
"upload_date" = "2013-08-27 00:57:36";
},
{
"embed_privacy" = anywhere;
id = 73197989;
"is_hd" = 0;
"is_watchlater" = 0;
license = 0;
"modified_date" = "2013-08-27 01:24:17";
owner = 20303618;
privacy = anybody;
title = sample2;
"upload_date" = "2013-08-27 00:52:40";
},
{
"embed_privacy" = anywhere;
id = 72961770;
"is_hd" = 0;
"is_watchlater" = 0;
license = 0;
"modified_date" = "2013-08-23 05:57:48";
owner = 20303618;
privacy = anybody;
title = sample;
"upload_date" = "2013-08-23 05:25:44";
}
);
};
}
when i am trying to parse it for the video id.
The technique i used is
i converted that json into NSDictionary jsondata and
NSString *videoid = [[[jsondata objectForKey:#"videos"]valueForKey:#"video"]valueForKey:#"id"];
NSLog(#"video string is %#",videoid);
the result is:
(
73198189,
73197989,
72961770
)
but i am not able to access the normal string functions on that string to retrieve the id's.
it is saying an error unrecognized selector was sent.
Is there a better way to parse that string, i tried google but every post says the same approach.

Answer 1

You not getting a string but an array of strings, the JSON response holds mutiple videos. The code you used will retrieve all the id of all the videos.
You can loop thru the found videos like:
NSArray *videoIdArray = [jsondata valueForKeyPath:#"videos.video.id"];
for(NSString *videoId in videoIdArray) {
NSLog(#"video string is %#",videoId);
}
