I have done my Post-request but I am unsure about how to make it possible to send a full question and to get the most common answers back to my app.
I am in such a big need of this code in my program so would love to get some examples on how to make it work
Have tried to right the question into the parameters with a "+" instead of space which resulted into nothing.
#IBAction func GetAnswer(_ sender: Any) {
let myUrl = URL(string: "http://www.google.com/search?q=");
var request = URLRequest(url:myUrl!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let postString = questionAsked;
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8);
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data: Data?, response: URLResponse?, error: Error?) in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(String(describing: error))")
return
}
print("response = \(String(describing: response))")
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .mutableContainers) as? NSDictionary
if let parseJSON = json {
let answer = parseJSON[" Answer "] as? String
self.AnswerView.text = ("Anwer: \(String(describing: answer))")
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
task.resume()
}
You do not use google.com/search, please check the api documentation
Paste following in Playground, should give a good start
struct Constants {
static let apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
static let bundleId = "YOUR_IOS_APP_BUNDLE_ID"
static let searchEngineId = "YOUR_SEARCH_ENGINE_ID"
}
func googleSearch(term: String, callback:#escaping ([(title: String, url: String)]?) -> Void) {
let urlString = String(format: "https://www.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1?q=%#&cx=%#&key=%#", term, Constants.searchEngineId, Constants.apiKey)
let encodedUrl = urlString.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryAllowed)
guard let url = URL(string: encodedUrl ?? urlString) else {
print("invalid url \(urlString)")
return
}
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: url, cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy, timeoutInterval: 10)
request.httpMethod = "GET"
request.setValue(Constants.bundleId, forHTTPHeaderField: "X-Ios-Bundle-Identifier")
let session = URLSession.shared
let datatask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) { (data, response, error) in
guard
error == nil,
let data = data,
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .allowFragments) as? [String : Any]
else {
// error handing here
callback(nil)
return
}
guard let items = json["items"] as? [[String : Any]], items.count > 0 else {
print("no results")
return
}
callback(items.map { ($0["title"] as! String, $0["formattedUrl"] as! String) })
}
datatask.resume()
}
Usage
googleSearch(term: "George Bush") { results in
print(results ?? [])
}
Create a new search engine using following url
https://cse.google.com/cse/create/new
If you would like search entire web, use following steps
edit your engine using https://cse.google.com/cse/setup/basic?cx=SEARCH_ENGINE_ID
remove any pages listed under Sites to search
turn on Search the entire web
I'm new here, so please bear with me. I have a Master-Detail app, and in the DetailViewController.swift file, here's the configureView func where it calls a web view to open a web page.
It's complaining on the let request = URLRequest(url:url) line because url variable is defined as a string. I've tried everything but it won't work.
By the way, MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString is an array of strings.
func configureView() {
// Update the user interface for the detail item.
if let detail: AnyObject = detailItem {
if let myWebview = webView {
let url = MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
myWebview.scalesPageToFit = true
myWebview.loadRequest(request)
}
}
}
You can either pass an URL object or create an URL object from the string that you´re passing. Anyhow you need to convert your string into an URL.
if let url = URL(string: MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString) {
// use url in here
}
Update:
Use this for your example:
if let url = URL(string: MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString) {
// use url in here
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
}
Update 2:
You have your Struct which is an array of strings. Then you need to do this to get the value you want:
struct MyVariables {
static var urlString: [String]? = ["something"]
}
if let str = MyVariables.urlString?.first, let url = URL(string: str) {
// use url in here
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
print(url)
}
Right now I´m using MyVariables.urlString?.first, in the future if you want another index then you need to get that instead.
This is what I did to make it work:
let stringRepresentation = MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString?.joined(separator:"")
print ("urlString", MasterViewController.MyVariables.urlString)
print ("sR",stringRepresentation)
let url = NSURL(string: stringRepresentation as! String)
let request = URLRequest(url: url! as URL)
myWebview.scalesPageToFit = true
myWebview.loadRequest(request)
I have the following URL string:

How do I go about extracting the m3u8 url from the above string? I want it to look like this once done:

I have the following code that stops at this point, as below:
extension ViewController {

let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in

So, I found the answer. I'll post it just incase someone needs it.
Here you go: Extract the M3U8 video link from a YouTube live channel in Swift 3
I'd like to point out that Code Different's answer is more elequent than mine. Give them both a try and see what fits your project needs :)

Your sample data is tortuously long but did not help clarify your question in any way. It's better to come up with Minimum, Complete and Verifiable example.
Now to your question, use URLComponents to extract data from the URL:
// Assuming feedback is what you get back from YouTube
let feedback = "partnerid=27&root_ve_type=&c=WEB&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fhqdefault_live.jpg&of=GC6OCn1lTVgpgJyrp2hYjw&hlsdvr=1&eventid=FEx5We_CJMut4QSH_5OYCw&ypc_license_checker_module=1&auth_timeout=21600000&videostats_playback_base_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs.youtube.com&token=WIs368zOOjdA6jb7Wo5HIeCUIjDqF6aTm40Qf9Lm8xY%3D&csn=FEx5We_CJMut4QSH_5OYCw&plid=AAVVQxkmPLDdDSm-&allow_ratings=1&live_playback=1&live_default_broadcast=1&fexp=9422596%2C9431012%2C9434289%2C9441386%2C9446364%2C9449243%2C9457141%2C9460072%2C9461821%2C9463594%2C9464546%2C9465833%2C9466793%2C9466795%2C9466797%2C9466851%2C9467217%2C9468797%2C9468799%2C9468805%2C9471755%2C9475953%2C9477113%2C9477691%2C9478524%2C9478670%2C9480034%2C9480475%2C9480535%2C9480795%2C9481684%2C9482647%2C9483080%2C9483701%2C9484209%2C9484514%2C9484643%2C9484706%2C9485999&fresca_module=1&idpj=-7&delay=5&iurlmq=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fmqdefault_live.jpg&avg_rating=4.53108348135&ypc_ad_indicator=4&remarketing_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleads.g.doubleclick.net%2Fpagead%2Fviewthroughconversion%2F962985656%2F%3Fbackend%3Dplayer_vars%26cname%3D1%26cver%3DAS3%26foc_id%3DSrZ3UV4jOidv8ppoVuvW9Q%26label%3Dfollowon_view%26ptype%3Dno_rmkt&innertube_client_version=1.20170718&video_verticals=%5B16%2C+396%5D&ldpj=-27&title=euronews+LIVE&tmi=1&watermark=%2Chttps%3A%2F%2Fs.ytimg.com%2Fyts%2Fimg%2Fwatermark%2Fyoutube_watermark-vflHX6b6E.png%2Chttps%3A%2F%2Fs.ytimg.com%2Fyts%2Fimg%2Fwatermark%2Fyoutube_hd_watermark-vflAzLcD6.png&cver=1.20170725&iv3_module=1&no_get_video_log=1&has_cc=False&thumbnail_url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fdefault.jpg&iv_invideo_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fannotations_invideo%3Fcap_hist%3D1%26video_id%3DVmxIA8L3Xz8%26ei%3DFEx5We_CJMut4QSH_5OYCw&author=euronews+%28in+English%29&status=ok&ptk=youtube_none&fresca_preroll=1&iurlsd=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fsddefault_live.jpg&length_seconds=1800&view_count=159557&is_listed=1&vm=CAEQABgE&enable_cardio_before_playback=1&dashmpd=https%3A%2F%2Fmanifest.googlevideo.com%2Fapi%2Fmanifest%2Fdash%2Fas%2Ffmp4_audio_clear%252Cfmp4_sd_hd_clear%2Fgcr%2Fus%2Fexpire%2F1501143156%2Fsignature%2F7779193FA964EC075A94C62E6720B2380AEE39A0.B546BFA286574BA5D7BE116159ACC45130650938%2Fkey%2Fyt6%2Fip%2F72.239.175.191%2Fplaylist_type%2FDVR%2Fitag%2F0%2Fipbits%2F0%2Fsource%2Fyt_live_broadcast%2Frequiressl%2Fyes%2Fhfr%2F1%2Fsparams%2Fas%252Cgcr%252Chfr%252Cid%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Citag%252Cplaylist_type%252Crequiressl%252Csource%252Cexpire%2Fid%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8.0&hlsvp=https%3A%2F%2Fmanifest.googlevideo.com%2Fapi%2Fmanifest%2Fhls_variant%2Fgcr%2Fus%2Fkey%2Fyt6%2Fip%2F72.239.175.191%2Fplaylist_type%2FDVR%2Fexpire%2F1501143156%2Fitag%2F0%2Fsource%2Fyt_live_broadcast%2Fmaudio%2F1%2Fid%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8.0%2Fsparams%2Fgcr%252Cgo%252Cid%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Citag%252Cmaudio%252Cplaylist_type%252Crequiressl%252Csource%252Cexpire%2Fipbits%2F0%2Fgo%2F1%2Frequiressl%2Fyes%2Fsignature%2FB225396C754E6783728F71F0C1AD4CFE9AFC3839.B2C6E2FFCB07B136D4AECFA5A8F001DFEC084543%2Ffile%2Findex.m3u8×tamp=1501121556&iurlmaxres=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fmaxresdefault_live.jpg&use_cipher_signature=False&live_chunk_readahead=3&iv_load_policy=1&live_storyboard_spec=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fsb%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fstoryboard_live_60_3x3_b0%2FM%24M.jpg%3Frs%3DAOn4CLBjUwFPDoNQCv904oDJpmFEM5xg7g%23106%2360%233%233&ucid=UCSrZ3UV4jOidv8ppoVuvW9Q&allow_embed=1&pltype=contentugclive&short_view_count_text=159K+views&fmt_list=&keywords=&enable_cardio=1&video_id=VmxIA8L3Xz8&streaminglib_module=1&url_encoded_fmt_stream_map=&cl=162900125&account_playback_token=QUFFLUhqbl9LME8tdzdIT1VJaG1qRk1VZ3U1OFNnMW1PZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttY0dMZWZJdGtkUVNqTjlFWHpubjE2Rjg5OGxlU21fUndLa3Y0THoyMWpGa3ZXWDN2R3JkR1JHS2tEcm51OXhTbTFqYlNGTHVKY1hrOWllcFlHRU9NNHFZTjZNNGRZQjZ1eFc2VGxjMHpScWFDWnUxdw%3D%3D&muted=0&iurlhq=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FVmxIA8L3Xz8%2Fhqdefault_live.jpg"

I'm trying to set cookie in my HTTP request
and I thought that below code would work:
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
request.setValue("key=value;", forHTTPHeaderField: "Cookie")
but this code is not working.
does anyone have idea how to set it?
Updated answer for Swift 3
You want to look at HTTPCookieStorage.
// First
let jar = HTTPCookieStorage.shared
let cookieHeaderField = ["Set-Cookie": "key=value"] // Or ["Set-Cookie": "key=value, key2=value2"] for multiple cookies
let cookies = HTTPCookie.cookies(withResponseHeaderFields: cookieHeaderField, for: url)
jar.setCookies(cookies, for: url, mainDocumentURL: url)
// Then
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
Original answer for swift 2
You want to look at NSHTTPCookieStorage.
// First
let jar = NSHTTPCookieStorage.sharedHTTPCookieStorage()
let cookieHeaderField = ["Set-Cookie": "key=value"] // Or ["Set-Cookie": "key=value, key2=value2"] for multiple cookies
let cookies = NSHTTPCookie.cookiesWithResponseHeaderFields(cookieHeaderField, forURL: url)
jar.setCookies(cookies, forURL: url, mainDocumentURL: url)
// Then
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
Swift 5
if let cookie = HTTPCookie(properties: [
.domain: ".my.domain.name.com",
.path: "/",
.name: "myCookieNameKey",
.value: "K324klj23KLJKH223423CookieValueDSFLJ234",
.secure: "FALSE",
.discard: "TRUE"
]) {
HTTPCookieStorage.shared.setCookie(cookie)
print("Cookie inserted: \(cookie)")
}
This may be useful for some one(Swift 5).
Avoid using NSMutableURLRequest in Swift. Instead follow the below snippet:
func request(with url: URL) -> URLRequest {
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
guard let cookies = HTTPCookieStorage.shared.cookies(for: url) else {
return request
}
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = HTTPCookie.requestHeaderFields(with: cookies)
return request
}
Here is how it works in Swift 3.x after you set cookie using HTTPCookieStorage
let cookies=HTTPCookieStorage.shared.cookies(for: URL(string: cookieURL)!)
let headers=HTTPCookie.requestHeaderFields(with: cookies!)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: requestURL!)
request.allHTTPHeaderFields=headers
In order to load urls, I tried to connect .loadRequest with webview, but there is not such loadRequest. Is there anyone who knows why this is occurring to me?
func configurationView(){
if let webData: Web = self.detailItem {
if let webView = self.WebView {
let url = NSURL(string: webData.url)
let urlRequest = NSURLRequest(URL: url!)
(here I am trying to dp WebView.loadRequest(urlRequest), but I cannot!)
}
}
}
