im fairly new and facing a problem about sending api request - swift

Question

I'm fairly new to the swift and I'm facing a problem with Alamofire what I'm trying to do is sending a get request with json body but I'm stuck heres my code:
struct request {
func getMessage(message:String){
let parameters: [String:Any] = [
"message" : [
"text": message,
"type":"text"
],
"type":"message",
"recipentId":"",
"info": [
"token":""
]
]
makeRequest(parameters: parameters)
}
func makeRequest(parameters:[String:Any]){
AF.request("https://bot.ortus4c.com/api/botController/token/5cc1f42e66d0ba0001dbf944",method: .post,parameters: parameters).response{
response in
debugPrint(response)
}
}
after executing this code i get:
[Request]: POST https://bot.ortus4c.com/api/botController/token/5cc1f42e66d0ba0001dbf944
[Request Body]:
info%5Btoken%5D=&message%5Btype%5D=text&message%5Btext%5D=Karakter&recipentId=&type=message
[Response]:
[Status Code]: 415
[Headers]:
Accept: application/json
Content-Length: 0

[Response Body]:
None
[Data]: None
[Network Duration]: 0.3303520679473877s
[Serialization Duration]: 0.0s
[Result]: success(nil)
i dont get any result body compared to what expect when i send this request over postman:
"result": {
"messages": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Karakter Analizine Hoşgeldiniz. Analize başlamak için \"karakter\" yazınız"
},
{
"type": "text",
"text": "Test"
}
],
"tag": [
"start",
"finish"
],
"conversation_id": "5e63f302dc4bec0001883f01",
"intent_name": "Default Karakter",
"intent_id": "5ccb46ef66d0ba0001dbfcdf",
"intent_score": null,
"current_flow_id": "ee52db21-dae1-4587-80cd-7649798dddce1583608578222"
}
so how can i send this post request with this given body below:
let parameters: [String:Any] = [
"message" : [
"text": message,
"type":"text"
],
"type":"message",
"recipentId":"",
"info": [
"token":""
]
]
Now i have sent the request and got a body looking like this:
"result": {
"messages": [
{
"extra": {},
"question": "Adınız ?",
"type": "text",
"values": [
{
"text": ""
}
],
"askCount": 1,
"text": "Adınız ?",
"waitUserInput": true
}
],
"tag": [
"start",
"p_firstName",
1
],
"conversation_id": "5e63ffa0dc4bec0001883f10",
"intent_name": "Karakter Analizi",
"intent_id": "5cc20ae266d0ba0001dbf946",
"intent_score": "62.0",
"current_flow_id": "62ac3ac8-0cd7-43e5-b92b-f119d49c40d41583611808850"
}
how can i print the question variable to a label on my screen ?

Answer 1

Response code 415 means Unsupported Media Type and the Accept header of the response lets you know that the sever expects data to be sent as JSON. All you have to do is to let Alamofire know that it should encode parameters as JSON in the request body
AF.request("https://bot.ortus4c.com/api/botController/token/5cc1f42e66d0ba0001dbf944",
method: .post,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default).response { response in
debugPrint(response)
}

Answer 2

you need to mention the encoding type as well while sending request. since your parameters data is json add encoding parameter as encoding: JSONEncoding.default
for example i have used as:
manager.request(url, method: httpMethod,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default,
headers: configuredHeader)
.validate(statusCode: 200..<300)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { [weak self] response in
self?.handleNetworkResponse(response: response, networkCompletionHandler: networkCompletionHandler)
})
