Authenticate with WhenIWork API using AlmamoFire (Swift) - swift

Question

UPDATED Question:
I got in touch with the WhenIWork Team and discovered that they need the username and password to be passed in the body but with our a form. So I have solved. If you look at the answer below, it works.
Thanks everyone!
I am trying to get the access token from WhenIWork using Swift and Alamofire on Xcode, the json returned Success but says "Application Not Found Error"
I've been looking for documentation from WhenIWork Doc but without success on error code. (They don't have any error in the 1xxx range)
Ideas? I am new to Swift (and coding in general) so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Below is the Terminal answer:
SUCCESS: {
code = 1110;
error = "Application not found";
}
[Request]: POST https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login/
[Response]: <NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x6080000325e0> { URL: https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login/ } { status code: 401, headers {
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers" = "Authorization, Origin, X-Requested-With, W-Date-Format, Content-Type, Accept, W-Token, W-UserId, W-Key, branch";
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods" = "GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS";
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin" = "*";
"Cache-Control" = "no-cache";
Connection = "keep-alive";
"Content-Type" = "application/json";
Date = "Thu, 17 Aug 2017 17:11:08 GMT";
Server = nginx;
"Transfer-Encoding" = Identity;
"X-Database" = ro;
"X-State" = "RequestId: 0f853dd4-836f-11e7-90f4-0242e14cb0c5, LoginId: 0, AccountId: 0";
"X-Timer-Database" = "0.0052359104156494";
"X-Timer-Total" = "0.012078046798706";
} }
Code:
func logInWhenIWork() {
let parameters: Parameters = [
"username": "cxxxx#xxxx.ca",
"password": "xxxxxxx",
"W-Key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxsxx"
]
Alamofire.request("https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseJSON { response in
print(response)
debugPrint(response)
if let json = response.result.value {
print("JSON: \(json)")
} else {
print(response)
}
}

Answer 1

I don't use Alamofire much but I tried the following:
let parameters = ["username":"user#example.com",
"password": "*******"]
let headers = ["W-Key": "iworksoharditsnotfunny"]
var req = Alamofire.request("https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login",
parameters: parameters,
encoding: JSONEncoding.default,
headers: headers)
The request ends up looking like this:
curl -v \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept-Language: en-US;q=1.0" \
-H "User-Agent: Unknown/Unknown (Unknown; build:Unknown; OS X 10.12.6) Alamofire/1.0" \
-H "W-Key: iworksoharditsnotfunny" \
-H "Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=1.0, compress;q=0.5" \
-d "{\"username\":\"user#example.com\",\"password\":\"*******\"}" \
"https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login"
Which seems to pretty much match the example given in the WhenIWork API documentation. I don't have an account so I can't test it directly.

Answer 2

For those of you who wanted the answer. I finally figured it out. Here it is
func logInWhenIWork() {
let url = URL(string: "https://api.wheniwork.com/2/login")!
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST"
urlRequest.allHTTPHeaderFields = ["W-Key": "xxxxxxxxxxx","Content-Type":"application/json"]
let parameters = ["username": "ss#xxx.ca", "password": "sssdsds"]
do {
urlRequest.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: [])
} catch {
// No-op
}
urlRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
Alamofire.request(urlRequest).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(let value):
let json = JSON(value)
// print("JSON: (json)")
let token = json["token"].stringValue
let newUserID = json["users"][0]["id"].int
print(newUserID)
self.wUserID = String(describing: newUserID)
// print(token)
self.wToken = token
if self.wToken != "" {
print("Successfully logged in")
} else {
print("Log In Failed")
}
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
}
