I try to program in swift and I have to retrieve a json file from internet. I have the link url but I really do not know how to do it. I used the link http://www.learnswiftonline.com/mini-tutorials/how-to-download-and-read-json/. But I have errors on let urlRequest and let session. Can you help me please.
my code is:
let requestURL: NSURL = NSURL(string: "https://opendata.paris.fr/api/records/1.0/search/?dataset=mobilierstationnementparis2011&facet=info&facet=libelle")!
let urlRequest: NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: requestURL)
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(urlRequest) {
(data, response, error) -> Void in
let httpResponse = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
let statusCode = httpResponse.statusCode
if (statusCode == 200) {
print("Everyone is fine, file downloaded successfully.")
}
}
I used the code of this website: http://www.learnswiftonline.com/mini-tutorials/how-to-download-and-read-json/
You probably just need to update the code for Swift 3
let urlRequest:URLRequest = URLRequest(url: requestURL)
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = session.dataTask(with: urlRequest) {
(data, response, error) -> Void in
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
let statusCode = httpResponse.statusCode
if (statusCode == 200) {
print("Everyone is fine, file downloaded successfully.")
}
}
task.resume()

I'm trying to use this weather api https://rapidapi.com/interzoid/api/us-weather-by-zip-code/endpoints in my xcode project with swift. They provide me with the code
import Foundation
let headers = [
"x-rapidapi-host": "us-weather-by-zip-code.p.rapidapi.com",
"x-rapidapi-key": "my api key"
]
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: "https://us-weather-by-zip-code.p.rapidapi.com/getweatherzipcode?zip=11214")! as URL,
cachePolicy: .useProtocolCachePolicy,
timeoutInterval: 10.0)
request.httpMethod = "GET"
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers
let session = URLSession.shared
let dataTask = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
print(error)
} else {
let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse
print(httpResponse)
}
})
dataTask.resume()
After running it I get the response headers but I wish to get the reponse body which is the json. I'm still pretty new to this and hope you can help.
You need to parse the response. The JSONSerialization class method jsonObject(with:options:) returns a value of type Any and throws an error if the data couldn’t be parsed.
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])

P.S. I'm not a Swift expert but here to help you.
I am new to swift and doing a project in swift 4.0 to acquire data form Fitbit API and got a Strange problem, my url task does not send any urlrequest any more but skip all the code until task.resume, and do not give anything back. Can anyone helps me plz. The code is shown below
import UIKit
class FitbitAPI{
static let sharedInstance : FitbitAPI = FitbitAPI()
var parsedJson : [Any]? = nil
func authorize(with token: String){
let accessToken = token
let baseURL = URL(string: "https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/steps/date/today/1m.json")
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url:baseURL!)
let bodydata = "access_token=\(String(describing: accessToken))"
request.httpMethod = "GET"
request.setValue("Bearer \(String(describing: accessToken))", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
request.httpBody = bodydata.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {[weak self] (data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let data = data, error == nil{
do {
self?.parsedJson = (try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [Any] )
print(String(describing: self?.parsedJson))
}catch _{
print("Received not-well-formatted JSON")
}
}
if let response = response {
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
}
As #Larme implied in his comment, all of that code between the let task = line and the task.resume() line is a callback. Meaning it won't get called until the task completes. Put breakpoints inside of that callback (like on your if let error = error line), and see if they get hit.
ALso, your URL task is a local variable in this method. That means it's entirely possible that its getting released from memory right at the end of this method, before the callback can even be executed. You'll need a reference to the task outside of the method if you want to guarantee that it stays alive in memory long enough to hit the completion callback.

Say you have an application that access a server? How would you handle getting new data from the server?
You might feel surprised to have received so many vote-downs. The reason is that you have not provided any information concerning what you have tried to solve the problem.
Since you have not provided any specifics either, I'll assume you want some basically structured data (e.g. JSON) to send/retrieve from server.
Following code will let you send GET/POST/PUT requests and handle it easily.
public enum RESTMethod:String {
case get = "GET"
case post = "POST"
case put = "PUT"
}
public func sendRequest(_ url: String,
method: RESTMethod,
headers: [String : String],
parameters: [String : Any],
completionHandler: #escaping (Data?, URLResponse?, Error?) -> Void) -> URLSessionTask! {
let requestURL: URL
if method == .get {
let parameterString = parameters.stringFromHttpParameters()
requestURL = URL(string:"\(url)?\(parameterString)")!
} else {
requestURL = URL(string: url)!
}
var request = URLRequest(url: requestURL)
request.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers
request.httpMethod = method.rawValue
if method == .post {
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters)
request.httpBody = jsonData
}
request.timeoutInterval = 60
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
completionHandler(data,response,error)
}
task.resume()
return task
}
extension Dictionary {
/// Build string representation of HTTP parameter dictionary of keys and objects
func stringFromHttpParameters() -> String {
let parameterArray = self.map { (key, value) -> String in
let percentEscapedKey = (key as! String).addingPercentEncodingForURLQueryValue()!
let percentEscapedValue = (value as? String ?? "\(value)").addingPercentEncodingForURLQueryValue()!
return "\(percentEscapedKey)=\(percentEscapedValue)"
}
return parameterArray.joined(separator: "&")
}
}
Usage:
sendRequest("http://yourserver",
method: .get, // .post or .put
headers: [],
parameters: [],
completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in
// Handle response here
})

How can I get the Data from NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest
(2 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm trying to post from swift to php and then return json encoded data back to swift.
However, print(task.response) is nil. My link does what it is supposed to but my app still responds with nil. Any idea why?
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "https://www.flashkase.com/API/createAccount.php")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let postString = "username=frogg222"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse where httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
let responseString = String(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
}
task.resume()
print(task.response)
And my PHP file
<?php
include($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/inc/database.php");
$arr = [];
$arr[] = 'Reporting for duty';
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
$arr[] = 'Post received';
$arr[] = $_POST['username'];
}
echo json_encode($arr);
?>
Update: How can I check for data after completion? If I uncomment sleep(3) it will display results...but that's obviously not ideal.
func postToServer(postURL: String, postString: String) {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: postURL)!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request){
data, response, error in
print("\(data), \(response), \(error)")
}
task.resume()
//sleep(3)
}
let sendURL: String = "https://www.flashkase.com/API/createAccount.php"
let sendData: String = "username=frogg222&email=fake123#gmail.com&password=fake1234"
postToServer(sendURL,postString: sendData)
dataTaskWithRequest is an asynchronous operation. Printing the response code immediately after the task starts will obviously print nil, as it hasn't had time to get a value. The completion handler already has a response object you can use, so inside your completion handler, call print(response) to see the properties and try to get a response code.
Problem
I would like to use the MailGun service to send emails from a pure Swift app.
Research So Far
As I understand it, there are two methods to send an email via MailGun. One is to email MailGun with the emails, and MailGun will redirect it (See Send via SMTP). That will, as I understand it, not work, as iOS cannot programatically automatically send mail, and must use methods that require user intervention. As such, I should use the API directly. As I understand it, I need to open a URL to do this, and so I should use some form of NSURLSession, as per this SO answer
Code
MailGun provides documentation for Python, which is as follows:
def send_simple_message():
return requests.post(
"https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox(Personal info).mailgun.org/messages",
auth=("api", "key-(Personal info)"),
data={"from": "Excited User <(Personal info)>",
"to": ["bar#example.com", "(Personal info)"],
"subject": "Hello",
"text": "Testing some Mailgun awesomness!"})
with (Personal info) being substituted for keys/information/emails.
Question
How do I do that in Swift?
Thanks!
In python, the auth is being passed in the header.
You have to do a http post request, passing both the header and the body.
This is a working code:
func test() {
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox(Personal info).mailgun.org/messages")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let data = "from: Excited User <(Personal info)>&to: [bar#example.com,(Personal info)]&subject:Hello&text:Testinggsome Mailgun awesomness!"
request.HTTPBody = data.dataUsingEncoding(NSASCIIStringEncoding)
request.setValue("key-(Personal info)", forHTTPHeaderField: "api")
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.URL!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
people are getting 400 or 401 errors because none of the other answers construct the url correctly. here is some code that works in swift 5 and iOS15:
func sendEmail() {
// variablize our https path with API key, recipient and message text
let mailgunAPIPath = "https://api:YOUR_API_KEY#api.mailgun.net/v3/YOUR_DOMAIN/messages?"
let emailRecipient = "RECIPIENT#EMAIL.COM"
let emailMessage = "Testing%20email%20sender%20variables"
// Create a session and fill it with our request
let session = URLSession.shared
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: NSURL(string: mailgunAPIPath + "from=USER#YOUR_DOMAIN&to=\(emailRecipient)&subject=A%20New%20Test%21&text=\(emailMessage)")! as URL)
// POST and report back with any errors and response codes
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.url!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! HTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
requests.post sends an HTTP POST request, encoding key/value pairs as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. You need to do the same.
convert the set of key-value pairs into application/x-www-form-urlencoded as per How to escape the HTTP params in Swift
compose the request using the resulting string for data & send it as per iOS : http Post using swift
I spent hours trying to get the selected answer working, but to no avail.
Although I was finally able to get this working properly with a large HTTP response. I put the full path into Keys.plist so that I can upload my code to github and broke out some of the arguments into variables so I can have them programmatically set later down the road.
// Email the FBO with desired information
// Parse our Keys.plist so we can use our path
var keys: NSDictionary?
if let path = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("Keys", ofType: "plist") {
keys = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: path)
}
if let dict = keys {
// variablize our https path with API key, recipient and message text
let mailgunAPIPath = dict["mailgunAPIPath"] as? String
let emailRecipient = "bar#foo.com"
let emailMessage = "Testing%20email%20sender%20variables"
// Create a session and fill it with our request
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: mailgunAPIPath! + "from=FBOGo%20Reservation%20%3Cscheduler#<my domain>.com%3E&to=reservations#<my domain>.com&to=\(emailRecipient)&subject=A%20New%20Reservation%21&text=\(emailMessage)")!)
// POST and report back with any errors and response codes
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
}
if let response = response {
print("url = \(response.URL!)")
print("response = \(response)")
let httpResponse = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
print("response code = \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
})
task.resume()
}
The Mailgun Path is in Keys.plist as a string called mailgunAPIPath with the value:
https://API:key-<my key>#api.mailgun.net/v3/<my domain>.com/messages?
Hope this offers a solution to anyone else having issues with MailGun and wanting to avoid a 3rd party solution!
