So I'm trying to make an app in Swift for which I need to login to the OAuth to retrieve an access token. The API takes the parameters 'grant_type' and 'code'.
I've tried:
let params = ["grant_type":"authorization_code", "code":"123456789"] as Dictionary<String, String>
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://myschool.zportal.nl/api/v3/oauth/token")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: params, options: [])
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: { data, response, error -> Void in
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!) as! Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
print(json)
} catch {
print("error")
}
})
task.resume()
This returns:
["response": {
data = (
);
details = "class org.springframework.web.bind.MissingServletRequestParameterException: Required String parameter 'grant_type' is not present";
endRow = 0;
eventId = 216795;
message = "Internal problems.";
startRow = 0;
status = 500;
totalRows = 0;
}]
This is weird, because I did parse the 'grant_type' parameter, and as the correct value.
It should return something like:
{
"response": {
"status":200,
"message":"",
"startRow":0,
"endRow":27,
"totalRows":27,
"data":[
{
},
...
]
}
}
The standard message format requires a Form URL Encoded body, not a JSON one. Maybe adapt your code as in this Swift article.
Got it working:
#IBAction func sendButtonPressed(_ sender: UIButton) {
let urlString = "https://myschool.zportal.nl/api/v3/oauth/token"
performRequest(urlString: urlString)
}
func performRequest(urlString: String) {
if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = "grant_type=authorization_code&code=1234567890".data(using: .utf8)
let session = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request, completionHandler: { data, response, error -> Void in
//print(response!)
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!) as! Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
print(json)
} catch {
print("error")
}
})
task.resume()
}
}
Not the nicest code but I'll polish it later.
At first I parsed JSON but it turned out I needed to parse a String and turn it into a Data type using: .data(using: .utf8)
Hi i am new to IOS App developement.
My code is
func sendRequest<T: Decodable>(api: String, parameters: [String: String]? = nil, outputBlock: #escaping (T) -> () ) {
guard let url = URL(string: "http://xxyyzz.com/appRegister.php") else {return}
print("hitting : -", url.absoluteString)
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let newparam = ["name": "rr", "pass": "123456", "email": "rr#rr.com", "passConfirm":"123456"]
let httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: newparam)
request.httpBody = httpBody
if let data = request.httpBody, let str = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) {
print(str)
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) { (data, response, error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
Indicator.shared.hideProgressView()
if let err = error {
print(err.localizedDescription)
return
}
guard let data = data else {return}
do {
let obj = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
print(obj ?? "oberrrrr")
}
}
}.resume()
}
and console printed result as per code is below
hitting : - http://xxyyzz.com/appRegister.php
{"email":"rr#rr.com","passConfirm":"123456","name":"rr","pass":"123456"}
{"error":"Please enter all fields."}
url and parameters works well on postman that means their is something missing in my code.
just to answer the problem if anyone else faces this.
this code is fine but the problem was with php web-service as the backend developer was not accepting json values as parameter instead form data was need to send.
So, two types of fix can be made here
accept json at backend by adding :-
$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
$request = json_decode($postdata, true);
send form data instead json
func sendRequest<T: Decodable>(api: String, parameters: [String: Any]? = nil, outputBlock: #escaping (T) -> () ) {
guard let url = URL(string: api) else {return}
print("hitting : -", url.absoluteString)
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
if let parameters = parameters {
request.httpMethod = "POST"
var postArr = [String]()
for(key, value) in parameters
{
postArr.append(key + "=\(value)")
}
let postString = postArr.map { String($0) }.joined(separator: "&")
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8)
if let data = request.httpBody, let str = String(data: data, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8) {
print(str)
}
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
Indicator.shared.hideProgressView()
if let err = error {
print(err.localizedDescription)
return
}
guard let data = data else {return}
do {
let obj = try JSONDecoder().decode(T.self, from: data)
outputBlock(obj)
} catch let jsonErr {
print(jsonErr)
}
}
}.resume()
}
I'm trying to make an HTTP post request with params set in a dictionary here's my dict
let parameters = [
["name": "tag","value": "login"],
["name": "email","value": "s#s.com"],
["name": "password","value": "aaaa"]
]
but I don't to know how to access it in hers's my complete request function
func data_request(_ url:String)
{
let parameter = [
["name": "tag","value": "login"],
["name": "email","value": "s#s.com"],
["name": "password","value": "aaaa"]
]
let url:NSURL = NSURL(string: url)!
let session = URLSession.shared
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: url as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let paramString = parameter?
request.httpBody = paramString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) {
(
data, response, error) in
guard let _:NSData = data as NSData?, let _:URLResponse = response, error == nil else {
print("error")
return
}
if let dataString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8.rawValue)
{
print(dataString)
}
}
task.resume()
}
Need to convert dictionary to json string like below:
let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
After that pass to the http.Body
// insert json data to the request
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.HTTPBody = jsonData
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request){ data, response, error in
if error != nil{
print("Error -> \(error)")
return
}
do {
let result = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: []) as? [String:AnyObject]
print("Result -> \(result)")
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
task.resume()
return task
} catch {
print(error)
}
You need to convert the Dictionary into Data and set it to httpBody
you could solve in this way
let paramData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameter, options: [])
request.httpBody = paramData
In the code below
let bodyData = "?sub=\(id)&name=User&email=test#test.com"
let url = NSURL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get");
let request:NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(url:url as! URL)
request.httpMethod = "GET"
request.httpBody = bodyData.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8);
NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request as URLRequest, queue: OperationQueue.main)
{
(response, data, error) in
if let HTTPResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
let statusCode = HTTPResponse.statusCode
if statusCode == 200 {
// Yes, Do something.
let json = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: [])
if let dictionary = json as? [String: Any] {
let args = dictionary["args"]
NSLog("args:\(args)")
for (key, value) in dictionary{
NSLog("key:\(key) value:\(value)")
}
}
}
}
}
id is a string passed in to the function.
It has valid data returned, but the test site/url also returns in json format any parameters you send it. But this snippet of code seems to not be sending the query parameters defined in bodyData and I can't figure out why.
If a GET request is used the parameters are appended to the URL and an explicit URLRequest is not needed at all.
This code is native Swift 3 and uses contemporary API:
let id = 12
let bodyData = "?sub=\(id)&name=User&email=test#test.com"
let url = URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get" + bodyData)!
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in
if error != nil {
print(error!)
return
}
do {
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: []) as? [String:Any],
let args = json["args"] as? [String:Any] {
print("args:\(args)")
for (key, value) in args{
print("key:\(key) value:\(value)")
}
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
}.resume()
I wonder if it's possible to directly send an array (not wrapped in a dictionary) in a POST request. Apparently the parameters parameter should get a map of: [String: AnyObject]?
But I want to be able to send the following example json:
[
"06786984572365",
"06644857247565",
"06649998782227"
]
You can just encode the JSON with NSJSONSerialization and then build the NSURLRequest yourself. For example, in Swift 3:
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let values = ["06786984572365", "06644857247565", "06649998782227"]
request.httpBody = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: values)
AF.request(request) // Or `Alamofire.request(request)` in prior versions of Alamofire
.responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
if let data = response.data, let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print(responseString)
}
case .success(let responseObject):
print(responseObject)
}
}
For Swift 2, see previous revision of this answer.
For swift 3 and Alamofire 4 I use the following ParametersEncoding and Array extension:
import Foundation
import Alamofire
private let arrayParametersKey = "arrayParametersKey"
/// Extenstion that allows an array be sent as a request parameters
extension Array {
/// Convert the receiver array to a `Parameters` object.
func asParameters() -> Parameters {
return [arrayParametersKey: self]
}
}
/// Convert the parameters into a json array, and it is added as the request body.
/// The array must be sent as parameters using its `asParameters` method.
public struct ArrayEncoding: ParameterEncoding {
/// The options for writing the parameters as JSON data.
public let options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions
/// Creates a new instance of the encoding using the given options
///
/// - parameter options: The options used to encode the json. Default is `[]`
///
/// - returns: The new instance
public init(options: JSONSerialization.WritingOptions = []) {
self.options = options
}
public func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
var urlRequest = try urlRequest.asURLRequest()
guard let parameters = parameters,
let array = parameters[arrayParametersKey] else {
return urlRequest
}
do {
let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: array, options: options)
if urlRequest.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") == nil {
urlRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
}
urlRequest.httpBody = data
} catch {
throw AFError.parameterEncodingFailed(reason: .jsonEncodingFailed(error: error))
}
return urlRequest
}
}
Basically, it converts the array to a Dictionary in order to be accepted as Parameters argument, and then it takes back the array from the dictionary, convert it to JSON Data and adds it as the request body.
Once you have it, you can create request this way:
let values = ["06786984572365", "06644857247565", "06649998782227"]
Alamofire.request(url,
method: .post,
parameters: values.asParameters(),
encoding: ArrayEncoding())
Here is an example of encoding an Array of type Thing to JSON, using a router, and Ogra to do the JSON encoding:
import Foundation
import Alamofire
import Orga
class Thing {
...
}
enum Router: URLRequestConvertible {
static let baseURLString = "http://www.example.com"
case UploadThings([Thing])
private var method: Alamofire.Method {
switch self {
case .UploadThings:
return .POST
}
}
private var path: String {
switch self {
case .UploadThings:
return "upload/things"
}
}
var URLRequest: NSMutableURLRequest {
let r = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: Router.baseURLString)!.URLByAppendingPathComponent(path))
r.HTTPMethod = method.rawValue
switch self {
case .UploadThings(let things):
let custom: (URLRequestConvertible, [String:AnyObject]?) -> (NSMutableURLRequest, NSError?) = {
(convertible, parameters) in
var mutableRequest = convertible.URLRequest.copy() as! NSMutableURLRequest
do {
let jsonObject = things.encode().JSONObject()
let data = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(jsonObject, options: NSJSONWritingOptions.PrettyPrinted)
mutableRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
mutableRequest.HTTPBody = data
return (mutableRequest, nil)
} catch let error as NSError {
return (mutableRequest, error)
}
}
return ParameterEncoding.Custom(custom).encode(r, parameters: nil).0
default:
return r
}
}
}
Swift 2.0
This code below post object array.This code is tested on swift 2.0
func POST(RequestURL: String,postData:[AnyObject]?,successHandler: (String) -> (),failureHandler: (String) -> ()) -> () {
print("POST : \(RequestURL)")
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string:RequestURL)!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
var error: NSError?
do {
request.HTTPBody = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(postData!, options:[])
} catch {
print("JSON serialization failed: \(error)")
}
Alamofire.request(request)
.responseString{ response in
switch response.result {
case .Success:
print(response.response?.statusCode)
print(response.description)
if response.response?.statusCode == 200 {
successHandler(response.result.value!)
}else{
failureHandler("\(response.description)")
}
case .Failure(let error):
failureHandler("\(error)")
}
}
}
#manueGE 's answer is right. I have a similar approach according to alamofire github's instruction:
`
struct JSONDocumentArrayEncoding: ParameterEncoding {
private let array: [Any]
init(array:[Any]) {
self.array = array
}
func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
var urlRequest = urlRequest.urlRequest
let data = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: array, options: [])
if urlRequest!.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") == nil {
urlRequest!.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
}
urlRequest!.httpBody = data
return urlRequest!
}
}
`
Then call this by customize a request instead of using the default one with parameter. Basically discard the parameter, since it is a dictionary.
let headers = getHeaders()
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: (ServerURL + Api))!)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "post"
urlRequest.allHTTPHeaderFields = headers
let jsonArrayencoding = JSONDocumentArrayEncoding(array: documents)
let jsonAryEncodedRequest = try? jsonArrayencoding.encode(urlRequest, with: nil)
request = customAlamofireManager.request(jsonAryEncodedRequest!)
request?.validate{request, response, data in
return .success
}
.responseJSON { /*[unowned self] */(response) -> Void in
...
}
Also, the way to handle error in data is very helpful.
let url = try Router.baseURL.asURL()
// Make Request
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url.appendingPathComponent(path))
urlRequest.httpMethod = "post"
// let dictArray: [[String: Any]] = []
urlRequest = try! JSONEncoding.default.encode(urlRequest, withJSONObject: dictArray)
Something I do in my project to upload a JSON array
func placeOrderApi(getUserId:String,getDateId:String,getTimeID:String,getAddressId:String,getCoupon:String)
{
let data = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: self.arrOfServices, options: [])
let jsonBatch : String = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!
//try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: values)
let params = [
"user_id":getUserId,
"time_id":getTimeID,
"date_id":getDateId,
"address_id":getAddressId,
"services":jsonBatch,
"payment_mode":paymentVia,
"coupon":getCoupon
] as [String : Any]
print(params)
self.objHudShow()
Alamofire.request(BaseViewController.API_URL + "place_order", method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default)
.responseJSON { response in
debugPrint(response)
switch response.result {
case .success (let data):
print(data)
self.objHudHide()
if response.result.value != nil
{
let json : JSON = JSON(response.result.value!)
if json["status"] == true
{
}
else
{
self.view.makeToast(NSLocalizedString(json["msg"].string ?? "", comment: ""), duration: 3.0, position: .bottom)
}
}
break
case .failure:
self.objHudHide()
print("Error in upload:)")
break
}
}
}
There are 2 approach to send send JSON content as parameter.
You can send json as string and your web service will parse it on server.
d["completionDetail"] = "[{"YearOfCompletion":"14/03/2017","Completed":true}]"
You can pass each value within your json (YearOfCompletion and Completed) in form of sequential array. And your web service will insert that data in same sequence. Syntax for this will look a like
d["YearOfCompletion[0]"] = "1998"
d["YearOfCompletion[1]"] = "1997"
d["YearOfCompletion[2]"] = "1996"
d["Completed[0]"] = "true"
d["Completed[1]"] = "false"
d["Completed[2]"] = "true"
I have been using following web service call function with dictionary, to trigger Alamofire request Swift3.0.
func wsDataRequest(url:String, parameters:Dictionary<String, Any>) {
debugPrint("Request:", url, parameters as NSDictionary, separator: "\n")
//check for internete collection, if not availabale, don;t move forword
if Rechability.connectedToNetwork() == false {SVProgressHUD.showError(withStatus: NSLocalizedString("No Network available! Please check your connection and try again later.", comment: "")); return}
//
self.request = Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: parameters)
if let request = self.request as? DataRequest {
request.responseString { response in
var serializedData : Any? = nil
var message = NSLocalizedString("Success!", comment: "")//MUST BE CHANGED TO RELEVANT RESPONSES
//check content availability and produce serializable response
if response.result.isSuccess == true {
do {
serializedData = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.allowFragments)
//print(serializedData as! NSDictionary)
//debugPrint(message, "Response Dictionary:", serializedData ?? "Data could not be serialized", separator: "\n")
}catch{
message = NSLocalizedString("Webservice Response error!", comment: "")
var string = String.init(data: response.data!, encoding: .utf8) as String!
//TO check when html coms as prefix of JSON, this is hack mush be fixed on web end.
do {
if let index = string?.characters.index(of: "{") {
if let s = string?.substring(from: index) {
if let data = s.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8) {
serializedData = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.allowFragments)
debugPrint(message, "Courtesy SUME:", serializedData ?? "Data could not be serialized", separator: "\n")
}
}
}
}catch{debugPrint(message, error.localizedDescription, "Respone String:", string ?? "No respone value.", separator: "\n")}
//let index: Int = text.distance(from: text.startIndex, to: range.lowerBound)
debugPrint(message, error.localizedDescription, "Respone String:", string ?? "No respone value.", separator: "\n")
}
//call finised response in all cases
self.delegate?.finished(succes: response.result.isSuccess, and: serializedData, message: message)
}else{
if self.retryCounter < 1 {//this happens really frequntly so in that case this fn being called again as a retry
self.wsDataRequest(url: url, parameters: parameters)
}else{
message = response.error?.localizedDescription ?? (NSLocalizedString("No network", comment: "")+"!")
SVProgressHUD.showError(withStatus: message);//this will show errror and hide Hud
debugPrint(message)
//call finised response in all cases
self.delay(2.0, closure: {self.delegate?.finished(succes: response.result.isSuccess, and: serializedData, message:message)})
}
self.retryCounter += 1
}
}
}
}
I think based on Alamofire documentation you can write the code as following:
let values = ["06786984572365", "06644857247565", "06649998782227"]
Alamofire.request(.POST, url, parameters: values, encoding:.JSON)
.authenticate(user: userid, password: password)
.responseJSON { (request, response, responseObject, error) in
// do whatever you want here
if responseObject == nil {
println(error)
} else {
println(responseObject)
}
}
