let playlistUrl = NSURL(string: "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems")!
let params = ["key":API_KEY,"part":"snippet","playlistId":PLAYLIST_ID]
Alamofire.request(playlistUrl, method: HTTPMethod.get, parameters: params, encoding: ParameterEncoding.URL, headers: nil)
Swift 3.0 and Alamofire 4
The thing which you are doing wrong is passing a NSURL as the first argument. Don't pass that as a URL, pass it as a string instead. Also you are doing the wrong encoding here.
So the modified code will be as follows:-
Alamofire.request("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems", method: HTTPMethod.get, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
The result here is unused. So take the result in a closure.
Alamofire.request("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems", method: HTTPMethod.get, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseData { (response:DataResponse<Data>) in
switch(response.result) {
case .success(_):
if let data = response.result.value{
print(data)
}
break
case .failure(_):
print(response.result.error)
break
}
}
Also do check the encoding required. Check this link for more details.

Alamofire Swift 3.0 Extra parameter in call
JSONEncoding.default or URLEncoding.default totally depends on the type of API architecture made at backend.
for alamofire 4,
Alamofire.request(playlistUrl, method: .get, parameters: params, encoding: JSONEncoding.default)
Hope this will help you.

//Correct code is:
let playlistUrl = NSURL(string:
"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems")!
let params:Parameters =
["key":API_KEY,"part":"snippet","playlistId":PLAYLIST_ID]
Alamofire.request(playlistUrl, method: HTTPMethod.get, parameters:
params, encoding: ParameterEncoding.URL, headers: nil)

I'm trying to learn to call API with/without library. But the problem here confuses me.
I have params like this:
let parameters: [String:String] =
["key":"MY_KEY" ,
"q":sourceText,
"source": sourceLanguage),
"target": target)]
let headers: HTTPHeaders = [ "Content-type": "application/json"]
I make a post call like this:
Alamofire.request(urlString, method: HTTPMethod.post, parameters: parameters, headers: headers)
.responseJSON{ response in
guard response.result.error == nil else {
print("error calling POST on /todos/1")
print(response.result.error!)
return
}
// make sure we got some JSON since that's what we expect
guard let json = response.result.value as? [String: Any] else {
print("didn't get todo object as JSON from API")
print("Error: \(response.result.error)")
return
}
By this I get an error 403, saying that I do not have a valid API key (I tested the key with postman, and it is okay).
After many efforts, I have to change the code like this
let stringparams = "key=MY_KEY&q=\(sourceText)&source=\(sourceLanguage)&target=\(target)"
request.httpBody = stringparams.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
and using this: Alamofire.request(request)
it works!
I'm using Google Cloud Translation api. And the web use a REST api as said here: https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/reference/translate
So why can't I use params as dictionary, but using the string (like formdata) will work here?
My guess is Alamofire didn't make the right BODY for the request from the parameters because other arguments is okay. But I don't know why.
And I think Google should accept a json params as they mentioned, in stead of using form data? I did try the original method, but it didn't work with JSON.
From what actually works for you it looks like you need to encode the parameters in the same style as a query. Try this:
struct ParameterQueryEncoding: ParameterEncoding {
func encode(_ urlRequest: URLRequestConvertible, with parameters: Parameters?) throws -> URLRequest {
var request = try urlRequest.asURLRequest()
request.httpBody = parameters?
.map { "\($0)=\($1)" }
.joined(separator: "&")
.data(using: .utf8)
return request
}
}
You should then be able to perform the original call that you had before:
Alamofire.request(urlString,
method: HTTPMethod.post,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: ParameterQueryEncoding(),
headers: headers)
.responseJSON { response in
...
}
Try by using JSON encoding. Make sure you have removed ) from dictionary.
Alamofire.request(URL, method: method, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers)
I'm having some trouble converting my old Alamofire code to the new Swift 3 version. I'm getting the error: Extra argument 'method' in call
// Fetch the videos dynamiclly through the YouTube Data API
Alamofire.request("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems", method: .get, parameters: ["part":"snippet", "playlistId":UPLOADS_PLAYLIST_ID,"key":API_KEY], encoding: ParameterEncoding.URL, headers: nil)
Can someone help me with this?
The problem is not in the method argument but in the encoding which you can set to URLEncoding.default also since the header is nil then i guess you dont need it
let parameters: Parameters = ["part":"snippet",
"playlistId":UPLOADS_PLAYLIST_ID,
"key":API_KEY]
let url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems"
Alamofire.request(url,
method: .get,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: URLEncoding.default)
.responseData(completionHandler: { response in
//do what you want
})
by the way you can change responseData back to what you already have
This question already has an answer here:
URL Encode Alamofire GET params with SwiftyJSON
(1 answer)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am trying to use Alamofire for an Api that has a Json body and a header requirement that needs Basic Authentication. When I test the call in Postman it works fine, however with AlamoFire I am getting a server error.
I am trying to see what the call is that's going out from Alamofire - but I can't seem to see it: (this is the code I am using)
edit:
Error is below
["errors": { }, "errorMessages": <__NSSingleObjectArrayI 0x6000000035c0>( Internal server error ) ]
Request is below
Alamofire.request(endpoint, method: .post, parameters: paramsEncoded, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response) in
print(response.request) // This returns just the url eg "http://api.com
print(response.request?.httpBody) // This returns `Optional(85 bytes)`
})
I assume the request is not being created properly, but would be useful to understand what I should be seeing.
Edit: this line helped from the other question :
NSLog("Request: \(request!.httpMethod!) - \(request!.url!.absoluteString)\n\(request!.httpBody.map { body in String(data: body, encoding: .utf8) ?? "" } ?? "")")
Thanks to the question I have linked to as a duplicate for the help.
Print the whole request like this :
let request = Alamofire.request(endpoint, method: .post, parameters: paramsEncoded, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response) in
print(response.request)
print(response.request?.httpBody)
})
print("REQUEST = \(request)")
I'm not sure you can get any more info than that though.
You need to add headers with your request.
let urlString = "https://httpbin.org/get"
let headers = ["Authorization": "123456"]
Alamofire.request(urlString, method: .post, parameters: ["foo": "bar"],encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers).responseJSON { response in
print(response.result.value)
}
I'm trying to migrate these type of calls:
let request = Alamofire.request(urlString, method: .put, parameters: ["password" : newPassword], encoding: .json, headers: ServiceManager.authorizationHeaders()).validate().responseJSON {
To the Alamofire 4.0.0 syntax but no matter what I try, I get 'extra argument in call'.
I checked the documentation and can't see where I'm going wrong, nor can I find an example of how to set the headers on the new version - apologies in advance if I missed that part.
Thanks for any advice.
Gareth.
This works for me
Swift 3.0
Alamofire.request("https://yourServiceURL.com", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON { (response:DataResponse<Any>) in
switch(response.result) {
case .success(_):
if let data = response.result.value{
print(response.result.value)
}
break
case .failure(_):
print(response.result.error)
break
}
}
and make sure the parameters are of type
[String:Any]?
I am trying to use Alamofire to make a web request. It had been working absolutely fine, but after doing a recent pod update it has stopped.
My syntax is:
var params = [String : Any]()
if (data != nil) {
params = try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: []) as! [String : Any]
}
let _ = Alamofire.request( "http://example.com" , method: Method, parameters: params?, encoding: .queryString, headers: [:]).response{ (request, response, data, error) in
}
the error looks is "Extra argument 'method' in call" and I don't seem to be able to get rid of it. My parameters of the request to Alamofire.request seem ok to me, but clearly I am missing something.
You're not passing anything to the method parameter. I don't know what you're trying to provide in the encoding parameter either but that went through some changes in Alamofire 4.0. For example and for simplicity's sake, this compiles:
let _ = Alamofire.request( "http://example.com" , method: HTTPMethod.get, parameters: nil, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil)
