Issue with Alamofire Request - swift

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)

How to Access Magento Rest API in iOS swift 4

I am write code to post data from Magento REST API for IOS Application put get me error. I try from login and register view controller in the same code get me the same error
The api Magento REST API . I success to get data from api but error to post data in api
self.internetConnectionChecker { (status) in

let userLoginApi = "http://3.85.198.62/4apps/rest/V1/integration/customer/token"
let parameters: Parameters = ["username": username, "password": password]
let header : HTTPHeaders = ["Content-Type": "application/json"]
Alamofire.request(userLoginApi, method: .post, parameters: parameters, headers: header).responseObject { (response: DataResponse<User>) in
KVNProgress.dismiss()
print(response.request?.url)
print(response.request?.allHTTPHeaderFields)
let json = try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers)

}
The error you see has happened on the Magento side Decoding error: \nUnable to unserialize value... It points to the problem unserializing JSON params. So I've tried to play with encoding on the Alamofire request and URLEncoding.queryString works for me. Here is my code
Alamofire.request(userLoginApi, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding.queryString, headers: header).responseData { (response: DataResponse<Data>) in
let json = try! JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers)
print("json", json)
}

Can't make post request using params as dictionary with Swift 4 & Alamofire

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)

Alamofire 4 sends method as POST but server reads it GET

I have a very weird problem here, using Alamofire 4 Swift 4 Xcode 9.1
let manager = Alamofire.SessionManager.default
manager.session.configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest = 30
manager.session.configuration.requestCachePolicy = .reloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData
let request = manager.request(
url,
method: HTTPMethod.post,
parameters: [:])
But server replies with method not allowed because it reads it as GET, however, if I change HTTPMethod.put or .delete or any other method, the server reads it correctly, the problem is with post specifically!
By debugging Alamofire's class 'SessionManager', specially the following method:
open func request(
_ url: URLConvertible,
method: HTTPMethod = .get,
parameters: Parameters? = nil,
encoding: ParameterEncoding = URLEncoding.default,
headers: HTTPHeaders? = nil)
-> DataRequest
The method here is correct, POST, so it's just fine before it goes out the application, what's wrong?
It was adding '/' at the end of the URL that was causing this.

Extra argument in 'method' in call

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.

Also check this answer posted by me.
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)

EXC_BAD_ACCESS Error In App, Alamofire 3.1.2

I'm running Xcode 7.1, with an iOS device on 9.1, and the latest version of Alamofire, I believe it's 3.1.2.
I've seen others with similar errors - this one from SO and this one from their Github issues page - to mine, but the resolutions did not work for me. The resolutions that worked in these scenarios seemed to be deleting the DerivedData folders, but that doesn't work in my situation.
The issue is that I can make web requests with Alamofire when I run in the simulator, but I get the following error (in the image) when I install the application on my device.
I've tried using a device running 9.1, 9.0.1 and 8.3. All of these devices crash when I attempt to make the web request. I'm stuck on this and I've made no headway. This worked until I updated all my pods in my podfile and my Xcode version a couple of nights ago.
I'm a newbie at iOS development, so if you need to see more error logs or things of that nature, let me know and I'll do my best to get you those. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: Adding code for the Alamofire.request method as requested. Also adding code for the referenced Manager.sharedInstance.request method. These are methods within the Alamofire library itself.
// Alamofire.request
public func request(
method: Method,
_ URLString: URLStringConvertible,
parameters: [String: AnyObject]? = nil,
encoding: ParameterEncoding = .URL,
headers: [String: String]? = nil)
-> Request
{
return Manager.sharedInstance.request(
method,
URLString,
parameters: parameters,
encoding: encoding,
headers: headers
)
}
// Manager.sharedInstance.request
public func request(
method: Method,
_ URLString: URLStringConvertible,
parameters: [String: AnyObject]? = nil,
encoding: ParameterEncoding = .URL,
headers: [String: String]? = nil)
-> Request
{
let mutableURLRequest = URLRequest(method, URLString, headers: headers)
let encodedURLRequest = encoding.encode(mutableURLRequest, parameters: parameters).0
return request(encodedURLRequest)
}
One problem is that stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters returns an optional, and when you do string interpolation, you're going to get Optional(...) appearing in the string. Thus when it tries to create a URL from that, it's undoubtedly failing. Print the uri string and you'll see the issue. E.g., if the searchTerm was "foo bar", the uri would become:
https://api.spotify.com/v1/search&q=Optional("foo%20bar")&type=artist,album,track
But that's not correct. Add a ! to the end of the expression to unwrap it:
let searchTermEncoded = searchTerm.stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters(NSCharacterSet.URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet())!
And then the URI will be (largely) correct.
--
I'd suggest not doing this percent escaping yourself (as the character set you're using is not correct, even once you do properly unwrap searchTermEncoded). Let Alamofire do this for you:
let urlString = "https://api.spotify.com/v1/search"
let parameters = ["q" : searchTerm, "type" : "artist,album,track"]
Alamofire.request(.GET, urlString, parameters: parameters)
.responseJSON { response in
guard response.result.error == nil else {
print(response.result.error)
return
}
print(response.result.value)
}
