iOS - Swift - Parse - Twitter Profile Photo - swift

Question

1) I am trying to access twitter profile photo and upload it to the parse user object
2) Below is the code I am using.
if PFTwitterUtils.isLinkedWithUser(user){
//copy data to parse user
let screenName = PFTwitterUtils.twitter()?.screenName!
let requestString = ("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=" + screenName!)
let verify: NSURL = NSURL(string: requestString)!
let request: NSMutableURLRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: verify)
PFTwitterUtils.twitter()?.signRequest(request)
var response: NSURLResponse?
var error: NSError?
let data: NSData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response, error: &error)!
if error == nil {
let result: AnyObject? = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments, error: &error)
//let names: String! = result?.objectForKey("name") as! String
//let separatedNames: [String] = names.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")
//var firstName = separatedNames.first!
//var lastName = separatedNames.last!
let urlString = result?.objectForKey("profile_image_url_https") as! String
let hiResUrlString = urlString.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("_normal", withString: "", options: NSStringCompareOptions.LiteralSearch, range: nil)
let twitterPhotoUrl = NSURL(string: hiResUrlString)
let imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: twitterPhotoUrl!)
if(imageData != nil) {
let profileFileObject = PFFile(data:imageData!)
user.setObject(profileFileObject, forKey: "profilePicture")
}
user.saveInBackgroundWithBlock({ (success:Bool, error:NSError?) -> Void in
if(success) {
//println("User details are now updated")
user.pinInBackgroundWithBlock({ (pinUserSuccess:Bool, pinUserError:NSError?) -> Void in
if (pinUserSuccess){
println("User successfully pinned in twitter")
}else {
println("Error in pining the user")
}
})
}
})
} else {
println(error?.description)
}
3) I am using Parse User Interface to sign in using twitter. That is working. I am able to access the screen name
4) I am testing this on a simulator
Question 1 -
In the above code I am getting an error for the below code. Please help!
let data: NSData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response, error: &error)!
Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1012 \"The operation couldn’t be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)\" UserInfo=0x7fd11aab87a0 {NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=jayskapadia, NSUnderlyingError=0x7fd11aab51b0 \"The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error -1012.)\", NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://api.twitter.com/1.1/users/show.json?screen_name=jayskapadia}
Question 2 - I also want to access the email id from the twitter profile. How do I do that?

Answer 1

the photo part now works with the below code
if PFTwitterUtils.isLinkedWithUser(user){
//copy data to parse user.
let screenName = PFTwitterUtils.twitter()?.screenName!
let verify = NSURL(string: "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/verify_credentials.json")
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: verify!)
PFTwitterUtils.twitter()!.signRequest(request)
var response: NSURLResponse?
var error: NSError?
var data:NSData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response, error: &error)!
if error == nil {
let result: AnyObject? = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments, error: &error)
//let names: String! = result?.objectForKey("name") as! String
//let separatedNames: [String] = names.componentsSeparatedByString(" ")
//var firstName = separatedNames.first!
//var lastName = separatedNames.last!
let urlString = result?.objectForKey("profile_image_url_https") as! String
let hiResUrlString = urlString.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("_normal", withString: "", options: NSStringCompareOptions.LiteralSearch, range: nil)
let twitterPhotoUrl = NSURL(string: hiResUrlString)
let imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: twitterPhotoUrl!)
if (screenName != nil){
user.setObject(screenName!, forKey: "username")
}
if(imageData != nil) {
let profileFileObject = PFFile(data:imageData!)
user.setObject(profileFileObject, forKey: "profilePicture")
}
user.saveInBackgroundWithBlock({ (success:Bool, error:NSError?) -> Void in
if(success) {
//println("User details are now updated")
user.pinInBackgroundWithBlock({ (pinUserSuccess:Bool, pinUserError:NSError?) -> Void in
if (pinUserSuccess){
println("User successfully pinned in twitter")
}else {
println("Error in pining the user")
}
})
}
})
} else {
println(error?.description)
}
}
