I would like to retrieve the HTTP response status code (e.g. 400, 401, 403, 503, etc) for request failures (and ideally for successes too). In this code, I am performing user authentication with HTTP Basic and want to be able to message the user that authentication failed when the user mistypes their password.
Alamofire.request(.GET, "https://host.com/a/path").authenticate(user: "user", password: "typo")
.responseString { (req, res, data, error) in
if error != nil {
println("STRING Error:: error:\(error)")
println(" req:\(req)")
println(" res:\(res)")
println(" data:\(data)")
return
}
println("SUCCESS for String")
}
.responseJSON { (req, res, data, error) in
if error != nil {
println("JSON Error:: error:\(error)")
println(" req:\(req)")
println(" res:\(res)")
println(" data:\(data)")
return
}
println("SUCCESS for JSON")
}
Unfortunately, the error produced does not seem to indicate that an HTTP status code 409 was actually received:
STRING Error:: error:Optional(Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "cancelled" UserInfo=0x7f9beb8efce0 {NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://host.com/a/path, NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://host.com/a/path})
req:<NSMutableURLRequest: 0x7f9beb89d5e0> { URL: https://host.com/a/path }
res:nil
data:Optional("")
JSON Error:: error:Optional(Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-999 "cancelled" UserInfo=0x7f9beb8efce0 {NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://host.com/a/path, NSLocalizedDescription=cancelled, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://host.com/a/path})
req:<NSMutableURLRequest: 0x7f9beb89d5e0> { URL: https://host.com/a/path }
res:nil
data:nil
Additionally, it would be nice to retrieve the HTTP body when an error occurs because my server-side will put a textual description of the error there.
Questions
Is it possible to retrieve the status code upon a non-2xx response?
Is it possible to retrieve the specific status code upon a 2xx response?
Is it possible to retrieve the HTTP body upon a non-2xx response?
Thanks!

response.response?.statusCode
More verbose example:
Alamofire.request(urlString)
.responseString { response in
print("Success: \(response.result.isSuccess)")
print("Response String: \(response.result.value)")
var statusCode = response.response?.statusCode
if let error = response.result.error as? AFError {
statusCode = error._code // statusCode private
switch error {
case .invalidURL(let url):
print("Invalid URL: \(url) - \(error.localizedDescription)")
case .parameterEncodingFailed(let reason):
print("Parameter encoding failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
print("Failure Reason: \(reason)")
case .multipartEncodingFailed(let reason):
print("Multipart encoding failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
print("Failure Reason: \(reason)")
case .responseValidationFailed(let reason):
print("Response validation failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
print("Failure Reason: \(reason)")
switch reason {
case .dataFileNil, .dataFileReadFailed:
print("Downloaded file could not be read")
case .missingContentType(let acceptableContentTypes):
print("Content Type Missing: \(acceptableContentTypes)")
case .unacceptableContentType(let acceptableContentTypes, let responseContentType):
print("Response content type: \(responseContentType) was unacceptable: \(acceptableContentTypes)")
case .unacceptableStatusCode(let code):
print("Response status code was unacceptable: \(code)")
statusCode = code
}
case .responseSerializationFailed(let reason):
print("Response serialization failed: \(error.localizedDescription)")
print("Failure Reason: \(reason)")
// statusCode = 3840 ???? maybe..
default:break
}
print("Underlying error: \(error.underlyingError)")
} else if let error = response.result.error as? URLError {
print("URLError occurred: \(error)")
} else {
print("Unknown error: \(response.result.error)")
}
print(statusCode) // the status code
}
(Alamofire 4 contains a completely new error system, look here for details)
For Swift 2.x users with Alamofire >= 3.0
Alamofire.request(.GET, urlString)
.responseString { response in
print("Success: \(response.result.isSuccess)")
print("Response String: \(response.result.value)")
if let alamoError = response.result.error {
let alamoCode = alamoError.code
let statusCode = (response.response?.statusCode)!
} else { //no errors
let statusCode = (response.response?.statusCode)! //example : 200
}
}
In the completion handler with argument response below I find the http status code is in response.response.statusCode:
Alamofire.request(.POST, urlString, parameters: parameters)
.responseJSON(completionHandler: {response in
switch(response.result) {
case .Success(let JSON):
// Yeah! Hand response
case .Failure(let error):
let message : String
if let httpStatusCode = response.response?.statusCode {
switch(httpStatusCode) {
case 400:
message = "Username or password not provided."
case 401:
message = "Incorrect password for user '\(name)'."
...
}
} else {
message = error.localizedDescription
}
// display alert with error message
}
Alamofire
.request(.GET, "REQUEST_URL", parameters: parms, headers: headers)
.validate(statusCode: 200..<300)
.responseJSON{ response in
switch response.result{
case .Success:
if let JSON = response.result.value
{
}
case .Failure(let error):
}
Best way to get the status code using alamofire.
Alamofire.request(URL).responseJSON {
response in
let status = response.response?.statusCode
print("STATUS \(status)")
}
Or use pattern matching
if let error = response.result.error as? AFError {
if case .responseValidationFailed(.unacceptableStatusCode(let code)) = error {
print(code)
}
}
you may check the following code for status code handler by alamofire
let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string:"url string")!)
Alamofire.request(request).validate(statusCode: 200..<300).responseJSON { (response) in
switch response.result {
case .success(let data as [String:Any]):
completion(true,data)
case .failure(let err):
print(err.localizedDescription)
completion(false,err)
default:
completion(false,nil)
}
}
if status code is not validate it will be enter the failure in switch case
In your responseJSON completion, you can get the status code from the response object, which has a type of NSHTTPURLResponse?:
if let response = res {
var statusCode = response.statusCode
}
This will work regardless of whether the status code is in the error range. For more information, take a look at the NSHTTPURLResponse documentation.
For your other question, you can use the responseString function to get the raw response body. You can add this in addition to responseJSON and both will be called.
.responseJson { (req, res, json, error) in
// existing code
}
.responseString { (_, _, body, _) in
// body is a String? containing the response body
}
Your error indicates that the operation is being cancelled for some reason. I'd need more details to understand why. But I think the bigger issue may be that since your endpoint https://host.com/a/path is bogus, there is no real server response to report, and hence you're seeing nil.
If you hit up a valid endpoint that serves up a proper response, you should see a non-nil value for res (using the techniques Sam mentions) in the form of a NSURLHTTPResponse object with properties like statusCode, etc.
Also, just to be clear, error is of type NSError. It tells you why the network request failed. The status code of the failure on the server side is actually a part of the response.
Hope that helps answer your main question.
I needed to know how to get the actual error code number.
I inherited a project from someone else and I had to get the error codes from a .catch clause that they had previously setup for Alamofire:
} .catch { (error) in
guard let error = error as? AFError else { return }
guard let statusCode = error.responseCode else { return }
print("Alamofire statusCode num is: ", statusCode)
}
Or if you need to get it from the response value follow #mbryzinski's answer
Alamofire ... { (response) in
guard let error = response.result.error as? AFError else { return }
guard let statusCode = error.responseCode else { return }
print("Alamofire statusCode num is: ", statusCode)
})
For Swift 2.0 users with Alamofire > 2.0
Alamofire.request(.GET, url)
.responseString { _, response, result in
if response?.statusCode == 200{
//Do something with result
}
}
For Swift 3.x / Swift 4.0 / Swift 5.0 users with Alamofire >= 5.0
Used request modifier to increase and decrease the timeout interval.
Alamofire's request creation methods offer the most common parameters for customization but sometimes those just aren't enough. The URLRequests created from the passed values can be modified by using a RequestModifier closure when creating requests. For example, to set the URLRequest's timeoutInterval to 120 seconds, modify the request in the closure.
var manager = Session.default
manager.request(urlString, method: method, parameters: dict, headers: headers, requestModifier: { $0.timeoutInterval = 120 }).validate().responseJSON { response in
OR
RequestModifiers also work with trailing closure syntax.
var manager = Session.default
manager.request("https://httpbin.org/get") { urlRequest in
urlRequest.timeoutInterval = 60
urlRequest.allowsConstrainedNetworkAccess = false
}
.response(...)
AF.request(url, method: .get).responseDecodable(of: Weather.self) { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(let data):
print(data)
var statusCode = response.response?.statusCode
if statusCode == 200 {
print(response)
}
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}

What I'm trying to achieve is that I have a NetworkManager that handles the request's to the server, and handle the error through AFError.
However sometimes when the server response is 4xx, there is a custom message with that response which I want to show that to the user But don't know how to implement it.
This is my NetworkManager
static let shared:NetworkManager = {
return NetworkManager()
}()
typealias completionHandler = ((Result<Data, AFError>) ->Void)
func handleAFrequest(request: DataRequest,completion: #escaping completionHandler) {
request.validate(statusCode: 200..<300)
request.responseJSON { (response) in
switch response.result {
case .success(_):
if let data = response.data {
completion(.success(data))
}
case .failure(let error):
print(error.localizedDescription)
switch error {
case .invalidURL(let url):
print("Invalid URL: \(url) - \(error.localizedDescription)")
completion(.failure(.invalidURL(url: URL)))
case .responseValidationFailed(let reason):
print("Response validation failed: \(error.localizedDescription); Reason:\(reason)")
completion(.failure(.responseValidationFailed(reason: reason)))
I want to be able to cast server response in addition to the error, and show Message of the response to the user.
Server Response example when StatusCode is 4xx:
{
"data":
"code":401;
"Message":"Phone Invalid"
}
I have parsed api errors in many of my projects. I believe there is a better alternative to handle the showing or errors if any, to the user. Please see my code, in it, if there is a error I show it in a toast. Showing in a toast is the not focal point but you can see how I handle the error case in my code and it has never failed. Please change the params accordingly to your api call
func postMethod(mylist: [String:Any]) {
print(K.APIUrl)
print(K.port)
AF.request("\(K.urlFromUrlField!):\(K.configPort)/snhttp-01?", method: .put, parameters: mylist)
.authenticate(username: username, password: password)
.response { response in
switch response.result {
case .success:
print("\nValidation Successful from put method")
print(response.result)
print(response.value as Any)
//get xml code and error msg if any
if let response = response.data{
let xml = XML.parse(response)
print(xml)
print("\nThis is the data sent to the server: \(mylist["data"] ?? "No data in data key of the parameter")" )
let code = xml.Response.Code.text ?? "No code value in response"
let responseMessage = xml.Response.Message.text ?? "No message returned from server"
print("\nCode value from server: \(code)")
print("\nResponse message from server: \(responseMessage)")
}
else{
print("\nSuccess block: Request Successfully sent, BUT there was nothing from the server to unwrap! / nothing sent back from the server\nThis is the data sent to the server: \(mylist["data"] ?? "No data in data key of the parameter")")
}
case let .failure(error):
if let response = response.data {
let xml = XML.parse(response)
let code = xml.Response.Code.text ?? "\nNo code value in response"
let responseMessage = xml.Response.Message.text ?? "No message returned from server"
print("\nCode value from server: \(code)")
print("\nResponse message from server: \(responseMessage)")
print(error)
}
else {
print("\nFailure Block: A connection to the server could not be established")
}
}}
}
This code parses the xml from the api. However you can discard that and just focus on how I handle the response and consequently the error.
This is the solution that works for me.
All you need to do is create a custom error type:
struct APIError: Error, Decodable {
let status: Int?
let message: String?
let key: String?
}
Then call Alamofire, which will return an AFDataResponse which you can parse:
func performRequest<T: Decodable>(route: APIRouter, completion: #escaping (APIResponse<T>) -> Void) {
let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase
AF.request(route)
.validate()
.responseDecodable(decoder: decoder, emptyResponseCodes: [200, 201]) { (response: AFDataResponse<T>) in
self.parseResponse(response: response, completion: completion)
}
}
Parsing is done like this:
private func parseResponse<T: Decodable>(response: AFDataResponse<T>, completion: #escaping (APIResponse<T>) -> Void) {
switch response.result {
case .success(let data):
completion(APIResponse<T>.success(data))
case .failure(let error):
if let data = response.data,
// THIS IS WHERE YOU CAST AFError TO YOUR CUSTOM APIError
let apiError = try? JSONDecoder().decode(APIError.self, from: data) {
completion(APIResponse.failure(apiError))
} else {
completion(APIResponse.failure(error))
}
}
}
Hope this helps!
I'm very new to Swift 3, and i have to do a GET request on my API. I'm using Alamofire, which uses Asynchronous functions.
I do exactly the same on my Android App, and the GET returns JSON data
This is my code in swift :
func getValueJSON() -> JSON {
var res = JSON({})
let myGroup = DispatchGroup()
myGroup.enter()
Alamofire.request(url_).responseJSON { response in
res = response.result.value as! JSON
print("first result", res)
myGroup.leave()
}
myGroup.notify(queue: .main) {
print("Finished all requests.", res)
}
print("second result", res)
return res
}
But i have a problem with the line "res = response.result.value" wich gives me the error : Thread 1 : signal SIGABRT
I really don't understand where the problem comes from, it was pretty hard to do a "synchronous" function, maybe i'm doing it wrong.
My objective is to store the result of the request in a variable that i return. Anyone can help ?
I'd recommend you to use Alamofire together with SwiftyJSON because that way you'll be able to parse JSON easier a lot.
Here's a classical example:
Alamofire.request("http://example.net", method: .get).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(let value):
let json = JSON(value)
print("JSON: \(json)")
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
If you need to pass parameters, or headers, just add it in the request method.
let headers: HTTPHeaders = [
"Content-Type:": "application/json"
]
let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"key": "value"
]
So your request will be something like this (this is POST request):
Alamofire.request("http://example.net", method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: headers).responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success(let value):
print(value)
case .failure(let error):
print(error)
}
}
I haven't tested it, but it should work. Also, you need to set allow arbitary load to yes (App Transport Security Settings in info.plist) if you want to allow requests over HTTP protocol.
This is NOT recommended, but it's fine for development.
I am struggling to get the json error message returned using Alamofire and their .success / .failure method.
Before using this I could use response.result.value and get the returned error message but now I am validating the status code .validate(statusCode: 200..<300).
Have tried several things to receive the error but it always produces nil or just the status code.
Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: body, encoding: JSONEncoding.default)
.validate(statusCode: 200..<300)
.responseJSON { response in
switch response.result {
case .success:
//Other stuff
case .failure(let error):
print(response.result.value) //Produces nil when there is an error
print(error.localizedDescription)
print(response.result.error.customMirror)
print(response.result.error.debugDescription)
print(response.result.error.unsafelyUnwrapped)
print(response.result.error?.localizedDescription)
}
}
How can I get the error json? It is getting returned as such.
{
"status": "error",
"message": "Incorrect Password"
}
take that .validate() out. You will see more detailed description.
I get the following error since I upgraded to Xcode 8:
Extra Argument In A Call
My code looks like this:
Alamofire.request(.GET, link).validate().responseJSON { response in
The error highlights link in red. It is defined further above the code:
let link = "http://www.gov.je/_layouts/15/C5.Gov.Je.CarParks/proxy.aspx"
Why do I get this error?
According to the document:
- Data Request - Simple with URL string
// Alamofire 3
Alamofire.request(.GET, urlString).response { request, response, data, error in
print(request)
print(response)
print(data)
print(error)
}
// Alamofire 4
Alamofire.request(urlString).response { response in // method defaults to `.get`
debugPrint(response)
}
So you need to remove .GET argument
let link = "http://www.gov.je/_layouts/15/C5.Gov.Je.CarParks/proxy.aspx"
Alamofire.request(link).responseJSON { response in
print(response.request) // original URL request
print(response.response) // HTTP URL response
print(response.data) // server data
print(response.result) // result of response serialization
if let JSON = response.result.value {
print("JSON: \(JSON)")
}
}
Why is
if error = response.result.error else {
print (error)
}
Not allowed and throws an error within the function below? I would have expected it should go through well.
Alamofire.request(Router.RegisterUser(parameters))
.validate()
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response) -> Void in
if let receivedData = response.result.value {
let json = JSON(receivedData)
// Check for error in JSON
if let message = json["error"]["message"].string {
let error = Error.errorWithCode(.DataSerializationFailed, failureReason: message)
print(error)
return
}
completionHandler(.Success(true), response: JSON(receivedData))
}
if error = response.result.error else {
print (error)
}
})
I use the validate function to avoid successful responses to the completionhandler, when indeed an error code is returned by the server. The problem now is, that the only error I can currently receive is the one, thrown by validate(). But I use error handling in my API as well and will return a suitable error message to the user.
Error Domain=com.alamofire.error Code=-6003 "Response status code was
unacceptable: 400" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Response status
code was unacceptable: 400}
How can I achieve this now? As by using validate, the response will never get processed as far as I understand?
Alamofire.request(Router.RegisterUser(parameters))
.validate()
.responseJSON(completionHandler: { (response) -> Void in
switch(response.result) {
case .Success(let response):
print(response)
case .Failure(let error):
print("FAILURE: \(error)")
}
})
}
There seems to be 2 issues in your code:
You are missing a let or guard to check if there is an error.
print(error) should be inside if as you are checking error is not nil and trying to print error in else which will be nil.
