Hello I am trying to create a live stream with mux api with a post request in my swift app.
This is what the cURL looks like. The MUX TOKEN ID & SECRET ID are defined in my app in swift:
curl https://api.mux.com/video/v1/live-streams \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-X POST \
-d '{ "playback_policy": "public", "new_asset_settings": { "playback_policy": "public" } }' \
-u ${MUX_TOKEN_ID}:${MUX_TOKEN_SECRET}
This is my code in swift:
func getStreamKeys() {
let url = URL(string: "https://api.mux.com/video/v1/live-streams")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"playback_policy": "public",
"new_asset_settings": ["playback_policy": "public"]
]
request.httpBody = parameters.percentEncoded()
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data,
let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
error == nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error", error ?? "Unknown error")
return
}
guard (200 ... 299) ~= response.statusCode else { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 2xx, but is \(response.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
return
}
let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
}
task.resume()
}
This is the response I get:
response = <NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x281c928e0> { URL: https://api.mux.com/video/v1/live-streams } { Status Code: 401, Headers {
"Cache-Control" = (
"max-age=0, private, must-revalidate"
);
"Content-Length" = (
69
);
"Content-Type" = (
"application/json; charset=utf-8"
);
Date = (
"Tue, 03 Mar 2020 22:34:45 GMT"
);
Server = (
"Mux API Server v1.89.12"
);
"x-request-id" = (
"FfjsHsz4jsEe_3oAcmYi"
);
} }
This is how the response should be:
{
"data": {
"id": "QrikEQpEXp3RvklQSHyHSYOakQkXlRId",
"stream_key": "super-secret-stream-key",
"status": "idle",
"playback_ids": [
{
"policy": "public",
"id": "OJxPwQuByldIr02VfoXDdX6Ynl01MTgC8w02"
}
],
"created_at": "1527110899"
}
}
I still need to pass -u ${MUX_TOKEN_ID}:${MUX_TOKEN_SECRET} the id and secret are constant and should be defined in the getStreamKeys. If someone can help me with it. Thanks
You'll need to add the auth to the api call as described below.
I also replaced your percentEncoded() with JSONSerialization as I do not know what you have in there.
let MUX_TOKEN_ID: String = ""
let MUX_TOKEN_SECRET: String = ""
func getStreamKeys() {
let url = URL(string: "https://api.mux.com/video/v1/live-streams")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let auth = "\(MUX_TOKEN_ID):\(MUX_TOKEN_SECRET)" // create string
let base64Auth = Data(auth.utf8).base64EncodedString() // base64encode the string
request.setValue("Basic \(base64Auth)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") // add auth to headers
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let parameters: [String: Any] = [
"playback_policy": "public",
"new_asset_settings": ["playback_policy": "public"]
]
do {
let jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
request.httpBody = jsonData
print(jsonData)
} catch let e {
print(e)
}
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data,
let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse,
error == nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error", error ?? "Unknown error")
return
}
print(response)
guard (200 ... 299) ~= response.statusCode else { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 2xx, but is \(response.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
return
}
let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
}
task.resume()
}
So the -u flag on curl encodes the value as base64 and passes it as the header
Authorization: Basic <some base64 string>
So in Swift, you'd have to encode the values of ${MUX_TOKEN_ID}:${MUX_TOKEN_SECRET} then pass it into the header dictionary.
Example:
let authString = "\(MUX_TOKEN_ID):\(MUX_TOKEN_SECRET)"
let encodedAuthString = Data(authString).base64EncodedString()
request.setValue("Basic \(encodedAuthString)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
I am using AlamoFire to make POST queries to one of my models in Google Cloud Prediction. Whenever I send a request, I get back an error stating: This API does not support parsing form-encoded input.
After a bit of researching, I found that I needed to set my Content-Type HTTP header to "application/json". Hopefully, you can find something that I missed when making my request. Here is my code:
let parameters = [
"access_token" : accessToken,
"input": [
"csvInstance": [
"This is very positive"
]
]
]
Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.session.configuration
.HTTPAdditionalHeaders?.updateValue("application/json",
forKey: "Accept")
Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance.session.configuration
.HTTPAdditionalHeaders?.updateValue("application/json",
forKey: "Content-Type")
Alamofire.request(.POST, "https://www.googleapis.com/prediction/v1.6/projects/mailanalysis-1378/trainedmodels/10kTweetData/predict", parameters: parameters).responseJSON { (response) in
if let JSON = response.result.value {
print("JSON: \(JSON)")
//print("refresh token = " + auth.accessToken)
}
}
In case someone is still looking for an answer, I managed to access GooglePredictionAPI from my iOS client without Alamofire:
var accessToken: String?
GIDSignIn.sharedInstance().currentUser.authentication.getTokensWithHandler { (authentication, error) in
if let err = error {
print(err)
} else {
if let auth = authentication {
accessToken = auth.accessToken
}
}
}
if let accTok = accessToken {
let parameters = [
"input": [
"csvInstance": [
0.9,
0.14,
-0.41,
1.61,
-1.67,
1.57,
-0.14,
1.15,
0.26,
-1.52,
-1.57,
3.65
]
]
]
let url = NSURL(string: "https://www.googleapis.com/prediction/v1.6/projects/ExermotePredictionAPI/trainedmodels/getExercise/predict")
let session = URLSession.shared
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: url! as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST" //set http method as POST
do {
request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.addValue("Bearer \(accTok)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
let task = session.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest, completionHandler: { data, response, error in
guard error == nil else {
return
}
guard let data = data else {
return
}
do {
if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: .mutableContainers) as? [String: AnyObject] {

How can I use a POST request with parameters to get JSON? I know how to do it with a simple GET request. The request url is http://gyminyapp.azurewebsites.net/api/Gym and the parameter query is
{
"SearchCircle": {
"Center": {
"Latitude": 0,
"Longitude": 0
},
"Radius": 0
},
"City": "string",
"ZipCode": 0,
"Type": "string"
}
I'm wanting to just use the search circle portion of this, which means I can ignore the City and ZipCode fields. I need to provide Latitude/Longitude, which I getting from the current user location. I also need to set the Type to "radius".
For a simple GET request using the GET version of this, I do this.
let url = NSURL(string: "http://gyminyapp.azurewebsites.net/api/Gym")
let data = NSData(contentsOfURL: url!)
do {
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers)
for gym in json as! [AnyObject] {
gyms.append(gym)
}
} catch {
print("Error")
}
This is a working code, you just need to put the values of your request parameters.
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let url = "http://gyminyapp.azurewebsites.net/api/Gym"
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: url)!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let params:[String: AnyObject] = ["Type" : "string","SearchCircle" : ["Radius" : 0, "Center" : ["Latitude" : 0, "Longitude" : 0]]]
do{
request.HTTPBody = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options: NSJSONWritingOptions())
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) in
if let response = response {
let nsHTTPResponse = response as! NSHTTPURLResponse
let statusCode = nsHTTPResponse.statusCode
print ("status code = \(statusCode)")
}
if let error = error {
print ("\(error)")
}
if let data = data {
do{
let jsonResponse = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: NSJSONReadingOptions())
print ("data = \(jsonResponse)")
}catch _ {
print ("OOps not good JSON formatted response")
}
}
})
task.resume()
}catch _ {
print ("Oops something happened buddy")
}
Then in the if let data = data you'd need to parse the response. I checked the response, it is JSON formatted array.
This is how I did it. Just make an NSDictionary out of params and convert to NSData, I called that postData. And then the usual, send that postData as requestBody
let parameters = [
"SearchCircle":
[ "Center" :
["Latitude" : 0,
"Longitude" : 0] ]
"Radius" : 0,
"City" : "", ...
... and so on
] ]
do
{
let postData = try NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(parameters, options: .PrettyPrinted)
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "http...")!,
cachePolicy: .UseProtocolCachePolicy,
timeoutInterval: 10.0)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.HTTPBody = postData
let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
let dataTask = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
print(error)
} else {
let httpResponse = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse
print(httpResponse)
do {
// JSON serialization
self.dictionary = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions()) as! NSDictionary
// if any data
}
catch {
}
}
})
dataTask.resume()
}
catch {
}

I'm trying to make an HTTP post request with a JSON body :
How to be able to add an NSdictionnary to the HTTP request body.
Here is my code, it doesn't seem to work properly.
var entry1 = Response(IdQuestion: 6510,IdProposition: 10,Time: 30)
var entry2 = Response(IdQuestion: 8284,IdProposition: 10,Time: 30)
Responses.append(entry1)
Responses.append(entry2)
let list = Responses.map { $0.asDictionary }
let json = ["List":list,"IdSurvey":"102","IdUser":"iOSclient","UserInformation":"iOSClient"]
let data: NSData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject(json)

request.HTTPBody = data
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {

Perfect nRewik answer updated to 2019:
Make the dictionary:
let dic = [
"username":u,
"password":p,
"gems":g ]
Assemble it like this:
var jsonData:Data?
do {
jsonData = try JSONSerialization.data(
withJSONObject: dic,
options: .prettyPrinted)
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
Create the request exactly like this, notice it is a "post"
let url = URL(string: "https://blah.com/server/dudes/decide/this")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8",
forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8",
forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.httpBody = jsonData
Then send, checking for either a networking error (so, no bandwidth etc) or an error response from the server:
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil else {
// check for fundamental networking error
print("fundamental networking error=\(error)")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 {
// check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
Fortunately it's now that easy.
you can do something like this:
func HTTPPostJSON(url: String, data: NSData,
callback: (String, String?) -> Void) {
var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: url)!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json",forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json",forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
request.HTTPBody = data
HTTPsendRequest(request, callback: callback)
}
func HTTPsendRequest(request: NSMutableURLRequest,
callback: (String, String?) -> Void) {
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
.dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
(data, response, error) -> Void in
if (error != nil) {
callback("", error.localizedDescription)
} else {
callback(NSString(data: data,
encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)! as String, nil)
}
}
task.resume()
}
//use
var data :Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = yourDictionaryData<--
var requestNSData:NSData = NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(request, options:NSJSONWritingOptions(0), error: &err)!
HTTPPostJSON("http://yourPosturl..", data: requestNSData) { (response, error) -> Void in
if error != nil{
//error
return;
}
println(response);
}
Swift4 - Apple Solution "POST" and "Codable"
Uploading Data to a Website using request.httpmethod = "Post" and Codable Stucts:
#see: Listing 2 Configuring a URL request
let userlogin = User(username: username, password: password, deviceid:UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor!.uuidString)
guard let uploadData = try? JSONEncoder().encode(userlogin) else {
print("Error UploadData: ")
return
}
let urlUser = URL(string: APPURL.apiURL)!
var request = URLRequest(url: urlUser)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
var responseStatus = 0
let task = URLSession.shared.uploadTask(with: request, from: uploadData) { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
let code = (error as NSError).code
print("Error:\(code) : \(error.localizedDescription)")
completion(code)
return
}
guard let response = response as? HTTPURLResponse else {
print("Invalid response")
return
}
// do your response handling here ...
No library required, simply use URLSession
here is an example:
let sampleData = ["key": "Value"]
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://REPLACE.ME")!)
let urlSession = URLSession = URLSession(configuration: .default)
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
// inside a throwing function or wrap it in a doCatch block
let jsonData = try encoder.encode(sampleData)
urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST"
urlRequest.addValue("application/json",forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
urlRequest.httpBody = jsonData
let task = urlSession.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { data, response, error in
let statusCode = (response as? HTTPURLResponse)?.statusCode
print("💁🏻♂️ \(statusCode)")
}
task.resume()

For a Codable / Encodable type in Swift 4+
Use a JSONEncoder to transform the object into Data:
let jsonObject = ... // Encodable or Codable
guard let jsonData = try? JSONEncoder().encode(jsonObject) else {
fatalError("encoding error")
}
Then set that encoded object as the httpBody of the URLRequest:
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.httpBody = jsonData
Swift 5.5
As of Swift 5.5, we now have another alternative using async/await:
// Form the POST request:
let url = URL(string: "http://example.com/login")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
// Use the async variant of URLSession to make an HTTP POST request:
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.upload(for: request, from: requestData)
Complete example:
struct LoginResponse: Decodable {
let id: String
let name: String
}
func login(_ username: String, _ password: String) async throws -> LoginResponse {
struct RequestData: Encodable {
let username: String
let password: String
}
// Encode data to JSON to send in the POST request body:
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
let requestData = try encoder.encode(RequestData(username: username, password: password))
// Form the POST request:
let url = URL(string: "http://example.com/login")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.setValue("application/json; charset=utf-8", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
// Use the async variant of URLSession to make an HTTP POST request:
let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.upload(for: request, from: requestData)
print("HTTPURLResponse:", response)
print("The response body is:", String(decoding: data, as: UTF8.self))
// Parse the JSON response:
return try JSONDecoder().decode(LoginResponse.self, from: data)
}
Usage
You must call it in an async context (so you can await it). One way is using a Task:
Task {
do {
let loginResponse = try await login("user1", "mypassword")
print("Login successful for user with id:", loginResponse.id)
} catch {
print(error)
}
}
// prepare json data
let mapDict = [ "1":"First", "2":"Second"]
let json = [ "title":"ABC" , "dict": mapDict ] as [String : Any]
let jsonData : NSData = NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: json) as NSData
// create post request
let url = NSURL(string: "http://httpbin.org/post")!
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: url as URL)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
// insert json data to the request
request.httpBody = jsonData as Data
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest){ data,response,error in
if error != nil{
return
}
do {
let result = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: []) as? [String:AnyObject]
print("Result",result!)
} catch {
print("Error -> \(error)")
}
}
task.resume()
var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "your URL")!)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
let postString = String(format: "email=%#&lang=%#", arguments: [txt_emailVirify.text!, language!])
print(postString)
emailString = txt_emailVirify.text!
request.httpBody = postString.data(using: .utf8)
request.addValue("delta141forceSEAL8PARA9MARCOSBRAHMOS", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
request.addValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
guard let data = data, error == nil
