I have a post request that I want to make using URLSession.
The post request looks like this:
curl -X POST 'https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/enterprises/privatekey/devices/devicekey:executeCommand' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: authtoken' --data-raw '{
"command" : "sdm.devices.commands",
"params" : {
"commandName" : "cmdValue"
}
}'
As this is a POST request, I want to only decode if the response is an error message.
Here is the code I currently have:
guard let url = URL(string: "https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/enterprises/\(project_id)/devices") else {return}
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.httpMethod = "POST"
request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
request.addValue("token", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
let cmdParams: [String: String] = ["command":"sdm.devices.commands", "params" : ["commandName": "cmdValue"]]
do {
request.httpBody = try JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: cmdParams)
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { (data, response, error) in
guard error == nil else {print(error!.localizedDescription); return }
guard let data = data else {print("empty data"); return }
The cmdParams are throwing an error, so I'm not sure how to structure the params request properly, a successful POST will result in the API returning {} an unsuccessful request will return some error.
How can I adjust my code to get this working?
cmdParamsis[String:Any], not[String:String][String:Any]isn't codable. You either need to create astructto encode the data or directly use a JSON string (as in my answer).JSONSerializationcan serialize[String:Any]. It's not aboutCodable
