I am trying to fetch data in my iOS app from my Django backend. In postman if I perform a GET request on the following URL http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/places/categories with the params being Key:"Authorization" Value: "Bearer access_token".
I get a JSON response.
Inside my app I am doing something like this with the help of Alamofire:
let access_token = "123"
let headers = ["Authorization": "Bearer" + access_token]
Alamofire.request(self.categoriesUrl, method: .get, parameters:nil,encoding: JSONEncoding.default,headers: headers).response { response in
print("Request: \(response.request)")
print("Response: \(response.response)")
print("Error: \(response.error)")
if let data = response.data, let utf8Text = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Data: \(utf8Text)")
}
}
I get an error saying Authorization Credentials were not provided. I understand this and it asks me to pass in the parameters but the parameters just need a token. So I do something like this:
let access_token = "123"
let params = ["Authorization": "Bearer" + access_token]
Alamofire.request(self.categoriesUrl, method: .get, parameters:params,encoding: JSONEncoding.default,headers: nil).response { response in
print("Request: \(response.request)")
print("Response: \(response.response)")
print("Error: \(response.error)")
if let data = response.data, let utf8Text = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Data: \(utf8Text)")
}
}
It waits for a while but fails to fetch the data with the following error:
Response: nil
Error: Optional(Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x61800004b0d0 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1001 "(null)" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4}}, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/places/categories/, NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/places/categories/, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=4, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=-2102, NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out.})
