I'm trying to make a post request with Swift. my goal is to post the accesstoken facebook to a server but does not work. here's the code:
let myUrlfb = NSURL(string: "MyApiServer");
let requestfb = NSMutableURLRequest(URL:myUrlfb!);
requestfb.HTTPMethod = "POST";// Compose a query string
//We make the post string
let postStringfb = FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken().tokenString
requestfb.HTTPBody = postStringfb.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding);
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(requestfb) {
data, response, error in
if error != nil
{
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
the answer is as follows:
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"child \"access_token\" fails because [access_token is required]","validation":{"source":"payload","keys":["access_token"]}})
Here this way you can consume POST web services:
func webApi() {
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: "your url")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
var string = "access_token="
var postString = string.stringByAppendingString(FBSDKAccessToken.currentAccessToken().tokenString)
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else { // check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
if let httpStatus = response as? NSHTTPURLResponse where httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
print("response = \(response)")
}
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
print("responseString = \(responseString)")
}
task.resume()
}
}//End of webapi function
From Api request you can see that access token is missing and is required. Your http body should be in specific format like "keys":["access_token"]. Try reading api docs for more information. Once you meet specifications it should work. Currently you are just posting access token as string
