I have made a simple api to test on apiary, I have created a struct for the response. But when the call is made and I try to make it conform to my struct for some reason I do not get the body and only get the header. I would like to get the little league teams and place them into this struct and then print them.
API link: https://littleleaguers.docs.apiary.io/#reference/0/little-league-teams/list-all-little-league-teams
Response Body:
{
"name": "Little League Teams"
"teams": [
{

"team": "Yankees",
"players": [
{

"position": 1,
"player": null

{

}
},
{
"id": 3,
"position": 3,
"player": null
},
{
"id": 4,
"position": 4,
"player": null
},
{
"id": 5,
"position": 5,
"player": {
"name": "Blake",
"last": "Smith",
"jersey": 28
"signed_up": "2018-07-14T18:23:23.000Z"

}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"team": "Red Sox",
"players": [
{
"id": 13,
"position": 1,
"player": null
},
{
"id": 14,
"position": 2,
"player": null
},
{
"id": 15,
"position": 3,

},
{
"id": 16,

{

League.swift:
struct League: Decodable {
var name: String
var teams: [Teams]
}
Team.swift:
struct Team: Decodable {
var id: Int
var team: String
var players: [Players]
}
Players.swift:
struct Players: Decodable {
var id: Int
var position: Int
var player: player?
}
struct player: Decodable {
var name: String
var last: String
var jersey: Int
var signed_up: String
}
I then have a class to retrieve this data:
GetData.swift:
class GetData{
func getLeague(){
let url = URL(string: "https://private-4df2e8-littleleaguers.apiary-mock.com/league")!
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
if let response = response {
print("RESPONSE \(response)")
/* if let data = data, let body = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("BODY \(body)")
// this line prints the body
}*/
if let data = data, let dataObtained = try? JSONDecoder().decode(League.self, from: data){
print("DATA \(dataObtained).....")// this line does not print
}
} else {
print(error ?? "Unknown error")
}
}
task.resume()
}
}
I then call this in ViewController.swift by:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
let getData = GetData()
getData.getLeague()
}
The only thing that prints in the console is:
RESPONSE <NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x6000008e5e80> { URL: https://private-4df2e8-littleleaguers.apiary-mock.com/league } { Status Code: 200, Headers {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin" = (
"*"
);
"Content-Encoding" = (
gzip
);
"Content-Length" = (
427
);
"Content-Type" = (
"application/json"
);
Date = (
"Fri, 06 Mar 2020 13:35:40 GMT"
);
Vary = (
"Accept-Encoding"
);
"access-control-allow-methods" = (
"OPTIONS,GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,DELETE,TRACE,CONNECT"
);
"access-control-max-age" = (
10
);
"x-apiary-ratelimit-limit" = (
120
);
"x-apiary-ratelimit-remaining" = (
119
);
"x-apiary-transaction-id" = (
5e6251ac6b105b008135d67a
);
} }
Fixing a bit the JSON that comes back, which is wrong, everything in your struct models is fine check this out on online swift playground:
import Foundation
let json = """
