EDIT- I recently posted a tutorial on Git on how to solve this question… Below is a link
https://github.com/lukejgeger/ESPN-API-Example.git
I am playing with the ESPN API and am just trying to fill a tableview with all the teams in the NBA. I am using restkit and having some trouble.
Below is some code
RKURL *baseURL = [RKURL URLWithBaseURLString:@"http://api.espn.com"];
RKObjectManager *objectManager = [RKObjectManager objectManagerWithBaseURL:baseURL];
objectManager.client.baseURL = baseURL;
RKObjectMapping* taskMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Team class]];
[taskMapping mapKeyPath:@"name" toAttribute:@"teamName"];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:taskMapping forResourcePathPattern:@"/teams"];
[objectManager loadObjectsAtResourcePath:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"/v1/sports/basketball/nba/teams?apikey=%@",kAPIKey] delegate:self];
[objectManager.mappingProvider setMapping:taskMapping forKeyPath:@"name"];
I get a response code 200 back, but I am getting the error
231 Encountered errors during mapping: Could not find an object mapping for keyPath
A full response of the JSON I am getting back for a team is below
