Question

I need a little help… i’m trying to use the apptrackr API (API Apptrackr – You must be registred
)
with my iPhone application but without success. I have some php example code that works fine with the API but i don’t know how to do that with objective-c. I already do some test but i really don’t know where i’m wrong!

That’s the PHP code:

<?php
 $request = array('object' => 'Link',
    'action' => 'get',
    'args' =>  array(
                     'all_version' => true,
                     'app_id' => 284972998
                     )
 );


// Wrap the request and JSON encode it.
$wrapper = array(
       'request' => json_encode($request)
);


// JSON and URLencode the wrapper.
$wrapper = urlencode(json_encode($wrapper));

// Now, using the cURL extension, we perform the API request.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://api.apptrackr.org/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "request=$wrapper");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// print the output
print_r($data);

?>

and that’s my objective-c code:

NSMutableDictionary *arg = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[arg setObject:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:@"all_versions"];
[arg setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:284972998] forKey:@"app_id"];

NSMutableDictionary *requestDictionary = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
[requestDictionary setObject:@"Link" forKey:@"object"];
[requestDictionary setObject:@"get" forKey:@"action"];
[requestDictionary setObject:arg forKey:@"args"];

NSString *jsonString = [requestDict JSONRepresentation];

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://api.apptrackr.org"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:jsonString forHTTPHeaderField:@"request"];

NSURLConnection *connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];

-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{
    NSString *recivedSTR = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"RecivedData: %@", recivedSTR);
}

I hope someone can help me! For now thanks a lot!
PS: Sorry for my bad english

I guess you shouldn’t put your jsonString in the HTTP header field, but in the POST Body of your request.

Try this:

[request setHTTPBody:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"request=%@",jsonString]];
