Mashape API objective-C boilerplate code giving errors - xcode

I am trying to use an API From Mashape.
When I test the endpoint (JSON response), things are working well,
but the objective-c app-ready code example they give is not working, I get the following errors:
This is my code:
- (IBAction)loadJson:(id)sender
{
NSDictionary* headers = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"xxxxxxxxx", #"X-Mashape-Authorization", nil];
NSDictionary* parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSURL URLWithString:#"<file url>"], #"files", #"", #"urls", nil];
HttpJsonResponse* response = [[Unirest post:^(BodyRequest* request) {
[request setUrl:#"https://lambda-face-recognition.p.mashape.com/detect"];
[request setHeaders:headers];
[request setParameters:parameters];
}] asJson];
}
Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks!

The code examples show this is actually what the code should look like:
NSDictionary* headers = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"application/json", #"accept", nil];
NSDictionary* parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"value", #"parameter", #"bar", #"foo", nil];
HttpJsonResponse* response = [[Unirest postEntity:^(BodyRequest* request) {
[request setUrl:#"http://httpbin.org/post"];
[request setHeaders:headers];
// Converting NSDictionary to JSON:
[request setBody:[NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:headers options:0 error:nil]];
}] asJson];
Or, maybe this one:
NSDictionary* headers = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"application/json", #"accept", nil];
NSURL file = nil;
NSDictionary* parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"value", #"parameter", file, #"file", nil];
HttpJsonResponse* response = [[Unirest post:^(MultipartRequest* request) {
[request setUrl:#"http://httpbin.org/post"];
[request setHeaders:headers];
[request setParameters:parameters];
}] asJson];

NSMutableURLRequest posting a JSON object to CakePHP appears as an Array

I send JSON data from Xcode in the following way:
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"Test title", #"title",
#"Test option1", #"option1",
#"Test option2", #"option2", nil];
NSError *error;
NSData* jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:dict options:kNilOptions error:&error];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://somedomain.com/posts/add"];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setHTTPBody:jsonData];
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
I write the received data in CakePHP to a file in the following way:
public function add()
{
if ($this->request->is('post'))
if ($this->RequestHandler->requestedWith('json')) {
file_put_contents('debug.txt', print_r($this->request->data, true));
}
}
}
and the data in the file ('debug.txt') looks like this:
Array
(
[option2] => Test option2
[title] => Test title
[option1] => Test option1
)
I know that the data being sent is in JSON format and I expect the received data to appear as JSON format rather than an Array in 'debug.txt'. Is this a correct assumption and if so what is going wrong?
I'm not sure what the problem is here, before you can do anything with that data in PHP you'd have to convert it to an array anyway, it seems the CakePHP requesthandler is doing this automatically for you.
If you really want the original json just json_encode() it back again.

pass local declaration of NSDictionary to performSelector

How it do so that I will not need to put data object right in selector call method?
code with warning (Local declaration of data) :
NSDictionary *data = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"SiluetaImage", #"ACTION", silueta_id, #"siluetaid", siluetaTyp_id, #"siluetatypid", nil];
[self performSelector:#selector(downloadBinDataForTyp:data:)
withObject:#"SiluetaImage"
withObject:data];
code without warning :
[self performSelector:#selector(downloadBinDataForTyp:data:)
withObject:#"SiluetaImage"
withObject:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"SiluetaImage", #"ACTION", silueta_id, #"siluetaid", siluetaTyp_id, #"siluetatypid", nil]];
the selector:
- (void)downloadBinDataForTyp:(NSString *)typ data:(NSDictionary*)data
{
ASINetworkQueue *q = [self queue];
NSString *sUrl = #"url_web_service";
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sUrl]];
NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [[self getMsg] length]];
[request setTimeOutSeconds:60];
[request addRequestHeader: #"Content-Type" value:#"text/xml; charset=utf-8"];
[request addRequestHeader: #"SOAPAction" value:_action];
[request addRequestHeader: #"Content-Length" value:msgLength];
[request setRequestMethod: #"POST"];
request.userInfo = data;
[request appendPostData:[self getMsg]];
[request setDelegate:self];
[q addOperation:request];
[q go];
}
NSDictionary *data = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"SiluetaImage", #"ACTION", silueta_id, #"siluetaid", siluetaTyp_id, #"siluetatypid", nil];
[self performSelector:#selector(downloadBinDataForTyp:data:)
withObject:#"SiluetaImage"
withObject:data];
In this you are passing data whose scope is just to the method. And outside the method it can not be accessed, as it is getting released.

ASIHttpRequest upload image

Hey i have a mac application with the following code:
NSURL *url;
url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://yfrog.com/api/xauth_upload"];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [[[ASIFormDataRequest alloc] initWithURL:url] autorelease];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request setUseCookiePersistence:NO];
[request setUploadProgressDelegate:self];
[request showAccurateProgress];
[request signRequestWithClientIdentifier:#"w" secret:#"x" tokenIdentifier:#"y" secret:#"z" usingMethod:ASIOAuthHMAC_SHA1SignatureMethod];
[request setPostValue:#"a" forKey:#"key"];
NSData *imageData = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfFile:[draggedFilenames objectAtIndex:0]];
[request setPostValue:imageData forKey:#"media"];
[request startAsynchronous];
But the problem is i always get this response from yfrog servers:
So something is wrong with the image upload. On iPhone it works like this:
[request setData:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(picture, 0.8) withFileName:#"filename.jpg" andContentType:#"image/jpeg" forKey:#"media"];
But this doesn't work cocoa(mac) because there is no method like UIIMageJPEGRepresentation.
Also the authentication works, this cant be the problem. If you ask you about this method signRequestWithClientIdentifier it is from the asihttprequest+oauth wrapper from here:
https://github.com/keybuk/asi-http-request-oauth
So how can i upload the image correctly ?
Thanks so much.
NSData* NSImageJPEGRepresentation(NSImage* image, CGFloat compressionQuality)
{
if(nil == image)return nil;
NSDictionary *dict;
dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithFloat:compressionQuality],
NSImageCompressionFactor,
nil];
NSBitmapImageRep* imageRep;
imageRep = [NSBitmapImageRep imageRepWithData:[image TIFFRepresentation]];
return [imageRep representationUsingType:NSJPEGFileType
properties:dict];
}

Xcode, can't send UTF-8 Text

I am trying to send a post value to my server.
It successfully send English characters.
This code is for finding friend, and it can't send UTF-8 text.
- (void)filterContentForSearchText:(NSString*)searchText scope:(NSString*)scope{
/*
Update the filtered array based on the search text and scope.
*/
if(![searchText isEqualToString:#""]){
NSUserDefaults * userdef = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
NSString *encodedSearchText = [searchText stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString * uploadUrl = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/%#" , GPON_URL , GPON_URL_SEARCHFRIEND];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:uploadUrl];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setPostValue:encodedSearchText forKey:#"u_id"];
[request setPostValue:[userdef objectForKey:KEY_USER_ID] forKey:#"s_username"];
[request startSynchronous];
[request setShouldAttemptPersistentConnection:NO];
NSString *response = [request responseString];
SBJsonParser * parser = [[[SBJsonParser alloc] init] autorelease];
NSDictionary * json = (NSDictionary *)[parser objectWithString:response];
[searchMember removeAllObjects];
if( [[json objectForKey:#"result"] isEqual:#"YES"] ){
[searchMember addObjectsFromArray:[json objectForKey:#"data"]];
[self.tableView reloadData];
}
}
}
here is my code. can you see what cause the error?
You don't appear to be setting the string encoding of the request; try:
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setStringEncoding:NSUnicodeStringEncoding];
Also, this is a very poor way of determining if an NSString is empty:
if (![searchText isEqualToString:#""])
Use the length method instead:
if ([searchText length] > 0)

Getting HTTP headers with xcode

I am trying to get the user agent but when I try and read it, it comes out (null)
NSLog(#"user agent = %#", [request valueForHTTPHeaderField: #"User-Agent"]);
request is an NSURLRequest. So I tried to get the http headers and I don't think there are any. When I use
NSLog(#"http headers = %d", [[req allHTTPHeaderFields] fileSize]);
it prints out zero. req is an NSMutableURLRequest. Does anyone know why this is happening.
This is the method that I am using:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView )webView2 shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSMutableURLRequest *req = (NSMutableURLRequest *)request;
NSString *versionString = [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:(NSString)kCFBundleVersionKey];
NSLog(#"http headers = %#", [request allHTTPHeaderFields]);
NSLog(#"http headers = %d", [[req allHTTPHeaderFields] fileSize]);
[req setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"myApp/%# %#", versionString, [request valueForHTTPHeaderField:#"User-Agent"]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"User-Agent"];
NSLog(#"user agent = %#", [request valueForHTTPHeaderField: #"User-Agent"]);}
This worked for me:
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
NSString* secretAgent = [webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:#"navigator.userAgent"];
NSLog(#"navigator.userAgent = %#", secretAgent);
NSDictionary* headers = [request allHTTPHeaderFields];
NSLog(#"headers: %#",headers);
NSString* ua = [request valueForHTTPHeaderField:#"User-Agent"];
NSLog(#"User-Agent = %#", ua);
}
I don't know why you're looking at filesize when you can just look at the headers themselves.
Cf. https://stackoverflow.com/a/19184414/1431728
You don't have any headers in your request object because you haven't added any. If you want to specify the User-Agent header, you need to add it yourself, as outlined here.
