now i need these values
here how to get these values
utID
showUserUndertaking
htmlDecription
here I am getting the same above postman response in
if let jsonString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Received JSON data: \(jsonString)")
}
but not getting inside
print("errorCode: \(response.errorCode)")
print("status: \(response.status)")
code:
func termsandCondition() {

let UserType = "&UserType=\(strPassword)"//intUserType.toString
guard let url = URL(string: baseURL + urlStr + key + SchCode + UserID + UserType) else {
print("Invalid URL")
return
}
print("the url is:......\(url)")

struct UserUndertakingResponse: Codable {
let errorCode: Int
let status: String
let message: String
let utID: String
let showUserUndertaking: Bool
let htmlDescription: String // This will hold the HTML content as a string
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case errorCode, status, message, utID, showUserUndertaking, htmlDescription
}
}
After seeing the raw response, you have JSON Stringified, ie JSON String inside JSON.
So you need to decode first the JSON as it was a String, then decode according to your own model:
do {
let string = try JSONDecoder().decode(String.self, from: data)
let object = try JSONDecoder().decode(UserUndertakingResponse.self, from: Data(string.utf8))
print(object)
} catch {
print("Error decoding JSON: \(error)")
}
Your response has a typo, either it's fixed on the API, or you can force the decoding: It's written "htmlDecription" instead of "htmlDescription" (missing an "s").
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case errorCode, status, message, utID, showUserUndertaking
case htmlDescription = "htmlDecription"
}
Now, unrelated to your issue, but name your variables starting with a lowercase:
let SchCode = "&SchCode=\(strSchoolCodeSender)"
-->
let schCode = "&SchCode=\(strSchoolCodeSender)"
Also, for constructing the URL, I'd suggest to use URLQueryItem:
let baseURL = APIConstants-basePath.com + "/Undertaking"
var components = URLComponents(string: baseURL)
components?.queryItems = [URLQueryItem(name: "SchCode", value: strSchoolCodeSender),
URLQueryItem(name: "UserID", value: intUserID.toString)
...
]
guard let url = components.url else {
print("Invalid URL")
return
}
