How return data from an HTTP request in Swift/Objective C

Question

I\'m trying to use Coinbase\'s API to get information about my online bitcoin wallet, and I\'m trying to use Swift\'s NSURLSession object to do so. Perhaps I\'m missing some

Answer 1

I know that problem and use this code for synchronous requests:

func synchronousRequest() -> NSDictionary {

        //creating the request
        let url: NSURL! = NSURL(string: "exampledomain/...")
        var request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url)
        request.HTTPMethod = "GET"
        request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")


        var error: NSError?

        var response: NSURLResponse?

        let urlData = NSURLConnection.sendSynchronousRequest(request, returningResponse: &response, error: &error)

        error = nil
        let resultDictionary: NSDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(urlData!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &error) as! NSDictionary

        return resultDictionary
    }
