IOS - Swift 4.0 - Basic access authentication with Alamofire -

I'm doing an app in Swift 4 i when I get to the point where I need to make a POST call, like "Basic access authentication" with a header and a body with parameters, it does not work for me.

Basically I want to simulate this call, to return a 200, but it's giving me back:

"responseSerializationFailed(Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.jsonSerializationFailed(Error
Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "Invalid value around character
0." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Invalid value around character 0.})) "

The API url is:

https://gist.github.com/juaniiton1/3a3e422ed99de22f3f3686bb3b7788d7

and the section is "Store a new trade in the authed user portfolio".

Here I pass the code that simulates the request "Store a new trade in the authoved user portfolio" with the help of Alamofire (4.7.3).

The steps I follow are the following:

What I do is, code the data of "username" and "password" that you
give me in base64.

Then I format the date of type Stirng to type Date (type ISO).

After I created a dictionary for the data

And finally I created the request, putting together all of the above.

In addition in the Xcode I have the TransportSecurity to make the
request "https"

Here I leave the code:

import Foundation
import UIKit
import Alamofire

class ViewController: UIViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {

    super.viewDidLoad()



    //URL

    let url = URL(string: "https://test.cryptojet.io/coins/portfolio")!



    // credentials encoded in base64

    let username = "richard@rich.com"

    let password = "secret"

    let loginData = String(format: "%@:%@", username, password).data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!

    let base64LoginData = loginData.base64EncodedString()

    let headers = ["Authorization" : "Basic (base64LoginData)",

                   "Content-Type": "application/json"]



    //Prepare date - Data UTC to ISO

    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()

    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZZZZZ"

    let dataSting = "2016-06-05T16:56:57.019+01:00"

    let dateISO = dateFormatter.date(from: dataSting)



    //Prepare paramsBody -> tot Data

    let paramsBody: [String: Any] = ["coin_id": 2,

                                     "amount": -2.2183,

                                     "price_usd": 675.982,

                                     "traded_at": dateISO!]



    //Request

    Alamofire.request(url, method: .post,parameters: paramsBody, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: headers).responseJSON { response in

        switch response.result {

        case .success:

            guard let json = response.result.value as? [String: Any],

                let data = json["trade"] as? [String: Any] else {

                    return

            }

            print(data)

        case .failure(let error):

            print(error)

        }

    }



}

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong with this POST authentication call with the server?

Are you trying to use digest protocol? if this is the issue you need to use alamo in a different way

I tried to make request to your url and seems response from your request is not JSON:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

    <head>

        <meta charset="UTF-8" />

        <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />

        <style>            body { background-color: #F9F9F9; color: #222; font: 14px/1.4 Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding-bottom: 45px; }



            a { cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none; }

            a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }

Yes, the API does work in POST. I know because the one who gave me the test says: "I see where the error is but you will understand that if I tell you the solution, the test would be grace since it is a problem of the code and not of the backend. .. "

If you are trying digest you will need this method :

    credential = URLCredential(user: UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "userName") ?? "admin", password: UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "password") ?? "admin", persistence: .none)



    let sessionMananager = Alamofire.SessionManager.default

    _ = sessionMananager.request(url)

        .authenticate(usingCredential: credential!)

        .responseJSON { response in

 }

If you are trying digest you will need this method :

    credential = URLCredential(user: UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "userName") ?? "admin", password: UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "password") ?? "admin", persistence: .none)



    let sessionMananager = Alamofire.SessionManager.default

    _ = sessionMananager.request(url)

        .authenticate(usingCredential: credential!)

        .responseJSON { response in

 }
