How To Work With Any API (API Tutorial using URL Requests)

Learn how to work with any API using either their SDK or manually with web requests

In this video, I'll show an example of the Spotify API which has an iOS SDK and also an example of an OCR Text Extractor API from RapidAPI where we use Swift to manually make URL requests to the API endpoints.

You'll learn how to construct a web request in Swift, specify the header parameters, http body, http method and more!

I would be super grateful for a more in-depth tutorial from you on how to implement Spotify's iOS API!! I've been having a lot of trouble trying to understand it and you explain swift really clearly. Thanks for all the helpful videos thus far!

[failed_physicist]

I was finding APIs kinda hard to work with in Swift but you explained it really well. Thanks!

Thank you Chris, I learned so much from your videos ... I would love to see how to work with USA food central API for calorie and nutrients search

[joelleguier]

Hey man thanks for the amazing vids! Do you reckon you could do a tutorial on implementing stripe into an app??

[volimpia]

Thank you so much for this video. I was the one who asked for RapidApi, and this stuff is actually pretty hard to figure out. Thank you for spending your time on helping us.

Really liked the RapidAPI Tutorial! Just had a question: How would I access the data returned in the dictionary? EX: if I wanted to assign the value of the key "parsed text" (which the value was "Google") to a variable.


Thanks for your support!

Can you do a video on web scraping API like for Xcode?

Not many YouTubers like yourself have videos dedicated to the topic. Plus having you do it means only quality results as your videos leave no stone unturned on how to do Xcodes.
ps, keep up the good work we all love it.

Hey Chris, this is Nishanth from India. Your videos are awesome and I love it. You are the one who taught me Api calls and request way more easily.
Can you try some instagram Api.

[klipo]

A full Spotify iOS SDK would be really appreciated! There are no tutorials up to date and I find it very hard to navigate in Spotifys documentation :)

Hi Chris, can you do a video explaining how to create a menu slide-in bar from the left if you click the three lines etc in the top left corner. I have tried to follow other people but I get confused easily. Thanks Alex

[rafsannazmul]

Hey Chris... I am a big fan of your tutorials.
Could you try to do a tutorial on how to use Microsoft MSAL to upload photos to OneDrive using multiple accounts?
