Michael Miles shows how to use Swift's native URLSession to perform GET and POST network requests and handle JSON data.

In this video, I use Swift's built-in network request handler, URLSession, to retrieve and push data from 2 different sites: api.chucknorris.io & pastebin.com. Steps: 1) Get API keys (as needed) 2) Add any needed add’l variables using URLRequest (parameters, headers) 3) Create instance of a URLSession 4) Create dataTask w/ do-catch block for data 5) Serialize and format data (usually of type JSON) into project 6) Error handling [don’t forget .resume()] Finished project: github.com/mgm720/alamo/tree/final Twitter: twitter.com/MilesOfTweets Instagram: instagram.com/michaelmilestv/
