swift PUT API from json object - php

Question

I am trying to make an api call I build the json object. But the data is not being passed I believe it is the formatting of the data when passed the service only has examples in php which i have posted below
API Docs: http://middleware.idxbroker.com/docs/api/methods/index.html#api-Leads-putLead
php call
// PUT lead in to IDX Broker
$url = 'https://api.idxbroker.com/leads/lead';
$data = array(
'firstName'=>$firstname,
'lastName'=>$lastname,
'email'=>$email
);
$data = http_build_query($data); // encode and & delineate
$method = 'PUT';
Swift Code to build json object
/// Create lead from text fields
let jsonObject: [String: String] = [
"firstName": (firstName.text! as String),
"lastNmae": lastName.text!,
"email": Email.text!,
"phoneNumber": phoneNumber.text!,
"city": (city.text as AnyObject) as! String,
"recieveUpdates": (switchIsChanged(recieveUpdates: recieveUpdates) as AnyObject) as! String
]
The API Call
class func putLead(lead: AnyObject){
let urlString = "https://api.idxbroker.com/leads/lead"
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
print(lead)
var downloadTask = URLRequest(url: (url as URL?)!, cachePolicy: URLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData, timeoutInterval: 20)
/******************** Add Headers required for API CALL *************************************/
downloadTask.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
downloadTask.setValue(APICalls.getAccessKey(), forHTTPHeaderField: "accesskey")
downloadTask.setValue("json", forHTTPHeaderField: "outputtype")
downloadTask.httpMethod = "PUT"
downloadTask.httpBody = (lead as? Data)
/******************** End Headers required for API CALL *************************************/
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: downloadTask, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) -> Void in
/// Status Returned from API CALL
if let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
print("statusCode: \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments)
print(jsonData ?? "No Return")
}).resume()
/******** End URL Session **********/
}
Working Version
let newLead = "firstName=\(firstName.text!)&lastName=\(lastName.text!)&email=\(Email.text!)&phoneNumber=\(phoneNumber.text!)&city=\(String(describing: city.text))&recieveUpdates=\((switchIsChanged(recieveUpdates: recieveUpdates) as AnyObject) as! String)"
let newData = newLead.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
/// API Call with passing json String
APICalls.putLead(lead: newData!)

I was able to get it working by making the following changes to your putLead() function:
class func putLead(lead: [String:String]){
let urlString = "https://api.idxbroker.com/leads/lead"
let url = NSURL(string: urlString)
var httpBodyString = ""
for (key,value) in lead{
let currentKey = key.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed)
let currentValue = value.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlHostAllowed)
httpBodyString += "\(currentKey!)=\(currentValue!)&"
}
var downloadTask = URLRequest(url: (url as URL?)!, cachePolicy: URLRequest.CachePolicy.reloadIgnoringCacheData, timeoutInterval: 20)
/******************** Add Headers required for API CALL *************************************/
downloadTask.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
downloadTask.setValue(<API_KEY_HERE>, forHTTPHeaderField: "accesskey")
downloadTask.httpMethod = "PUT"
downloadTask.httpBody = httpBodyString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)
/******************** End Headers required for API CALL *************************************/
URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: downloadTask, completionHandler: {(data, response, error) -> Void in
/// Status Returned from API CALL
if let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse {
print("statusCode: \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
}
let jsonData = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments)
print(jsonData ?? "No Return")
}).resume()
/******** End URL Session **********/
}
