How to write your first API call in Swift 📱 (Free Tutorial, Beginner Level)

#iOS #swift #softwaredeveloper #iosdeveloper
In this video, I'll show you how to write your first API call in Swift. An API (Application Programming Interface) is a way for different software systems to communicate with each other over the internet. By making an API call, you can request data or functionality from another system, and receive a response back.
To make an API call in Swift, you'll need to use a networking library such as URLSession. We'll show you how to use URLSession to make an HTTP GET request to an API endpoint, and how to handle the response that you receive back. By the end of this video, you'll have a first understanding of how to make API calls in Swift.

Did you find this explanation useful? Are there other topics you'd like me to cover? Let me know in the comments 🚀

[@fredsonsilva0007]

Really helpful. I think it would be a good idea you make a video integrating chatGPT in a SwiftUI App. 😉

New format is brilliant. Well done. It's great to see you jot down commands, then explain other conditions (such as throwing errors, or being asynchronous) and watching the new code appear just at the moment you mention it in your dialog.
That really drives home the idea that you code as you think.

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying this format ☺️

Hi Vincent,
The explanation is pretty useful! Thanks for creating the video. 😄
I was about to suggest to create a video on async/await but I saw that you already have a video on it. Will check that next!

Clear and valuable.

[@NathanBudd]

This was very succinctly explained! First video of yours that I've come across.
var subscribers = 12700
subscribers += 1

Thank you for the tutorial, next time could you show yourself calling it to view the results?

[@seanephram]

append this to your code
Task {
do {
let movies = try await fetchMoviesFromAPI()
for movie in movies {
print("Title: \(movie.title), Overview: \(movie.overview)")
}
} catch {
print("Error fetching movies: \(error):)
}
}

I'm intrigued as to how you securely store the API key value in a SwiftUI app.

Hey Vincent, it would be a pleasure if you build a list/detail view of your movie app or any app with list/detail view. :) Its what i am really interested in.
I really like your videos, cheers and thank you Vincent.

That's a great idea, doing a livestream about how to implement the most common UI patterns in SwiftUI!

Nice and verbose thank you
