Sending Data to server in JSON format Swift

Question

Server expecting from me data in JSON format . Like this ;

. Im trying to send data like this ;

func getProductListResponse(typeId : String , type : String) {
    
    let tsoftFilter = [
        
        "key" : type,
        "value" : typeId
        
    
    ] as [String : AnyObject]
    
    print("tsoft filter is \(tsoftFilter)")
    
    
    let serviceParams = [
        
        "store_id" : Config.productListId,
        "page" : currentPage,
        "per_page" : perPage,
        "tsoft_filters" : "\(tsoftFilter)"
        
        
    ] as [String : AnyObject]

But it doesn't work where do I making mistake ?

You have a working POSTMAN sample. POSTMAN can generate Swift code. It's not beautiful Swift code, but it should give you an hint. Did you check it out? learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/… — Larme

You are adding the description of a dictionary which is not equal to JSON. And according to the screenshot you need even an array of dictionaries.

In this case it's easier to create the JSON literally

func getProductListResponse(typeId : String , type : String) {
    
    let tsoftFilter = #"[{"key":"\(type)","value":"\(typeId)"}]"#
    
    let serviceParams : [String : Any] = [
        
        "store_id" : Config.productListId,
        "page" : currentPage,
        "per_page" : perPage,
        "tsoft_filters" : tsoftFilter
        
    ]
    ...

By the way a parameter dictionary sent in a network request is never [String:AnyObject]

Try this:

 let tsoftFilter = """
 [
    [ "key" : type, "value" : typeId]
 ] 
 """

JSON uses braces to indicate a dictionary, Swift does not.
