The process for creating a specific curl request using URLSession in Swift can be broken down into the following steps:
Determine the URL for the request.
Determine the HTTP method for the request (e.g. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
Determine the headers for the request (optional).
Determine the body for the request (optional).
Create a URLRequest object using the URL, HTTP method, headers, and body.
Convert the URLRequest object to a cURL command using the following code:
guard let urlString = request.url?.absoluteString else {
print("Invalid URL")
return
}
var command = "curl '\(urlString)'"
if let method = request.httpMethod {
command += " -X \(method)"
}
if let headers = request.allHTTPHeaderFields {
for (key, value) in headers {
command += " -H '\(key): \(value)'"
}
}
if let body = request.httpBody, let bodyString = String(data: body, encoding: .utf8) {
command += " -d '\(bodyString)'"
}
print(command)
Note that step 6 is optional and is only for debugging purposes. The actual network request can be made using URLSession's dataTask method.
