REST Auto Reconnect for Multiple Requests (dev.markitondemand.com)

See more REST Examples

Demonstrates how the autoReconnect argument to the Connect method is used. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    let rest = CkoRest()!

    // This example demonstrates the usage of the autoReconnect argument to the Connect method.
    // When autoReconnect is on, subsequent REST method calls will automatically re-connect
    // if necessary, using the same information (domain/IP address, port number, and TLS).
    var bTls: Bool = false
    var port: Int = 80
    var bAutoReconnect: Bool = true
    success = rest.connect(hostname: "dev.markitondemand.com", port: port, tls: bTls, autoReconnect: bAutoReconnect)

    // Get a stock quote:
    success = rest.addQueryParam(name: "symbol", value: "AAPL")
    var responseXml: String? = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/MODApis/Api/v2/Quote")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    let xml = CkoXml()!
    success = xml.load(xmlData: responseXml)
    print("AAPL LastPrice: \(xml.getChildContent(tagPath: "LastPrice")!)")

    // Get another stock quote.  If a new HTTP connection is required,
    // the REST object will automatically connect using the same parameters.
    success = rest.addQueryParam(name: "symbol", value: "AMZN")
    responseXml = rest.fullRequestNoBody(httpVerb: "GET", uriPath: "/MODApis/Api/v2/Quote")
    if rest.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("\(rest.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    success = xml.load(xmlData: responseXml)
    print("AMZN LastPrice: \(xml.getChildContent(tagPath: "LastPrice")!)")
