Authentication
Before making any requests to the Dribbble API, you need to authenticate your application using the API access token obtained from your Dribbble developer account. Follow these steps:
- Import the SDK in your Swift file:
“`swift
import DribbbleSDK
“`
- Authenticate your app using your API access token:
“`swift
DribbbleSDK.authenticate(withAccessToken: “YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN”)
“`
Fetching Shots
To fetch shots from the Dribbble API, you can use the following method:
“`swift
DribbbleSDK.getShots { (shots, error) in
if let shots = shots {
// Use the fetched shots
} else if let error = error {
// Handle error
}
}
“`
This method retrieves an array of shot objects with information like shot ID, title, description, and more.
Profile Information
To fetch user profile information, you can use the following method:
“`swift
DribbbleSDK.getUserProfile { (userProfile, error) in
if let userProfile = userProfile {
// Use the fetched user profile
} else if let error = error {
// Handle error
}
}
“`
The retrieved user profile object contains details like username, bio, website URL, and more.
