Hi, I am having a hard time managing to pull anything out of the JSON reponse when querying TMDb. Despite spending most of the weekend searching these forums and others, I am no nearer a solution.
In my header file I have: @property (nonatomic,strong) NSDictionary * fetchedData;
The dictionary is populating correctly, since the first part of the JSON response looks like this when I use NSLog(@"fetchedData: %@", fetchedData);
fetchedData: { page = 1; results = ( { adult = 0; id = 1245; "known_for" = ( { adult = 0; "backdrop_path" = "/hbn46fQaRmlpBuUrEiFqv0GDL6Y.jpg"; "genre_ids" = ( 878, 28, 12 ); id = 24428; "media_type" = movie; "original_language" = en; "original_title" = "The Avengers";
I've been trying numerous ways to retrieve all instances of "original_title" but I have no hair left to pull out when every attempt is returning NULL, so any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance.

Hi Laniemme,
I have no experience in Objective C but have you taken a look at how some of the libraries are doing this? There's 2 iOS libs listed in the libraries section.

Thanks for replying Travis. I am currently using JLTMDbClient which does have an example, I just can't seem to get mine working. I'll just have to do some more digging. Thanks again.
