{ "stories": [ { "id": "172", "event": "Floyd Lippencotte Interviews" }, { "id": "162", "event": "Florida" }, { "id": "161", "event": "Canyon Lands" } ] }

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong please in order to capture the data from, "stories"

struct Story: Decodable, Identifiable { public var id: Int public var event: String

enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
       case id = "id"
       case event = "event"

    }

}

public class StoryFetcher: ObservableObject { @Published var stories = [Story]()

init(){
    load()
}

func load() {

    let url = URL(string: "https://logger.lumberjacksystem.com/index.php/api/stories_keywords/74/74")!

    URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) {(data,response,error) in
        do {
            if let d = data {
                let decodedLists = try JSONDecoder().decode([Story].self, from: d)
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.stories = decodedLists
                    print(self.stories)

                }
            }else {
                print("No Data")
            }
        } catch {
            print ("Error")
        }

    }.resume()

}

}

The json you have is not an array of stories but rather JSON object (similar to Swift dictionary), that has stories key and its value is [Story].

In cases like these I would define struct purely for the JSON response. So something like:

struct StoriesResponse: Decodable {
  let stories: [Story]
  }

Thank you very much for your reply. I am DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR Replying. I just found this video

I will hunt for more of his videos on JSON.
