How to distinguish different requests in didCompleteWithResponse:

[Michael Valentiner]

Hi,

I am writing a class that issues several different requests to flickr
using callAPIMethodWithGET:. In my OFFlickrAPIRequestDelegate
didCompleteWithResponse: method, how can I tell which request it is
getting called for? For example, my class requests,
flickr.contacts.getList and flickr.galleries.getList. When
didCompleteWithResponse: is called, how can I know which response I am
handling?

Is there something in the OFFlickrAPIRequest that I can access that
would tell me the method that was requested, flickr.contacts.getList
or flickr.galleries.getList? I don't see anything obvious.

You can use the sessionInfo property for that purpose. For example, just set sessionInfo to @"flickr.contacts.getList" (or some custom objects if you need more information to be carried with each request issued), and in your delegate method -flickrAPIRequest:didCompleteWithResponse:, just fetch the request.sessionInfo to check which API you are calling.

Another possible approach is to create different request objects for different methods. Then you can just use pointer comparison to see if request == theRequestThatIJustCalled.

Lukhnos,

Thank you for your reply. I looked at sessionInfo, but it appears it is used sometimes. Looking closer, it appears it is only used during authentication, so I guess I can use it without worrying about clobbering other data.
