Swift: Making Network Request Using NSURLConnection
From Hawk Wiki
var clientId = "Put your client id here"
var url = NSURL(string: "https://api.instagram.com/v1/media/popular?client_id=\(clientId)")!
var request = NSURLRequest(URL: url)
NSURLConnection.sendAsynchronousRequest(request, queue: NSOperationQueue.mainQueue()) { (response: NSURLResponse!, data: NSData!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
var responseDictionary = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: nil, error: nil) as NSDictionary
self.photos = responseDictionary["data"] as NSArray
self.tableView.reloadData()
println("response: \(self.photos)")
}
