How do I parse this Flickr response?

Question

I get this from a sample Flickr response in their api site: ``` jsonFlickrApi({"method":{"_content":"flickr.test.echo"}, "format":{"_content":"json"}, "api_key":{"_content":"8038f7f7d7151ccbf6df2aa10b1b35ae"}, "stat":"ok"}) ``` I can see the dictionary in there, right after the words jsonFlickApi. But how do I get rid of that leading text and put the dictionary into my NSDictionary?

Accepted Answer

Use the `NSJSONSerialization` class to parse the JSON data.

Edit: The `jsonFlickrApi(...)` indicates that you're using a JSONP endpoint to talk to Flickr. You don't need this; a plain JSON endpoint is fine. According to this Flickr API documentation you can fix this by including the parameter `nojsoncallback` with the value `1` when you make your request.
