How can I get the total following count of a user?

[emreond]

Hello,

I want to get the total following count of a user. I am using Endpoint.User.summary(for: identifier) for getting following count, thumbnail and userName. However, this endpoint returns nill for counter?.following. What is the proper way of getting these informations?

P.S: What I want to achieve is that I want to create a progress bar for fetching all followings so It is also ok for me to get the total following count in friendShip.following endpoint If possible.

Hey @emreond,

If counter is nil it means the data you're looking for is not populated in the response.

It shouldn't be nil when calling Endpoint.User.summary(for:), though.
Do you mind sending me the console log for the response?
Assuming you're calling it like this, add the logging call.

Endpoint.User.summary(for: identifier)
   .unlocking(with: secret)
   .task { _ in }
   .logging(level: .responseBody)
   .resume()

:( My bad I was using user object from search endpoint in completion block not the one got from summary endpoint (with one misspelling character :D). Sorry about that.

No worries 😊
I'm glad it worked out.

Also may I ask If identifier variable is unique in User object? I am using realm database and I use this variable as primary key for users. It was primaryKey in previous library but in this one I changed it to identifier

It is 😊 it's exactly the primary key.
