Documentation

Create a instance

let tor = SwiftTor()

Check the connection

if tor.state == .connected {
    // connected
}else {
    // not connected
}

Do a http request on a onion address

let onionAddress = "http://mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion/api/v1/fees/recommended"
let url = URL(string: onionAddress)!
let request = URLRequest(url: url)
let result = try! await tor.request(request: request)

Tor Hidden Service

let tor = SwiftTor(hiddenServicePort: 80)
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 3.7, repeats: false) { _ in
    print(tor.onionAddress ?? "No onion address")
}

Example in SwiftUI

import SwiftUI
import SwiftTor

struct ContentView: View {
    
    @StateObject var tor = SwiftTor()
    
    @State private var text = ""
    
    @State private var time = 0.0
    
    @State private var requesting = false
    
    var body: some View {
        VStack {
            Text("Time: \(time) seconds")
            Text(text)
            Text(tor.state == .connected ? "Tor Connected" : "Tor not connected")
                .foregroundColor(tor.state == .connected ? .green : .red)
            Button("Tor Request", action: request)
        }
    }
    
    func request() {
        guard tor.state == .connected else {return}
        guard self.requesting == false else {return}
        self.text = ""
        self.requesting = true
        self.time = 0.0
        Task {
            let time1 = Date().timeIntervalSince1970
            let onionAddress = "http://mempoolhqx4isw62xs7abwphsq7ldayuidyx2v2oethdhhj6mlo2r6ad.onion/api/v1/fees/recommended"
            let url = URL(string: onionAddress)!
            let request = URLRequest(url: url)
            let result = try! await tor.request(request: request)
            let time2 = Date().timeIntervalSince1970
            self.time = time2 - time1
            text = String(data: result.0, encoding: .utf8)!
            self.requesting = false
        }
    }
