For non required fields, you can either omit from the JSON string or set it to a default value
(e.g. String = "", Integer/Double = 0, Boolean = false, DateTime = 1900-01-01T00:00:00.000Z)
{"auth": {"api_username": "", "api_password": "", "api_key": "", "company_no": 0, "username": "", "password": "", "timezone_offset": 0, "auth_type": "", "system_name": "", "system_company_no": 0 }, "media": {"media_title": "", "media_location": "", "media_type": "", "media_description": "", "main": "", "reference_type": "", "reference_no": 0, "company_no": 0, "created_on": "1/1/1900 12:00 AM" }, "options": {"folder_path": "", "media_object": <base64Binary>, "filename": "" } }

This sample code is to generate a function leveraging existing core functions you've already built.
func getAPIKit() -> (url: String, dict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>) {
var media_no = 0
var media_title = ""
var media_location = ""
var media_type = ""
var media_description = ""
var main = ""
var reference_type = ""
var reference_no = 0
var company_no = 0

var folder_path = ""
var media_object = <base64Binary>
var filename = ""
let url = "https://api.peoplevine.com/media.asmx/updateMedia"
let key = "media"
let mediaDict: Dictionary<String, AnyObject> = ["media_no": media_no, "media_title": media_title, "media_location": media_location, "media_type": media_type, "media_description": media_description, "main": main, "reference_type": reference_type, "reference_no": reference_no, "company_no": company_no, "created_on": created_on ],

return (url, finalDict)

To get started we reccomend that you download the Alamofire project to simplify integration: https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire, in addition to SwiftyJSON: https://github.com/SwiftyJSON/SwiftyJSON
