iphone map route issue

I am trying following code to get google maps api response

NSString* apiUrlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=%@&destination=%@&sensor=false", saddr, daddr];
NSURL* apiUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:apiUrlStr];

NSLog(@"api url: %@", apiUrl);

NSString *apiResponse = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:apiUrl encoding:NSStringEncodingConversionAllowLossy error:Nil];

I got this apiResponse json data from google api:

   {
 "routes" : [
  {
     "bounds" : {
        "northeast" : {
           "lat" : 23.0236292,
           "lng" : 72.60381579999999
        },
        "southwest" : {
           "lat" : 22.990296,
           "lng" : 72.5293059

     },

           },
           "duration" : {

           "steps" : [

                    "value" : 898
                 },
                 "duration" : {
                    "text" : "2 mins",
                    "value" : 123
                 },
                 "end_location" : {

                 },
                 "travel_mode" : "DRIVING"
              },
              {
                 "distance" : {
                    "text" : "0.2 km",
                    "value" : 192
                 },
                 "duration" : {
                    "text" : "1 min",
                    "value" : 40
                 },

I am using following code to get poly line points

   NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"points\":\\\"([^\\\"]*)\\\"" options:0 error:NULL];

   NSTextCheckingResult *match = [regex firstMatchInString:apiResponse options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [apiResponse length])];

   NSString *encodedPoints = [apiResponse substringWithRange:[match rangeAtIndex:1]];
   return [self decodePolyLine:[encodedPoints mutableCopy]];

but it returns @"" for encodedPoints

is there any problem in regular expression ?

when you got the response in dictionary then do this,

        NSMutableArray *pathArray = [NSMutableArray new];
        NSArray *routes = [[directionResponse directionResponse] objectForKey:@"routes"];
        NSDictionary *route = [routes lastObject];
        DLog(@"Array routes :%@",routes);

        if (route) {
            NSString *overviewPolyline = [[route objectForKey: @"overview_polyline"] objectForKey:@"points"];
            pathArray = [self decodePolyLine:overviewPolyline];
        }
        NSInteger numberOfSteps = pathArray.count;

        CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinates[numberOfSteps];
        for (NSInteger index = 0; index < numberOfSteps; index++)
        {
            CLLocation *location = [pathArray objectAtIndex:index];
            CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = location.coordinate;
            coordinates[index] = coordinate;
        }
        MKPolyline *polyLine = [MKPolyline polylineWithCoordinates:coordinates count:numberOfSteps];

I dont think you have to use regex for this, you could use a simple json parser in objetive c and access the poyline and its points, refer :- http://pivotallabs.com/parsing-json-in-objective-c/
