# SKRequest

An abstract class that represents a request to the App Store.

```
class SKRequest
```

## Overview

To make a request, initialize a subclass of [`SKRequest`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest)—such as [`SKProductsRequest`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKProductsRequest) or [`SKReceiptRefreshRequest`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKReceiptRefreshRequest)—set the [`delegate`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest/delegate) property, and call the [`start()`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest/start()) method.

## Topics

### Controlling the Request

[`start()`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest/start())

Sends the request to the Apple App Store.

[`cancel()`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest/cancel())

Cancels a previously started request.

### Accessing the Delegate

[`delegate`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequest/delegate)

The delegate of the request object.

[`SKRequestDelegate`](/documentation/StoreKit/SKRequestDelegate)

Common methods that are implemented by delegates for any subclass of the `SKRequest` abstract class.
