How to get web service data with javascript?

Question

I have token value in a URL like http://example.com/api.php?action=token I need to consume this URL data which is a random string, I'm trying with following code:

var jqxhr = $.get("http://example.com/api.php?action=token", function() {
    alert( "success" );
})
.done(function() {
    alert( "second success" );
})
.fail(function() {
    alert( "error" );
})
.always(function() {
    alert( "finished" );
});

// Perform other work here ...

// Set another completion function for the request above
jqxhr.always(function() {
    alert( "second finished" );
});

Using $.get()

While trying to load, it's showing an error. I'm just stuck with it, how to get the data?

Is the service on your own domain? If not, you'll need to do either a CORS or JSONP request, and both of those need to be enabled on the server. — Andy

to access data you need to add a parameter on your callbacks e.g. .done(function(data) { — melc

Cross domain calls are restricted by the browser so some solutions are,

1.Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) or jsonp, but you will require to have access to the server you are calling and configure that (many examples online e.g. How to make cross domain request)

2.server side proxy - create simple server side code e.g. php page that you will call form js and place code in php that calls the targeted cross domain server and return the results to your js. e.g. AJAX cross domain call

try this

  $.ajax({
              url:"http://example.com/api.php?action=token",
              type: "GET",
              success: function (data) {
                   alert(data)
              }
           });

this might be a cross domain issue

Systematix Infotech Over a year ago
