Remo API with $.getJSON

[Mouhamadou M CAMARA]

Hi guys


I would like to make a simple web App for the Firefox APP days demo in
Dakar.
For that, i use the ReMo API like that :

$.getJSON("https://reps.mozilla.org/api/v1/rep/?format=json&limit=10",
function(data) {

// to debug

console.log(data);

// use moctar List view to list Reps
...
});

but nothing is returned

I tried to use twitter search to see if my code is correct just changing
the url by
"http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=FirefoxOSAppDays&rpp=0&callback=?"
and that correct

I would like to know where is the problem ?

I have also add "&callback=?" for callback function but i have an error
on console "SyntaxError: invalid label"


Sorry for my english


great

Hi,

I assume that the reason why $.getJSON is not working is because you are
trying to load a json from a different domain,
which is not allowed by web browsers.

To avoid this you can use JSONP [1]
Here [2] you can see an example JSONP API request for reps.mozilla.org.
Sorry for the ugly formatting :)

remember you may still have problems making requests to a https protocol if your app is using only http.

the cross domain issue is still the main problem and you could try a $.ajax calling a Jsonp, not a real json.

I'm not sure if you could call the api via http, if not, it would be easier if you migrate all your resources to the same protocol.

just checking: you call also call the api from http, so you can change to the apropriated protocol or you can use a trick to always follow the same protocol you are using:

//reps.mozilla.org/api/v1/rep/?format=json&limit=10

Now you only need to change the te request to a jsonp. This way your app will work using both http abd https.
