JSONP support

[chrisn]

Hi All,
I may be doing something wrong but when I do an ajax call to grab the
json data, I receive the data, but with an incorrect mime type which
then causes a syntax error. This is my call:

$.ajax({
url: 'http://5050.gd/api/'+fiftyfiftyapikey+'/
projects/'+projectID+'/donations',
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonpCallback: "onDonationsReceived"
});

i get these errors:

WARNING: Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME
type application/json.
ERROR: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :

Any ideas?

Cheers

Chris

Hey Chris,

The API doesn't currently respond very well to JSONP, I'd suggest just giving plain old JSON a shot and using the success jQuery callback.

Let me know if it still doesn't work - that error looks a little like you're getting something returned for your project that you shouldn't - could you paste in the actual http response?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting back to me. The response looks good as far as I can
tell as we would have no donations yet:

{"status":200,"data":[]}

If I use plain old JSON won't I get a cross-domain error?

Cheers

Chris

Ah, sorry, head stuck in the backend. I believe most people are querying the API with server-side code.

Is this a possibility for you? If not could you let me know which endpoints you'll be requiring and I'll see if we can add JSONP support for these.

Ok Cool, should be ok to access via sever side code.
I only need access to the donations endpoint, so if it's a relatively
quick fix for you then it would be handy but don't worry if not, I'm
sure your busy with other projects.

Thanks for all your help

Cheers

I've popped some JSONP support on most of the endpoints, not fully tested but feel free to give it a go and see if it works for you.

Hi Andrew that works a treat. I still get the mime type warning but
I'm receiving the object without the error now.

Thanks a lot

Cheers
