Not able to get the json response
Question by Nirav Gandhi
var myurl="https://raw.github.com/currencybot/open-exchange-rates/master/latest.json";
$.ajax(
{
url:myurl,
type:"POST",
dataType:"JSONP",
success:function(myObj)
{
console.log(myObj);
}
});
I tried using the shorthand getJSON, but console throws me an error “use POST request”.
And using the code above, console states that “Invalid Label”.
Answer by Starx
Use $.getJSON(), it is shorthand function and very efficient too.
var myurl="https://raw.github.com/currencybot/open-exchange-rates/master/latest.json";
$.getJSON(
myurl,
function(data) {
//manipulate your json
});
But for the JSONP request, you should have callback parameter in the URL
As quoted on the documentation[here]
If the URL includes the string “callback=?” (or similar, as defined by the server-side API), the request is treated as JSONP instead.
