I have the code below in my html. I can't get alert to send me back anything.
$.ajax({
url:"proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.rottentomatoes.com%2Fapi%2Fpublic%2Fv1.0%2Flists%2Fmovies%2Fupcoming.json%3Fpage_limit%3D16%26page%3D1%26country%3Dus%26apikey%3Dk4uaze4937mw3hf82upstxqw%0A",
type:'GET',
dataType:"json",
success:function(data){var title1 = data.movies[1].title; alert (title1);}
});
here is my proxy.php file.
<?php
// File Name: proxy.php
if (!isset($_GET['url'])) die();
$url = urldecode($_GET['url']);
$url = 'http://' . str_replace('http://', '', $url); // Avoid accessing the file system
echo file_get_contents($url);
I am using proxy because the server I am trying to connect to does not have jsonp.
This is the api I am calling, and the json http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/lists/movies/upcoming.json?page_limit=16&page=1&country=us&apikey=k4uaze4937mw3hf82upstxqw
Now works. JSONP is ok, you can use it without your PHP.
<script type="text/javascript">
$( document ).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url:'http://api.rottentomatoes.com/api/public/v1.0/lists/movies/upcoming.json?page_limit=16&page=1&country=us&apikey=k4uaze4937mw3hf82upstxqw',
type:'GET',
dataType:'jsonp',
success:function(data){
alert(data);
var title1 = data.movies[1].title;
alert(title1);
},
error: function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert(xhr);
alert(textStatus);
alert(errorThrown);
}
});
});
</script>
