Question

$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
url: “http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/zdf/playlists?v=2“,
type: “GET”,
success: function(msg){
console.log(msg);
}
});
});

i get this error “XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/zdf/playlists?v=2“

How can i make crossdomain ajax calls to get the xml from the api?

Answer 1

You cannot make a crossdomain call to to get XML. Your only choice to receive data crossdomain is JSON-P.

The same origin policy restricts direct access to a foreign domain (ajax/iframes), json-p uses dynamic script tag insertion to workaround this issue.

Have a look at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/. JSON-P is also covered there.
