I am trying to send get requests to the Google Places API with this

  • 0

I am trying to send get requests to the Google Places API with this code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="json2.js">
var googleQuery;
function load() {
    googleQuery = JSONRequest.get(  
       "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=3af0d044d45cd8587d9a3522bc98a95d4f60c6a8&sensor=true&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
       function (googleQuery, value, exception) {
          if (value) {
             processResponse(value);
          }
          else {
             processError(exception);
          }
       }
    ); 
}
</script>

And calling the load function in the body onload. 

  <body onload="load()">
  </body>

I am including the src=”json2.js” in this <script> instead of in its own <script>, since I was getting a “JSONRequest is undefined” error…but I am still getting a strange “load is undefined” error.

Am I going about this JSON request correctly?

    Try:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="json2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var googleQuery;
    function load(){
    googleQuery = JSONRequest.get(  
        "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?reference=3af0d044d45cd8587d9a3522bc98a95d4f60c6a8&sensor=true&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
     function (googleQuery, value, exception) {
        if (value) {
            processResponse(value);
        } else {
            processError(exception);
        }
      }
    ); 
   }
</script>

    You can’t have JavaScript code inside a script tag which has the src attribute. You should place the inline code on another script tag, otherwise it won’t be executed.
