  • 0

I need to provide a functionality similar to “Share with Facebook” for my social networking site. Facebook uses nested iframes and also xd_receiver concepts. I want to write a JavaScript API(JS file hosted on my domain), which can be used by different sites to call my web server APIs in order to share, post or recommend on my social networking site. I have a few questions –

  1. Even though I provide the JS API, and diff sites load the JS file using the source, if any API call is made, it will again be a cross domain call(If I am comprehending correctly) and will be rejected on the server?
    How to overcome such situation?

  2. Is there any other better mechanism to implement this functionality?

Please suggest so that I can proceed with the implementation.

    I think the default way is to use jsonp to get around cross domain limitation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP. It might require a change in your api though. A user requests your api through the src of a script tag passing in a function callback. Your api would return pass your json response to the function specified.
