Question

I want to parse json data from url which contain json data, but its extension is not .json

When I try to request response url using below code it make ajax request with 200 status code.

But I try with other url containing same data with .json extension, it works.

Here is my javascript code

var url='http://jsonurl.com/jsondata';
jQuery.ajax({
  url: url,
  dataType: 'json',
  success: function(d){
      jQuery.each(d,function(i){
       console.log(i);
    });
  }
});

So I want solution to parse json content of file in javascript or in jquery, which dont have .json extension but contain json data .

Answer 1

I found the exact problem, after discussion with support team of API.
Actually the problem is with content type. They implemented some cache system for that json data, and when my script make request to API url, it send that json data and creates its cache and that cache remain active for some time. If my script create same request, then that json data served from cache who’s content type is not json.

Now they are working on this issue.

BTW thanks Peter for help. 🙂
