Question

If an oembed provider is only outputting json and xml, does that mean it is impossible to use this via client side javascript? ($.ajax request to the provider)?

Can we only use oembed providers that allow for a jsonp callback in javascript?

Thanks,
Wesley

Answer 1

you cannot use ajax across different domains.
Jsonp is an option, other option is to have a server side script which will fetch the data from the provider and then make an ajax call to that script to return the fetched data
