My company is in the process of switching to an online booking system and our database admin (who also created the booking program we use in house currently) has set up the api and we are hoping to test it in house before making it public facing.
My computer and the server with the database/program are both on the same network in house and when I type in the url he gave me to access it directly into the browser i get the data back fine(in xml in Chrome and FF, IE returns it in json). But when I try and write and api call in jquery to test on the website(local machine copy) I get nothing back. No errors in the console, nothing. I pretty new at javascript and jquery and the few api calls I’ve written have been to live websites (twitter, flickr, etc) so you’ll have to bear with me. I’ve tried $.getJSON method as well as fetching it in xml(and json and jsonp) using $.ajax.
Obviously I’m not really sure what I’m doing here so an help would be great. I would just ask the guy who built it but he left for a week and I was hoping to start messing with it now. Thanks, below is the api call in it’s latest iteration
<script>
(function(){
$.ajax({
type:'Get',
url: "http://tmapi.huts.org/api/businessinfo",
dataType: 'xml',
crossDomain: false,
error: function() { alert("No data found."); },
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
});
</script>
