jQuery Ajax Request inside Ajax Request

Question

Is it possible to make an ajax request inside another ajax request? because I need some data from first ajax request to make the next ajax request.

First I'm using Google Maps API to get LAT & LNG, after that I use that LAT & LNG to request Instagram API (search based location).

Once again, is this possible, and if so how?

$('input#search').click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var source=$('select[name=state] option:selected').text()+' '+$('select[name=city] option:selected').text()+' '+$('select[name=area] option:selected').text();
    var source=source.replace(/ /g, '+');
    if(working==false){
        working=true;
        $(this).replaceWith('<span id="big_loading"></span>');
        $.ajax({
            type:'POST',
            url:'/killtime_local/ajax/location/maps.json',
            dataType:'json',
            cache: false,
            data:'via=ajax&address='+source,
            success:function(results){
                // this is where i get the latlng
            }
        });
    } else {
        alert('please, be patient!');
    }
});

Answer 1

Here is an example:

$.ajax({
        type: "post",
        url: "ajax/example.php",
        data: 'page=' + btn_page,
        success: function (data) {
            var a = data; // This line shows error.
            $.ajax({
                type: "post",
                url: "example.php",
                data: 'page=' + a,
                success: function (data) {

                }
            });
        }
    });

Answer 2

Call second ajax from 'complete'

Here is the example

   var dt='';
   $.ajax({
    type: "post",
    url: "ajax/example.php",
    data: 'page='+btn_page,
    success: function(data){
        dt=data;
        /*Do something*/
    },
    complete:function(){
        $.ajax({
           var a=dt; // This line shows error.
           type: "post",
           url: "example.php",
           data: 'page='+a,
           success: function(data){
              /*do some thing in second function*/
           },
       });
    }
});

Answer 3

This is just an example. You may like to customize it as per your requirement.

 $.ajax({
      url: 'ajax/test1.html',
      success: function(data1) {
        alert('Request 1 was performed.');
        $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: url,
        data: data1, //pass data1 to second request
        success: successHandler, // handler if second request succeeds 
        dataType: dataType
    });
    }
});

$.ajax({
    url: "<?php echo site_url('upToWeb/ajax_edit/')?>/" + id,
    type: "GET",
    dataType: "JSON",
    success: function (data) {
        if (data.web == 0) {
            if (confirm('Data product upToWeb ?')) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: "<?php echo site_url('upToWeb/set_web/')?>/" + data.id_item,
                    type: "post",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data: {web: 1},
                    success: function (respons) {
                        location.href = location.pathname;
                    },
                    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { // Ketika terjadi error
                        alert(xhr.responseText); // munculkan alert
                    }
                });
            }
        }
        else {
            if (confirm('Data product DownFromWeb ?')) {
                $.ajax({
                    url: "<?php echo site_url('upToWeb/set_web/')?>/" + data.id_item,
                    type: "post",
                    dataType: "json",
                    data: {web: 0},
                    success: function (respons) {
                        location.href = location.pathname;
                    },
                    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { // Ketika terjadi error
                        alert(xhr.responseText); // munculkan alert
                    }
                });
            }
        }
    },

    error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        alert('Error get data from ajax');
    }

});
