$getJSON and for loop issue

Question

This is to populate a table with the amount of results that are returned from the MediaWiki API query /api.php?action=query&list=querypage&qppage=BrokenRedirec

Answer 1

You should write a function like -

function callUrl(value)
{
 $.getJSON('/api.php?action=query&list=querypage&qppage=' + value + '&format=json', function (data) {
        $('#' + value).text(data.query.querypage.results.length);
    });
}

and then call it with some timeout option like -

setTimeout('callUrl(+ array[i] +)',500); within the loop -

i.e.

for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
  setTimeout('callUrl(+ array[i] +)',500);
}

Some delay for each call will be required here.
