Question

when i try to get JSON from http://api-v3.deezer.com/1.0/search/album/?q=beethoven&index=2&nb_items=2&output=json with:

(jQuery 1.6.2)

$.ajax({
         


        

Answer 1

in case the server does not support the cross domain request you can:

1. create a server side proxy
2. do ajax request to your proxy which in turn will get json from the service, and
3. return the response and then you can manipulate it ...

in php you can do it like this

proxy.php contains the following code

and you do the ajax request to you proxy like this

tried and tested i get the json response back...
