Public api get number of shares JSON problem
Quote by Paul:
***To pull the share count for a specific URL you can call this URL:
http://api-public.addthis.com/url/shares.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html
Replace http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html with the encoded URL you'd like the count for. This will return the number of counts as a JSON variable***
When I want to call this url by javascript and get JSON variable, console reports javascript origin policy error. This is usually solved by JSONP (wrapping it in callback), but how to do that for public api ? I didn't find anywhere exact JSONP for public api, only for services and analytics, but this way it doesn't work.
Help please, thank you.
You can add a JSONP function by adding the callback parameter to the URL, like this:
http://api-public.addthis.com/url/shares.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html&callback=yourcallbackfunction
http://api-public.addthis.com/url/shares.json?url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~paul%2Fscratchpad.html&callback=yourcallbackfunction
