Quick Tip: Cross Domain AJAX Request with YQL and jQuery

Man i hate youtube when i`m watching tutorials becouse of the poor quality the videos have -.-

I subsrcibed know on youtube but it keeps telling me “This video is private”. Someone help? :)

I am getting an “An error has occurred. Try again later.” in the embedded clip above.

Is there a way to change the client headers? I’m wanting to make a forum reader using this but they’ve disallowed all bots via robots.txt and YQL doesn’t like this…

Thanks for the tutorial, i’ve been hearing lots about YQL as Christian Heilmann has mentioned it quite a lot in his tweets. This is a perfect introduction.

Thanks, that was a good intro to YQL. I’d previous solved the cross-domain loading by using PHP to download the content I need, and reading the results using jQuery.

I read the blog entry Jonathan pointed out, and realized that some applications really can’t cache, especially if they’re gathering real-time data that really can change every ten seconds. Maybe those apps shouldn’t use this particular solution (because it whales on Yahoo servers)?

Really useful tutorial!

I created something very similar to this a few weeks ago, and after running for a few days, YQL started blocking our query…

It didn’t matter that we never passed YQL’s query limits, and cached everything that could be cached…We still got blocked.

We had to rewrite the whole thing to be done on our server with PHP.

well youtube doesn’t work here in my country

like to make an ajax/jquery tutorial request: how to make the back browser button to work correctly in a filter search ->result page->detail page->result page

kind regards

Nice article, as usual !

I always thought cross-domain ajax wasn’t allowed: I’m wondering how does using getJSON changes that…

Any idea ? If I wanted to create some API that could be called by cross-domain Ajax, what should I do ? Returing JSON is enough ?

Hello there,
That’s a really goog article.

I’m trying to use your script to retrieve an Oauthenticated query using as passing “yql” value a signed one returned by the function of the followinbg script -> http://paul.donnelly.org/2008/10/31/2-legged-oauth-javascript-function-for-yql/ script, but unseccesfull.

I wonder if you or somebody else know the reason of not working or any alternative way to use Cross Domain AJAX Request with YQL and jQuery using an authenticated query.

Thank you very much.

George K.

Just wanted to know how the jQuery would look if I were trying to use css selectors.

So what you have here on the tut:
var yql = ‘http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=’ + encodeURIComponent(‘select * from html where url=”www.holylandmoments.org/devotionals/the-sabbath-experience”‘) + ‘&format=xml&callback=?’;

And the YQL syntax looks like such:
use ‘http://yqlblog.net/samples/data.html.cssselect.xml’ as data.html.cssselect; select * from data.html.cssselect where url=”www.holylandmoments.org/devotionals/the-sabbath-experience” and css=”#main-content”

How can I incorporate the USE attribute into the jquery yql var.

Thanks!

nice article !
i found a similar article on YQL, the author has given sample code also !

http://www.tutkiun.com/2010/11/yahoo-query-language.html

can this be implemented in your recent article –> http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/javascript-ajax/how-to-build-an-rss-reader-with-jquery-mobile-2/ ?

please if it can be implemented, explain how i could go about it.

Thanks in advance

I got nice link regarding cross domain ajax request

That’s a really good article conguratulations…
I am trying to use this technique to try if i can run it but unfortunately i failed. here is my code :

Cross-Domain Ajax Request

function cbfunc(data){
if( data.results[0] ){
data = data.results[0].replace(/]*>[\s\S]*?/, ”);
$(‘#container’).html(data);
}
else{
throw new Error(‘Nothing returned from getJSON.’);
}
}

function sfunc(){
//”http://www.google.com.tr/search?hl=tr&q=”
var site = $(‘#sitename’).val();
if ( !site ) {
alert(‘No site was passed.’);
return false;
}
var yql = ‘http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20html%20where%20url%20%3D%20%22′ + site + ‘%22&format=json&diagnostics=true&callback=cbfunc’;
$.getJSON(yql, cbfunc);
return false;
/*
requestCrossDomain(path, function(results){
$(‘#container’).html(results);
});
event.preventDefault();
return false;*/
}

Type a URL :

Can anyone show my mistake on this code? Because when i debug it with firebug on firefox, it’s seemed that it can’t enter into the function “cbfunc”. Thanks fellas.
