Json / Api

[Kime 0]

Hello everyone.

I 'm trying to build my own html site as front end.

But i can't seem to figuer out how to get the json data back from the api into html

Things like :

http:///api/weather?callback=?

and

http:///api/rooms

i've tryed thingslike :

$.getJSON("http:///api/weather?callback=?", function(data) {

// Get the element with id summary and set the inner text to the result.

$('#summary').text(data.result);

});

but what ever i'm trying i dont get any data back. Only when i put the url directly into the browers. so the HCL is giving me the data but i cant get them into my HTML code

Does any of you have a working sample ?

Have a look at what I've done:

Look at the "infosprite.php" this is doing what you want to. Basically, you import the entire file content of the api output you are trying to decode (through "file_get_contents"), then decode the json into a multidimensional array with the nifty built in decoder that php comes with. Then I just reload the php script every second in a hidden div where I can fetch the data from.

Thanks for the input. I take a look at it.

I was working with the Jqeurry's but no luck so far.

i was hoping to get everything into simple html files, no php, asp.

So i can run the files directly from a tablet, pc,... without a webserver.

It sounds like you just want to extract the data once. If that's the case, you can paste the URL into json-csv.com and extract the data into a spreadsheet. Then you can save it as HTML from there.

Looking at the above code, you seem to be missing the authentification. So basically, you are trying to get data out without credentials. So first step is to get the json by providing the hc with your credentials, then the next step will be to convert that response into something useful. I don't know how/if jQuery will handle basic authentification though.

Hi, I thing you problem is

You can't get data from the API using jQuery if the script is running from an other domain.

This is only possible if you use JSONP, the problem with JSONP is that the server side must support this and HC2 dosen't support JOSNP callbacks. So you have to use a proxy service to get it to work unfortunately.

I was writing a Pebble app when I realsed this problem.

I think a proxy is adviceable anyway. Especially if you expect to have several devices polling the HC2 simultaneously (in my setup I have 7 tablets requesting updates every second, plus any commands sent back to the HC) it is probably a good idea to only have one device polling the HC2 and then all the other devices polling the Proxy, as this will be much better suited to handle the high number of requests being received from all your devices. I haven't personally had latency issues with the HC2, but other people are reporting that when they try to poll it often, it will start to lack as it apparantly has a hard time coping with many requests (especially if they arrive simulaneously I gather).
