Mixendo XHR Demos
Contents |
In this page we present a few examples of how to use the Mixendo XHR service, and what cross-domain Ajax can be useful for. This is just the beginning, since the only limit is your own imagination!
Remember, enabling is as easy as including this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://api.mixendo.com/lib/xhr"></script>
into your page.
Without your own unique Application Key you are running with the limited Demo Mode; to fully exploit our cross-domain service please Register!
Create your own widgets! (Extract data from a page)
Add simple widgets to your page!
In this example you will get a page with cross-domain Ajax, then extract part of it content, and make it into a Widget.
Disclaimer: the code is currently not functional on IE because of the different DOM that IE constructs. It is left as an exercise to the reader :-) to adapt the JS code to other browsers. And by the way, we are working on making web scraping widgets way easier, stay tuned.
Just click on Load Widget to try it out.
Once you grasp the concept, you can then try getting weather from a different city, or make your own Widget!
