Hi I am new to Twitpic API. I want to make a call to TwitPic API
http://api.twitpic.com/2/tags/show.xml?tag=" + searchq + "&page=1"
I want to do it using AJAX my current code is as below:
<script type="text/javascript">
var searchq = 'first';
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnGetData").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
/* define url of xml file to parse */
url: "http://api.twitpic.com/2/tags/show.xml?tag=" + searchq + "&page=1",
/* assign it a data type */
dataType: "xml",
/* state name of function to run if file is successfully parsed */
success: parseXml
});
});
});
function parseXml(xml)
/* this is where the xml file is parsed and converted into a HTML output */
{
//for each item node in the xml file
$(xml).find("image").each(function () {
//print the following html, inserting the relevant data within the nodes of item
//this is the heading
$("#tweets").append($(this).attr("id") + "<br />");
$("#tweets").append($(this).attr("short_id") + "<br />");
$("#tweets").append($(this).attr("type") + "<br />");
$("#tweets").append($(this).attr("timestamp") + "<br />");
});
//end for each
//end function
}
</script>
And my HTML looks like below:
<body>
<input id="btnGetData" type="button" value="Twitter Get Tweets" />
<div id="tweets">
</div>
I am not getting any error but the call to this API is not happening. I want to parse XML returned from this API. If you can provide me demo code for parsing Twitpic API XML it would be really great help.
Thanks in Advance; Abhishek A. Sharma
