I can't get any API urls to work! All of my JavaScript code is correct, so I don't know what the problem is.
My CodePen console and Google Chrome developer console is blank! See screenshot here:https://s25.postimg.org/k5ds4p1xb/Console_Test.jpg (Screenshot of consoles)
Here is my CodePen: https://codepen.io/IDCoder/full/KZqNdr/
Here is my JavaScript code:
$(document).ready(function(){
var quote;
function getNewQuote() {
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.forismatic.com/api/1.0/?method=getQuote&format=jsonp&lang=en&jsonp=?',
jsonp: 'jsonp',
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {
method: 'getQuote',
lang: 'en',
format: 'jsonp'
},
success: function(response) {
//quote = response.quoteText;
console.log(response.quoteText);
}
});
}
//getNewQuote();
});
//getNewQuote();
// $('.get-quote').on('click', function(e) {
// e.preventDefault();
// getNewQuote();
//});
//$('#quote').text(response.quoteText);
//if (response.quoteAuthor) {
//$('#author').text('said by ' + response.quoteAuthor);
//} else {
// $('#author').text('- unknown');
//}
A commenter recommended I use an ajax error call and I implemented that and got the Google Chrome developer console to log this "Failed to load https://codepen.io/boomerang/iFrameKey-a33d8144-0d32-5d95-7476-4d00493149e7/wrongfile.txt: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'https://s.codepen.io' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 404." ....I'm confused!
Changed the protocol to https
on the codepen and uncommented getNewQuote();
