Lithium API to create a module to get the 3 most recent posts on other site

    You will need to traverse the response object to find out the data you want

     

    Examples:

     

        success: function(data) {
		var resp = data.response;
		
		alert("Response status is: " + resp.status);
		alert("Response messages: " + resp.node_message_context.message.length);
		alert("First message subject : " +resp.node_message_context.message[0].subject.$);
		 
    }

     Of course the above are merely examples and should not be used in production - but it gives you an idea.

    Hi mayank,

     

    I think you need to change the dataType back to "jsonp" like we were doing previously. Here's an example:

     

    $.ajax({
    url: 'http://community.edifecs.com/restapi/vc/posts?restapi.response_style=view&restapi.response_format=json',
    type: 'GET',
 dataType :'jsonp',
 async: false,
 crossDomain:true,
    success: function(data) {
	var resp = data.response;
	alert("First message url : " + resp.node_message_context.message[0].view_href);	 
    }
});
