Hi there (& Happy New Year!)

Are there some examples on how I can use JQUERY to get XML from a remote REST API and just display the XML? I just need a little assistance to get things going.

Request Details:

https://{username}:{password}@api.opsourcecloud.net/oec/0.9/myaccount

Response Details:

<?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 standalone=yes?> 

<ns3:Account xmlns:ns2=http://oec.api.opsource.net/schemas/organization .. >     

<ns3:userName>rdyer</ns3:userName> 

    <ns3:fullName>Joe Public</ns3:fullName> 

    <ns3:firstName>Joe</ns3:firstName> 

    <ns3:lastName>Public</ns3:lastName> 

    <ns3:emailAddress>[email protected]</ns3:emailAddress> 

    <ns3:orgId>1831c1a9-9c03-44df-a5a4-f2a4662d6bde</ns3:orgId> 

    <ns3:roles> 

        <ns3:role> 

            <ns3:name>primary administrator</ns3:name> 

        </ns3:role> 

    </ns3:roles> 

</ns3:Account>

Use the jQuery.get method.

For example:

$.get(

    'https://{username}:{password}@api.opsourcecloud.net/oec/0.9/myaccount',

    function(data) { alert(data); }

);

EDIT: For security reasons, you cannot use AJAX to get data from a different domain. Therefore, you'll need to write a server-side script to get the data from the other domain, then call that using $.get.
