Hello!

Since I don't get even the simplest code snippet to work (e.g [1]) I want to ask a really simple question.

Am I allowed to query the Wikipedia API [2] from any domain if I specify the 'origin' field to correspond my domain? Or is there a whitelist with only perhaps all relevant WikiMedia sites blocking me from this. I have tried more elaborate ajax script parameters following all bot best practices but I get CORS blocked.

The code snippet mentioned above was modified only with "'origin': location.origin" but I get the error:
"SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data"
(using jquery 1.11.0 and Firefox 31.0).

Best wishes
