Thanks very much. I am now getting the information returned to me.

Do you know if there are any plans to include an article summary in the list=geosearch results? That would be terrific. I’ve been using geonames.org and it returns a brief 300 character article summary which seems to be the first 300 characters of the Wikipedia articles. This is very useful in search results, of course. The user can use that information to decide which of the several links to click. The title alone is often rather mysterious.

Thanks, ja http://vispo.com

you should use both, the dataType: 'jsonp' on the ajax config and the format=json on the url

I read the recent thread on cross-domain AJAX problems with Wikipedia’s API but I’m still having problems. I’m getting the following error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&f.... No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://vispo.com' is therefore not allowed access.

That results after I make the following call: $.ajax({url:url, success:ajaxSuccess, error:ajaxError});

where url is the above url, ajaxSuccess is a function, and so is ajaxError. I also wrote an accessible function fooblah but it doesn’t get called.

Please advise.

Hello!

I got my queries working with the following code. Try removing your callback parameter from the url and try this:

$.ajax({ 'url': url, 'dataType': 'jsonp', 'cache': true, 'success': ajaxSuccess, 'error': ajaxError });

Hi Kristian,

Thanks for your help. I have removed the callback parameter (and the format=jsonfm) from the below url and have also changed the $.ajax call as you advise. Consequently, I am no longer getting the error I previously was. However, I am getting the below error:

Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/html: "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&g...". jquery-1.11.0.min.js:4 Refused to execute script from 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&g...' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.

I am getting this error both locally and after I upload to my real server. Please advise.

Actually you should pass format=json if you want JSON to be returned. If no format parameter is specified, the API defaults to "xmlfm", which is an HTML representation of the XML format. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Data_formats#Output for some more details.

Hi Legoktm,

Did you note

$.ajax({ 'url': url, 'dataType': 'jsonp', 'cache': true, 'success': ajaxSuccess, 'error': ajaxError });

I presume the ‘dataType’:’jsonp’ inserts some parameter in the URL that sets the format. To jsonp.
