Newbie: How to parse the data returned

  • I’m really new to this. I have the plugin installed and it’s apparently working but after a couple of hours of looking, I can’t find a simple snippet on how to display/parse what I get.

    My goal is to be able to pull the recent posts from a WordPress site and display them on a non-wordpress site.

    I have this jquery as a test (using 1.7.2):

    $(document).ready(function(){
  $("button").click(function(){
    $.getJSON("https://www.thumbslinger.com/wordpress/api/get_recent_posts/",function(result){
      $.each(result, function(i, content){
        $("div").append(content + " ");
      });
    });
  });
});

    Putting the above url in the url bar returns the test posting, I can’t seem to get it parsed and placed, in this case, to a div.

    I’m missing something somewhere but I new enough to json to not be sure what.

    Update: I’ve made headway with:
    $(document).ready(function(){
    $.getJSON(“/wordpress/api/get_recent_posts/”,function(result){
    $.each(result.posts, function(index){
    console.log(result.posts[index]);
    $(“.demoarea”).append(result.posts[index].content + ” “);
    });
    });
    });

    But, I’d really like to just dump the title and contents but get_recent_posts only returns the actual posting/content not the title.

    Not sure if you ever got this figured out, but, I would use cUrl and php’s json_decode();
    Then you can just put the response in a foreach()
