Blockchain API, AJAX request has stopped working, CORS issues?
- by Sly
I've been playing with the multiple address look up API from blockchain info (documented here https://blockchain.info/api/blockchain_api), I had my code working earlier in the day but bizzarely it's stopped.
The purpose of it is to eventually write a little JQuery library which will search the DOM for bitcoin addresses as data attributes and then insert the final balance into that element creating a polling mechanism to keep the page updated as well.
The original problem I ran into earlier while developing it was because it's a CORS ajax request but later I adjusted the query per the blockchain info API documents and I added cors=true it then seemed to work fine but now it doesn't seem to want to work at all again. I don't get how changing computers would effect this kind of request.
Here's my code on JSFiddle, http://jsfiddle.net/SlyFoxy12/9mr7L/7/
My primary code is:
(function ($) {
var methods = {
init: function(data, options) {
//put your init logic here.
},
query_addresses: function(addresses) {
var addresses_implode = addresses.join("|");
$.getJSON("http://blockchain.info/multiaddr?cors=true&active="+addresses_implode, function( data ) {
$.each( data.addresses, function( index ) {
$('#output').append(" "+data.addresses[index].final_balance);
});
});
}
};
$.fn.bitstrap = function () {
var addresses = new Array();
$('[data-xbt-address]').each(function () {
$(this).text($(this).data('xbtAddress'));
addresses.push($(this).data('xbtAddress'));
});
methods.query_addresses(addresses);
}
}(jQuery));
$().ready(function() {
$().bitstrap();
});
