[question] consume json from Ushahidi

[Lunkster]

Hi all I try to consume locations from a Ushahidi website which deliver a kind of "dirty" json but it passas as valid in online json validators.

I get an error at leaflet.ajax.js, row 547: SyntaxError JSON parse: unexpected end of data.

http://kajakplatser.se/json

Is there a solution for this or is Ushahidi v2.7 json inedible? :-)

Cheers Henrik

could you throw together a jsfiddle so I can see exactly what your doing?

The code I use is as follows, under test and somewhat dirty of course. Sent from phone and not fiddled.

Cheers

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://kajakplatser.se/json. Origin http://calvinmetcalf.github.io is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. http://kajakplatser.se/json doesn't have cors turned on

as of 01d15576344dd391b8aba2222d7dd7f0ac76ae0d it now gives better errors for cross origin issues

Thanks for the info. It seems that the jsonp-url should be as follows: http://kajakplatser.se/api?task=incidents&resp=jsonp&callback=callback

When I try that I don't get any error messages, but no incidents show up. Any ideas? Cheers Henrik

[calvinmetcalf]

the data at that endpoint isn't actually geojson, you can use the jsonp function to download and then manually add it to the map if you want

L.Util.jsonp('http://kajakplatser.se/api?task=incidents&resp=jsonp').then(function(data){
//do stuff
});

[Lunkster]

ah... thanks for your time. :-)

How can i do the jsonp request with OpenLayers? i tried roadreport = OpenLayers.Request.GET({url:" http://kathmandulivinglabs/roadreporter/api/?task=incidents&resp=jsonp&callback=callback "}) and it gives net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error.
