Am I accessing the API correctly?

Question

When running the code

$.getJSON('http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/questions/4', function(data) {
    // Do some stuff here....
});

I get the error

Failed to load resource

Am I accessing this wrong?

Answer 1

I suspect your problem (as I commented) is XSS related.

Try using JSONP instead of raw JSON; we just added support for the jsonp parameter.

Answer 2

As Kevin says, XSS. Try this instead:

$.getJSON("http://api.stackoverflow.com/0.8/stats?jsonp=?", function(data){
alert(data.statistics[0]['total_questions']);
});
