Anybody out there using the NY times best seller API to do stuff on their
library websites?
I can't figure out what's wrong with my code here.
Data is returned as "null"; I can't seem to parse the response with jQuery.
Any help would be supercool.
I removed the API key - my code doesn't actually contain 'xxxx'.
Here's the jQuery:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
$(function(){
//json request to new york times
$.getJSON('
http://api.nytimes.com/svc/books/v2/lists/hardcover-fiction.json?&api-key=xxxx',
function(data) {
//loop through the results with the following
function
$.each(data.results.book_details, function(i,item){
//turn the title into a variable
var bookTitle = item.title;
$('#container').append('<p>'+bookTitle+'</p>');
});
});
});
});
Here's a snippet of the JSON response:
