If you use a modern browser (FF3.5+,Chrome 3+,Safari 4+,IE8+) you can now access Pipes data using AJAX from a different domain.
You can use YUI3 IO (use: ‘native’) to make the request for you or you can hand craft your own.
Some sample code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Pipes CORS test</title>
<script src="https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/raw/master/json2.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="output">
</div>
<script>
function createCORSRequest(method, url){
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in xhr) {
xhr.open(method, url, true);
} else
if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
xhr = new XDomainRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
} else {
xhr = null;
}
return xhr;
}
var request = createCORSRequest("get", "http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=ZKJobpaj3BGZOew9G8evXg&_render=json&ticker=YHOO,GOOG");
if (request) {
request.onload = function(){
var r = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
var holder = "";
for (var x = 0, rl = r.value.items.length; x < rl; x++) {
holder += r.value.items[x].title + "<br>";
holder += r.value.items[x].description;
holder += "<hr>";
}
document.getElementById("output").innerHTML = holder;
};
request.send();
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
