Javascript API
Dec 11th, 2009, 6:50pm  
Hi, so I am relatively new to all these coding.  I was wondering is it possible to use Javascript to retrieve feeds off APIs like Twitter?  And how do you, if possible with either Javascript or Processing, do you link an image into getting a random API feed?  For example, when you click an image, it will display a random feed of a specific category, such as "wishes" for my project.  

I have looked through multiple posts, but am still very confused about it all.  I have just recently found Twitter4J (Twitter's API), but I don't understand what's the difference between it and Twitter's actual ASROM or JSON API?

There's no need for Javascript to retrieve textual feeds from an URL. It's easier if your feed can output XML.

See


Example :
Code:
String feed = "http://twitter.com/statuses/public_timeline.xml";

XMLElement result = new XMLElement(this, feed);

Answered in PImages call API feeds.
Also that's JavaScript, not Javascript (yes, I am niggling).
