Show HN: GetJSON, make ajax requests to anywhere

from the show-hn dept.

GetJSON is a quick weekend hack - a proxy service that fetches whatever you specify and returns it wrapped in a JSONP request.

This makes it easy for in-browser JS to fetch data even from services which don't support JSONP or "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header, without running your own proxy service.

Nice. Have you seen https://github.com/izuzak/urlreq ? Same thing, just on steroids and without the pretty Web app :)

Didn't know about it, you've got some cool features there.

Since you shared the GitHub repo, I first thought you have to install that yourself, but apparently you also host it on AppEngine: http://urlreq.appspot.com/req
