API Help

Hey,

I'm playing around with API's to learn some new things, but I can't figure this out.

I'm trying to call the SharedCount API: https://www.sharedcount.com which seems really simple, but I''m failing miserably..

It's a web based API so it's examples are catered to web development, rather than Unity of course.

But here's the example for jQuery:

Code (Boo):

1. jQuery.sharedCount = function(url, fn) {
2.     url = encodeURIComponent(url || location.href);
3.     var domain = "//sample.sharedcount.com/"; /* SET DOMAIN */
4.     var apikey = "" /*API KEY HERE*/
5.     var arg = {
6.         data: {
7.             url : url,
8.             apikey : apikey
9.         },
10.         url: domain,
11.         cache: true,
12.         dataType: "json"
13.     };
14.     if ('withCredentials' in new XMLHttpRequest) {
15.         arg.success = fn;
16.     }
17.     else {
18.         var cb = "sc_" + url.replace(/\W/g, '');
19.         window[cb] = fn;
20.         arg.jsonpCallback = cb;
21.         arg.dataType += "p";
22.     }
23.     return jQuery.ajax(arg);
24. };

And here's my attempt to do it in unity, and I've purposely blanked out my API key:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class GetShareCount : MonoBehaviour {
2.     public string urlTest;
3.    
4.     void Start () {
5.         string url = "http://free.sharedcount.com/?" + urlTest;
6.  
7.         WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
8.        
9.         form.AddField("domain", url);
10.         form.AddField("apikey", "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" );
11.        
12.         WWW www = new WWW(url, form);
13.         StartCoroutine(WaitForRequest(www));
14.     }
15.    
16.     IEnumerator WaitForRequest(WWW www) {
17.         yield return www;
18.  
19.         if (www.error == null)
20.             Debug.Log("WWW Ok!: " + www.text);
21.         else
22.             Debug.Log("WWW Error: "+ www.error);
23.     }
24. }
25.  

I've tried a few things, but all of them result in a 405 method not allowed error from the API

Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks

 

Hi,

Did you try this as a unityScript(Javascript)? As jquery is a wrapper around javascript,i think this should work if you write your script in unityscript? give it a try and let me know.

By the way, 405 is a client side error.So the request may not be hitting the server at all.

 

Hey,

No I haven't tried it in unity script, but I imagine the jquery wouldn't execute surely? It doesn't use unitys syntax right?

And I'd rather keep it in C#, I prefer it.

Besides I want to know why it's not working
