I am just getting myself acquainted with Soundcloud's API and I am having some trouble. As far as I can tell, all I need in SC.initialize is a client_id. I have used the tutorials at Code Academy to get started and it was great. Now that I am actually trying to implement something I am running into some trouble.
When I ran my code in Code Academy, it did exactly what I wanted it to do. Now that I am trying to run it in a browser, I am getting a blank screen and this error:
NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI: Access to restricted URI denied @
http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk
After doing some research, I have found that those errors are related to domain prefixes. So I tried changing it to http://www.connect.soundcloud.com/sdk. But when I do that, I get a different error:
SCis not defined
AHHHH What am I doing wrong?!
I am new to using API's, and any help at all would be very greatly appreciated.
Here is what I am doing:
(JavaScript)
SC.initialize({
client_id: 'hidden for privacy',
});
$(document).ready(function() {
SC.get('/users/5577686/tracks', {limit:7}, function(tracks) {
$(tracks).each(function(index, track) {
$('#tracktitle').append($('<li></li>').html(track.title));
$('#trackimage').append("<img src='" + track.artwork_url + "' />");
$('#play').append("<a href='" + track.permalink_url + "' >" + "Play" + "</a>");
});
});
});
(HTML)
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://connect.soundcloud.com/sdk.js"></script>
<script src="soundcloud.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="tracktitle"></div>
<div id="trackimage"></div>
<div id="play"></div>
</body>
</html>
I don't really think there is anything wrong with the code, as everything seemed to be working fine in Code Academy. I think it is more of an issue with familiarizing myself with the API. Do I need to do some further authentication? Do I need something more than just the client ID? Again I am very stuck and would appreciate any amount of help on this. Thanks for reading.
(I also followed along with Coding for GOOD's Soundcloud API Integration tutorial step-by-step and I am getting the same exact errors, so this further confirms that the code is probably not the problem, but connecting to the API may be)
