REST API requests to WordPress.com via XMLHttpRequest (and CORS)
You likely want to use the high-level APIs in wpcom.js
instead of using this module directly.
Works in both the browser and Node.js via superagent.
Install wpcom-xhr-request using npm:
$ npm install wpcom-xhr-request
<html>
<body>
<script src="wpcom-xhr-request.js"></script>
<script>
WPCOM.xhr('/me', function(err, res){
if (err) throw err;
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = 'Your WordPress.com "username" is: <b>@' + res.username + '<\/b>';
document.body.appendChild(div);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
For API requests that require authentication to WordPress.com, you must pass in an
OAuth token as the authToken parameter in the params object for the API call.
You can get an OAuth token server-side through
node-wpcom-oauth, or any other OAuth2 interaction
mechanism.
