Example call to the Marvel API from js client (w/ JQuery)

marvel-api-client.js

// you will also have to setup the referring domains on your marvel developer portal
var PRIV_KEY = "this-should-be-a-long-hash";
var PUBLIC_KEY = "so-should-this";

function getMarvelResponse() {

  // you need a new ts every request                                                                                    
  var ts = new Date().getTime();
  var hash = CryptoJS.MD5(ts + PRIV_KEY + PUBLIC_KEY).toString();
  
  // the api deals a lot in ids rather than just the strings you want to use
  var characterId = '1009718'; // wolverine                                                                             


  var url = 'http://gateway.marvel.com:80/v1/public/comics';

  console.log(url);
  $.getJSON(url, {
    ts: ts,
    apikey: PUBLIC_KEY,
    hash: hash,
    characters: characterId
    })
    .done(function(data) {
      // sort of a long dump you will need to sort through
      console.log(data);
    })
    .fail(function(err){
      // the error codes are listed on the dev site
      console.log(err);
    });
};

getMarvelResponse();

Following line 2 instruction:
¿How do you test in localhost?

Hi, you just write 'localhost' as your authorized referrer on your developer account.

thanks 👍

For me it worked *.* instead of localhost

This is the first API where I am required to hash anything in their query. Is this common practice?

For me it worked *.* instead of localhost

Me too, thank you !
