Facebook count using ajax

I have a problem with getting number of shares of my custom url. Im trying this code:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://graph.facebook.com/https://www.myurl.com/somelink/?callback=?",
processData: true,
contentType: 'application/json',
success: function(r){
var fbjson = JSON.stringify(r);
console.log(fbjson);
}
});
I've tried also:
$.getJSON('http://graph.facebook.com/https://www.myurl.com/somelink/?cal‌​lback=?'), function (data) {
fbjson = JSON.stringify(fbjson);
console.log(fbjson);
};
When I paste url into browser I recieving JSON with all needed information, but when I am using $.ajax etc. I am recieving totaly different json or some error that I should use XMLHttpRequest or some other serwer status information. Important knowladge may be that I am using https://.
Anyone know how to correctly get FB share count for custom URL ?
PS Be understanding for me, this are my first steps in JS, thanks :)

For the json might be cooke issue. your browser have cookie for that URL but in ajax you need to pass that cookie !
Why you are counting share count manually ?
There is lots of share tools is available for fee !
example : http://js-socials.com/
I think this plugin will give you what you need !
Thanks

I've solve it. This script work correctly ;)
(function fbcount() {
var token = 'token here',
url = 'url here';
$.ajax({
url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.7/',
dataType: 'jsonp',
type: 'GET',
data: {access_token: token, id: url},
success: function(data){
$('.facebook-scount').append(data.share.share_count);
},
error: function(data){
}
});
})();
Thanks!

How do you send a webhook request via a google docs add-on?

I'd like to create a google-docs add-on that sends an ajax call to a webhook.
I've tried the below, but I get the following error
Error
ReferenceError: "$" is not defined. (line 5, file "")
Code
function myFunction() {
var arr = 'data'
$.ajax({
url: 'webhook_url',
type: 'POST',
data: arr,
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
dataType: 'json',
async: false,
success: function () {
alert('Success');
}
});
}
If ajax can't be used here is there any other way to make a request to a server-side resource

This is an OLD question, so I don't know if you still have the issue, but, from the error you're getting Jquery is either not added, or not available.
You could try doing it with vanilla js, see this link for a walkthrough: https://www.sitepoint.com/guide-vanilla-ajax-without-jquery/

JSON issue with jQuery (JSONP)

I have a strange issue using jQuery and JSON, especially JSONP.
My goal is to simply GET JSON data, but I always end up with the following error:
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token
Here is the code:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var myurl = "someurl";
$.ajax({
url: myurl,
method: 'GET',
contentType: 'application/javascript',
dataType : 'jsonp',
success: function(result){
//Do something with JSON result
}
});
</script>
And of course the JSON (raw format):
{"result":[{"targetView":"powerUsage","myData":{"someItems":["9","5","8"],"someItems2":[{"text":"protoText","currentRecord":"45.38","absolute":100}]}}]}
I tried the webservice with the Advanced Rest Client App in Google Chrome and it is working perfectly. I have no clue why this simple example gets this syntax error message.

Your Ajax code looks like fine. I think you are trying to make a Cross domain call as JSONP is a hack for dealing cross domain ajax call. If you Server code if ready for dealing with JSONP request then you must have send a callback parameter like
?callback=my_callback_method
than you service will return result with a callback see below links for more details:
https://learn.jquery.com/ajax/working-with-jsonp/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11736431/make-cross-domain-ajax-jsonp-request-with-jquery

You missed to put ready function close, that is }); at the last before script tag close:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
var myurl = "someurl";
$.ajax(
{
url: myurl,
method: 'GET',
contentType: 'application/javascript',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(result)
{
//Do something with JSON result
}
});
});
</script>

Using JQuery to process GET request of Transloc API

I am trying to use JQuery to access Transloc's API (https://www.mashape.com/transloc/openapi-1-2#!documentation). I have not used JQuery or this API before. If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

I can't test this as I don't have a key but it should work in theory.
Using the endpoint you linked to. Change the url for what you need.
$.ajax({
type:"GET",
beforeSend: function (request)
{
request.setRequestHeader("X-Mashape-Authorization", <mashape-key>);
},
url: "https://transloc-api-1-2.p.mashape.com/agencies.json?agencies=12%2C16&geo_area=35.80176%2C-78.64347%7C35.78061%2C-78.68218&callback=call",
processData: false,
success: function(data) {
//use data
},
error: function(data) {
//handle error
}
});

simple REST call from Javascript

I am trying to call my service from here
http://diningphilospher.azurewebsites.net/api/dining
using below javascript,
$.ajax(
{
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
url: "http://diningphilospher.azurewebsites.net/api/dining/",
success: function (data)
{
alert(data);
}
});
But I am getting error relating cross origin. I see people suggest using JSONP but I guess my server does not support JSONP. I studied CORS and could not understand the head or tail of it. I would like to know the way around to read the JSON that sits in different domain.

I hope this should work:
$.ajax(
{
type: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
url: "http://diningphilospher.azurewebsites.net/api/dining/",
success: function (data)
{
alert(data);
}
});
Or just add/append ?callback=? along with your cross-domain url.
