Getting results from API

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 24.2008

I’m looking for some help in using an API – I know my HTML, PHP, and some javascript – but I’ll admit that I’m brand new to API’s.

I want a code that returns the results of [URL=”http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Diggfeedr/~3/240485152/1337″]this[/URL] page.

Something like this:

[CODE]function tinyconvert(url) {
newurl = some_function_i_don’t_know(‘http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=’ + url);
return newurl;
}[/CODE]

@parterburnauthorMar 01.2008 — I'm still trying to find a solution for all this...and found a site that might help:

http://remysharp.com/tinyurlapi

I'm still no resident expert in Javascript so would really like some help in deciphering the code Remy presents:
[CODE]
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
window.onload = function() {
var s = document.createElement('script');
var v = document.getElementById('url').value;
s.setAttribute('src', 'http://remysharp.com/tinyurlapi?callback=tinyurlCallback&url=' + v);
document.body.appendChild(s);
}

function tinyurlCallback(url) {
alert('URL converted to: ' + url);
}
</script>[/CODE]

Is there anyway of turning this into one function so that I can call it & send a URL to it and it returns the tinyurl? I'm using it in a Greasemonkey script, so the above code doesn't work for me.

Success!
