• Cross-origin resource sharing
• JSON-P callbacks

Where applicable the Path of Exile API implements cross-origin resource sharing to allow cross domain access. In general this means that you can do a cross domain request with no extra work. Note that this will only work with modern browsers. Alternatively you may use JSON-P callbacks.

JSON-P is another method to access data cross domain. API GET methods support a callback argument which wraps the resulting JSON in a function call to the function name you provide.

If you are using a library such as jQuery methods such as jQuery.ajax support this out of the box by setting the dataType to "jsonp".

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://api.pathofexile.com/league/Hardcore',
    dataType: 'jsonp'
}).done(function(league) {
    console.log("Got", league.id, "league");
});

Note that there are a few basic restrictions in place on the allowed characters for the callback. More information on JSON-P can be found here.
