Can Not Get Data From Ajax Request To The Coinhive Api

I recently tried to get the data from a Json API and post that back to a table in html. I tried to do this from: https://api.coinhive.com/user/balance?name=username&secret=myse

Solution 1:

figured it out!

The JSON request:

<?php$url = 'the api url';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
  "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
));

$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$result = json_decode($data, true);

?>

The postback to the end user:

<spanid="test"style="color:white"><?phpif (isset($data))
{
   echo$result['balance'];
}
else
{
   echo'damn';
}
?></span>

I decided to go with php and kind of ditch the html getjson part.

Solution 2:

Client side requests to the Coinhive HTTP API are restricted by CORS rules:

From API documentation:

You should never call the Coinhive HTTP API from the client side.
