It is possible to get records of the British Library dataset by requesting output from bibliographica via jquery. Here is an example:
<!-- get a copy of jquery locally -->
<!--
-->
<!-- get a copy of jquery from google CDN -->
<!-- add the jquery to do useful stuff -->
// on document ready, do something
$(document).ready(function() {
// insert a hello world to check this is working
$('body').html("hello world");
// do an ajax jquery call
// this just callls to a url
// which is at http://bnb.bibliographica.org
// appended with
// /entry/GB5000065.json to get that particular record in json
$.ajax(
{ type: "get",
url: "http://bnb.bibliographica.org/entry/GB5000065.json",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
// on success, do something with the output data
for ( item in data ) {
alert("here is an item name " + item);
}
},
}
);
})
<!-- we do not need anything in here -->
This works in Firefox at least…
