MTGox has a websockets interface that you might be able to use instead.

here's the forum topic with lots of info (also on the currently existing bugs):

Easy, yes, but I have neither a reliable server nor a reliable IP. I was hoping to rely on mtgox.

I had a similar problem - so had to create a proxy script to run on my server. Pretty easy to do actually.

Your best bet would be to cache the ticker to your server at certain intervals and query that as json. Undecided

In the mean time, that means that you'll have to have your server grab the data and act as a proxy.

Darn, I was hoping to avoid that. Ah well.

Thank you for your help!

But it -is- cross domain, so json isn't an option, right?

Firefox gives neither an error nor the javascript alert and chrome fails as expected with the following:

Code:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://mtgox.com/code/data/ticker.php. Origin http://[___MY_SITE___] is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

That actually depends on the site. That said, it appears that MtGox supports neither CORS or JSONP. You'll have to ask him about it.

dataType: 'jsonp'

The dataType should just be 'json', since that's all your getting back. Besides, unless you control the server giving you the data, you shouldn't use jsonp.

Any thoughts on why this fails?

Code:

In firefox 4.0.1, I get this error:

Code:

In chrome 12.0.742.91, I get these errors:
