Api calls and javascript/ajax calls

[Richard]

I'm trying to use the api via javascript/ajax, but I can not get this to work, although the code I use does work with other api's.

Is it even possible to make calls to the goodreads api via ajax/xmlhttp?

Our API depends on private keys so i don't think it's very suited for javascript.


Also all modern browsers should prevent this as it is considered cross site scripting (malicious).



Facebook does some cool tricks to get around this. We don't.
