From version 3.2+ you will be able to use jsonp feature. In this case you will need to send an extra field callback during GET or POST request. Example in jQuery:
jQuery("document").ready(function($){
var url = "http://MyJoomla.com/index.php?option=com_hoicoiapi&task=getContents&token=TOKEN";
$.ajax({
method: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
url: url,
success: function(res){
console.log(res);
},
error: function(res){
console.log(res);
}
})
})Without jQuery:
var url = "http://MyJoomla.com/index.php?option=com_hoicoiapi&task=getContents&token=TOKEN&callback=MYCALLBACK";
