It should be much easier to get it to work using CosmJS. It is an officially supported library and provides full coverage of Cosm API.
JSONP pass api key
Question
I've got an arduino uploading sensor data to cosm.com. I made a simple webpage on my local web server to query the cosm.com API and print out the values.
The problem is that if I am not logged into cosm.com in another tab, I get this popup.
The solution is to pass my public key to cosm.com, but I am in way over my head here.
The documentation gives an example of how to do it in curl, but not javascript
curl --request GET --header "X-ApiKey: -Ux_JTwgP-8pje981acMa5811-mSAKxpR3VRUHRFQ3RBUT0g" https://api.cosm.com/v2/feeds/120687/datastreams/sensor_reading
How do I pass my key into the url?:
function getJson() {
$.ajax({
type:'GET',
url:"https://api.cosm.com/v2/feeds/120687/datastreams/sensor_reading",
//This line isn't working
data:"X-ApiKey: -Ux_JTwgP-8pje981acMa5811-mSAKxpR3VRUHRFQ3RBUT0g",
success:function(feed) {
var currentSensorValue = feed.current_value;
$('#rawData').html( currentSensorValue );
},
dataType:'jsonp'
});
}
UPDATE: It must be possible because hurl.it is able to query the api http://www.hurl.it/hurls/75502ac851ebc7e195aa26c62718f58fecc4a341/47ad3b36639001c3a663e716ccdf3840352645f1
UPDATE 2: While I never did get this working, I did find a work around. Cosm has their own javascript library that does what I am looking for.

OTHER TIPS
You need to send it as a header, not as a query string, so try this:
function getJson() {
$.ajax({
type:'GET',
url:"https://api.cosm.com/v2/feeds/120687/datastreams/sensor_reading",
headers:{"X-ApiKey": "-Ux_JTwgP-8pje981acMa5811-mSAKxpR3VRUHRFQ3RBUT0g"},
success:function(feed) {
var currentSensorValue = feed.current_value;
$('#rawData').html( currentSensorValue );
},
dataType:'jsonp'
});
}
