I am building a sports site and need to acccess the json data that is accessible from http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/game-center/2012020500/2012020500_gtd.json . On my page I am trying to get this data from an ajax. Here is my script below.

<div id="data"></div>

<script>
    $.ajax({
       url: 'http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/game-center/2012020500/2012020500_gtd.json',
       dataType: 'json',
       success: function(data) {
          var items = [];

          $.each(data, function(key, value) {

            $('#data').html(value);

          });

        },
    });
</script>

When I do this i just get "261" on my page. I had assumed i would see all the values. A lot of this data is nested and everything I read was just saying to do something like the script I have above. There are tons of different keys and values and I'll be trying to get select ones in the future. I have tried var variable = data.home.score; but that just got blank results..

Here is an example of some of the data when indented.

"home":{  
     "score":{  
        "1":0,
        "2":10,
        "3":7,
        "4":0,
        "5":0,
        "T":17
     },

Am I going about getting this data completely wrong? Can anyone help me get on the right path? Any insight or link's to answers that may help me would be much appreciated.

  • You want to see **all** the values? Try `
    ` instead of a `
    ` and use `$('#data').text(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))`

The JSON from the URL looks like the following, but I have shortened it for better readability.

{
  "2012020500": {
    "home": {
      "score": {
        "1": 0,
        "2": 10,
        "3": 7,
        "4": 0,
        "5": 0,
        "T": 17
      },
          "abbr": "NE",
.....
.....
.....
},
  "nextupdate": 261
}

The following loop reads key-value pairs from the received JSON and populates the value in '#data' . So for each element it replaces the old one. Since 261 is the last value, it is intact.

$.each(data, function(key, value) {
    $('#data').html(value);
});

In order to print all the values in a node, it is required to dynamically create elements.

$.each(home, function(key, value) {
    $('#data').append("<div>"+value+"<div>");
});

To get the scores, need to fetch the 'score' node and read the values like the following.

$.ajax({url: 'http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/game-center/2012020500/2012020500_gtd.json',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data) {
        var score= data["2012020500"].home.score;
        $.each(score, function(key, value) {
            $('#data').append("<div>"+key+" - "+value+"<div>");
        });
    }
});
