AJAX cross domain call

The only (easy) way to get cross-domain data using AJAX is to use a server side language as the proxy as Andy E noted. Here’s a small sample how to implement that using jQuery:

The jQuery part:

$.ajax({
    url: 'proxy.php',
    type: 'POST',
    data: {
        address: 'http://www.google.com'
    },
    success: function(response) {
        // response now contains full HTML of google.com
    }
});

And the PHP (proxy.php):

echo file_get_contents($_POST['address']);

Simple as that. Just be aware of what you can or cannot do with the scraped data.
