An unofficial API for CodePen made by a fan.
This simple API parses the requested CodePen page with the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser and returns JSON.
2012 - 2015 by http://timpietrusky.com
http://codepen-awesomepi.timpietrusky.com
The response is JSON-encoded (content-type: application/json).
If you want to use the response within JavaScript you can append jsonp as a callback.
Get your CodePens onto your website with pentizr.js.
$(function() {
$('.my-pens').pentizr({username: 'TimPietrusky'});
});<body>
<div class="my-pens"></div>
</body>$.ajax({
dataType: 'jsonp',
jsonp: 'jsonp',
url: 'http://codepen-awesomepi.timpietrusky.com/picks',
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});If the value of a field is not specified, it will get the value null.
If the request is invalid you will get an error:
{
"status" : {
"code":1337,
"message":"invalid"
},
"content":null
};Why are there four URLs?
