read-only API access

[erstwhile]

I'd like to be able to embed content from a pad into an html page hosted on a remote domain - essentially use the jquery api to turn etherpad-lite into a platform for serving widgets. I don't want to expose the pad name in the code or ajax request - so I'd like to be able to do API methods like /getText or /getHTML but they would /getReadOnlyText /getReadOnlyHtml or have a "readOnly" flag in the getText and getHTML requests, so I can pass the read-only ID to a pad and retrieve the text or html thru cross-domain ajax.

Maybe you can simply do a request on the RO link and then extract the body ?

For instance, http://notes.jtlebi.fr/p/test becomes http://notes.jtlebi.fr/ro/r.x8JVADIpJqVO2btN

getReadOnlyID(padID) returns the read only link of a pad

Example returns:

{code: 0, message:"ok", data: {readOnlyID: "r.s8oes9dhwrvt0zif"}}
{code: 1, message:"padID does not exist", data: null}

johnyma22 - what I want is the inverse of what you posted. I want to say

/api/1/getFromReadOnlyId?readOnlyID=r.oG8HIIx43VIiRqmc

and get back

{code: 0, message:"ok", data: {padID: "test"}}

either that or some way to pass a readOnlyID through the API and get back the text of that pad, without having to expose the padID in the API call.
