Using the Data

If you decide to use the data for anything we'd love to hear about it.  Likewise if you would like the data organised in a different hierarchy, if you need the 'average update' results or any other changes you can think of please do let us know.

    I think it could be more confortable

    to have a url like:

    http://www.findmebyip.com/export/by_feature.json

    or

    http://www.findmebyip.com/export/by_browser.json

    suchlike the way twitter does.

    And to have it returning _only_ the valid JSON

    Thanks for the suggestions @matteo.

    I've updated the page so that you can get to the raw json, or indeed the json set as a var. The "callback" and the "var" modes are useful for cross-site requests.

    So:

    • "/json/export" produces "{json}"

    • "/json/export?var=foo" produces "var foo = {json}"

    • "/json/export?callback=foo" produces "callback({json})"

    URL format - yes, completely agree. This was a bit of a quick hack for the guys over at modernizr but I'll look at tidying up the URLs as you suggest on Firday.

    I've tried

    http://www.findmebyip.com/json/export

    and it doesn't work (did you forget an echo ? ).

    What about converting "1"/"0"

    into true/false ?

    Yes. In fact is was single quotes; echo '$json'. Oops.

    I've fixed the zero strings to be booleans for you too.

    Big update tomorrow; Modernizr 1.5 ... and more browsers; new Opera, Safari and IE9 preview etc.. I'll try not to break the json.

    The JSON feed has changed slightly as a consequence of upgrading fmbip.com to Modernizr 1.5.

    Basically we've realigned some of our database columns to fit more closely with the mz object structure.

    Updates:

    -- Input Types are "inputtypes_" prefixed, to match Modernizr's object hierarchy.

    -- Inputs are now "input_" prefixed, to match Modernizr's object hierarchy.

    -- Audio & Video codecs are already "audio_", "video_" prefixed so no change there

    -- "webdatabase" has become "websqldatabase"

    -- "workers" has become "webworkers"

    -- "postmessage" has become "crosswindowmessaging" although I'm not so sure that's a good thing?
