    <p>this probably is a simple (series of) question(s) but I can't wrap my head around it.</p> <p>I'm trying to access the github api from a web app hosted on my site. This is the code in a nutshell:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;style&gt;p { color:red; }&lt;/style&gt; &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function () { $.ajax( {url :'https://api.github.com/repos/janesconference/kievIIPlugins/commits', dataType: "json", cache: false, success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) { var lastCommitSha = data[0].sha; $("p").text("Last commit SHA: " + lastCommitSha); } }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ajax request not (yet) executed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>If I point my browser to this simple page uploaded <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6767816/ghapi.html" rel="noreferrer">on my dropbox account</a> everything is ok. If, instead, I point my browser to this simple page uploaded <a href="http://bitterspring.net/ghapi.html" rel="noreferrer">on my site</a>, I get the infamous <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin</code> exception:</p> <pre><code>XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.github.com/repos/janesconference/kievIIPlugins/commits?_=1360060011783. Origin http://bitterspring.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. </code></pre> <p>So, the questions:</p> <ul> <li>Why does it work on Dropbox?</li> <li>I understand that with CORS it would work even on the website. This is a matter of putting <code>Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *.github.com</code> on my Apache configuration or something like that. But, as quoted from en.wiki, </li> </ul> <blockquote> <p>However, this might not be appropriate for situations in which security is a concern</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li>Is there a way to do this without changing the Apache configuration? Probably, I can't touch the Apache conf of my hosting site, and there's always the security concern. What is the right way to do this?</li> </ul>

    1. CODropbox works fine for me. I tried to register a new application, but I frankly don't know what to put on the Callback URL field : ) Can you give me some pointers on how to set up this? (the link you posted doesn't give me any hint)

    2. COSorry, my mistake, looks like my company is filtering all traffic to dropbox as of recently. Will have a look when I get home :)

    3. COThis is what I have set-up for my page which is using the GH API: Name: ivanzuzak.info URL: ivanzuzak.info Callback URL: ivanzuzak.info So, everything is the same if you're just invoking the API from a static page, which is your situation. You actually don't need the callback URL for your usage scenario, since you just want to enable CORS for a domain, and not use OAuth.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
