Introduction

Prayer times made available through api, so everyone can benefit the easy access for prayer times with less effort to develop custom applications for verity of software's / application's.

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.

All API data is served in json format.

JSONP

JSONP is a communication technique used in Javascript. It provides a method to request data from a server in a different domain, something prohibited by typical web browsers because of the same origin policy.

To use jsonp technique, just use callback or jsoncallback parameter on the url and it will call the javascript callback function for execution.

Example

jQuery(function($) {
	 $.getJSON('https://muslimsalat.com/london/daily.json?key=API_KEY&jsoncallback=?', function (times)
	 {
		 $('.prayerTimesExample')
		 .append('Today in '+times.title)
		 .append(' Fajr: '+times.items[0].fajr)
		 .append(' Dhuhr: '+times.items[0].dhuhr)
		 .append(' Asr: '+times.items[0].asr)
		 .append(' Maghrib: '+times.items[0].maghrib)
		 .append(' Isha: '+times.items[0].isha)
		 .append(' by MuslimSalat.com');
	 });
});
