Cross-domain website promotion

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Feb 05.2020

I’d like to offer a way to my users to promote my website([cool font at fontvilla](https://fontvilla.com/cool-font-generator/)), blog etc. on their website. I can make a banner, logo whatever that they can embed to their site, but I’d like to offer dynamic content, like “the 5 newest entry’s title from my blog”.

The problem is the same origin policy. I know there is a solution (and I use it): they embed a simple div and a JavaScript file. The JS makes an XmlHttpRequest to my server and gets the data as JSONP, parses the data and inserts into the div.

But is it the only way? Isn’t there a better way I could do this? On the Internet there are tons of widget (or whatever, I don’t know how they call…) that gain the data from another domain. How they do that?

@johncarryJun 11.2021 — If you go the JSONP route, you will implicitly ask your users to trust you, as they will give you full access to the resources of their page (content, cookies,...). If they know that they main complain.

While if you go the iframe route there is no problems.

One famous example today of embeddable content by iframe is the Like button of facebook.

And making that server side with a proxy or other methods would be much more complex, as there are plenty of environments out there. I don't know other ways.

Success!
