Use GWS In JavaScript

The code below shows how the GPlates Web Service can be used in JavaScript. You might also want to check out the gplates-js at https://github.com/michaelchin/gplates-js#readme.

var url = 'https://gws.gplates.org/reconstruct/coastlines/?time=50';
var method = "GET"      
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if("withCredentials" in xhr){
    xhr.open(method, url, true);
}else if(typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined"){
    xhr = new XDomainRequest();
    xhr.open(method, url);
}else{
    xhr = null;
}
if (!xhr) {
    throw new Error('Does your web browser support CORS?');
}
xhr.onload = function() {
    var text = xhr.responseText;
    console.log(text);
};
xhr.onerror = function() {
    alert('something is wrong!');
};

xhr.send();
