Here is how to repeat an AJAX GET call until a specific response is met:
function repeated_ajax_check(url) { $.ajax ({ type: 'GET', url: url, dataType: 'json', success: function(result) { if(result.success) { console.log("We finally met our response!"); console.log(result); //Do something other here, for example: //$('.result-message').html('RESPONSE MET!'); //$('.result-message').show(); }else{ console.log("Response not yet met."); console.log(result); wait(1000); repeated_ajax_check(url); } }, error: function() { console.log("There was an error."); //Want to repeat AJAX call also in case of error? //Then just uncomment the following two lines: //wait(1000); //repeated_ajax_check(url); } }); } |
We use the following wait() function to wait 1 second between each AJAX call:
function wait(ms) { const start = performance.now(); while(performance.now() - start < ms); } |
You can use the function like this:
repeated_ajax_check("https://api.ipify.org?format=json"); |
