    I have made a small change to the API which permits cross-origin usage of the API. This means that - if for some reason you want to - you can now have browser-side javascript make calls to the API.

    Proof of concept code using jquery is at https://poc.kag2d.com/jquery-API/displayPlayers.html

    You can see that this makes a cross-origin call from poc.kag2d.com to api.kag2d.com (yes, they are under the same domain - but this works cross-domain too)

    Note that if the page is blank, that means that the server embedded in my code does not currently have any players. You can copy the html to your own computer/server with jquery and edit it to use any different server (just change the URL in the API call)
