Can we query from Javascript?+discussion

Generally speaking, the recommended pattern is something like this:

1. compose and execute WQL on the server (in cards)

2. request a json response to that query (typically by adding ".json" to a search card)

3. use that json in your javascript.

For #1 you can consider passing variable names (see $keyword in search bar) or daisy-chaining search cards (eg ratings+gametype+whatever).

For #2, you might look at some of the views here, especially atom.

Neither of these are well documented, in part because the API is not considered finalized. So there's a chance future upgrades may require some code refactoring, but we are deeply committed to taking our support for this kind of work much further.
