how could I access on the data that looks like in another server

I just finished AJAX courses and heard about request limitation to another server. In this project, it looks like accessing another server, but how could we access and get data with\out any request error??.. is it CORPS..? I'm pretty confused.

Are you perhaps asking about CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)? That's a security restriction that requires special header information from both the client and server to overcome.

One really nice feature of the AJAX functions in the jQuery library is that they contain code that transparently resolves many CORS issues. If you have problems with CORS when using other methods, I'd suggest refactoring with jQuery.
