Creating the script wrapper


We won't be making use of jQuery's $(document).ready() { } function (or the $(function() { }) shortcut) to execute our code when the page has loaded. However, we still need to protect our top-level variables and functions from the global scope so we still need a wrapper of some kind. In this task we'll create that wrapper, as well as our top-level variables.

Engage Thrusters

In the empty bounty-hunter.js file, we can start by adding the following code:

(function() {

    var tags = "",
          getBounties = function(page, callback) {

        $.ajax({
            url: "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.0/questions/featured",
            dataType: "jsonp",
            data: {
                page: page,
                pagesize: 10,
                tagged: tags,
                order: "desc",
                sort: "activity",
                site: "stackoverflow",
                filter: "!)4k2jB7EKv1OvDDyMLKT2zyrACssKmSCX
