Azure IOT Hub Rest API with Javascript

Question

I would like to receive IOT Hub messages from an endpoint. With client side Javascript and REST.

I used this article https://msdn.microsoft.com/nl-nl/library/mt590786.aspx for creating the URL.

This is my code:

function readIOTHub()
{
  $.getJson("https://MyIOTHub.azure-devices.net/devices/device1/messages/devicebound?api-version=2016-02-03", function(result)
  {
    alert(result);
  });
}

But my Request is not receiving any messages. Does someone know how to receive messages from IOT Hub, with Javascript REST?

I don't think this is currently possible, first because, from what I see, Azure IoT hub REST API does not issue CORS requests (i.e. they don't write in the CORS header access-control-allow-origin), so your JS client can't access it from within the browser.
