Get document information where ajax is loaded

This might not be a well formulated question, what I need is the metadata from the document where the script is begin executed not from where the data is extracted...
We have foo.com/some_title_article.html
inside of it, we have an script

<script>
(function($) {
$(document).ready(function(){
    var id = data.qids;
    var theTime = new Date().getTime();
    $.ajax({
      url: "http://foo.com/apis/shares/api.php?ids="+id+"&amp;time="+theTime
    }).done(function(data) {
      $('#showData').html(data); // This will show a basic html form...
    });
});
})(jQuery);

</script>

inside the file api.php I call a few other java scripts that are related to where that file is stored, as it is right now is working fine, but what I need is to get metadata from some_title_article.html into my other java scripts that is loaded via ajax... sortof like var currentURL = window.location.href; which is declared inside and a java script inside the api.php file, it load the full url as foo.com/some_title_article.html and not foo.com/apis/shares/api.php ...get it?., So, how can get information from the url where the ajax is executed and pass it to the other scripts that are called after the ajax script...

Does this help:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.0.min.js"></script>

<div id="showData"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $.ajax({
      url: "http://foo.com/apis/shares/api.php?ids="+id+"&amp;time="+theTime
    }).done(function(data) {
      var content = data.content;
      var metadata = data.metadata;
      $('#showData').html(content); // This will show a basic html form...
      //Then, do whatever you want to with metadata
    });
</script>

You make api.php return an object where the first key is the content and the second key is the meta data.

Otherwise, if api.php returns a string that already contains meta tags in it, you would need to parse them or add them to the dom and access them that way.

Can you share a sample of what is returned by api.php?
