JSONP issue?

[ayezee33]

Hey, thanks for putting this together. I am very new to api calls so forgive me.

I realized that I can't just make a simple $.getJSON call because of the same origin policy.

So I am trying to use JSONP to get around that. Here is my code:

$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://www.medalbot.com/api/v1/medals/united-states',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function() { console.log('Success!'); },
error: function() { console.log('Uh Oh!'); },
jsonp: 'jsonp'
});

However, I keep getting an error Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : any thoughts on how to get around this?

Still poking around on this. Again, I am new to all of the API/JSON logic. But when I call the request with dataType : json I get Accept:application/json, text/javascript in the header.

However, I think I will need to use JSONP to make this work and I only get Accept: application/json

Could this be the root of the problem?

Whatsmore, I see the request returning a successful array in my network tabs but it is not showing up in the console.
