Jquery Ajax call with GET parameters won't return nothing

Question

I want to retrive a detail of a video throught the redtube API. if i copy and paste the link in the browser all works fine http://api.redtube.com/?data=redtube.Videos.getVideoById&video_id=15485&output=json&thumbsize=all

Note: May be offensive to some users, it's a porn API.

But when i attempt to receive the json object throught an ajax call, no result is given and the call goes in error

$.ajax({
      url : 'http://api.redtube.com/?data=redtube.Videos.getVideoById&video_id=15485&output=json&thumbsize=all',
      dataType : 'json',
      success: function (res) 
                {
                 alert (res)

                },
     error : function (res) {alert(res.code);}      
})

Why?

I dunno, I just had three chocolate sticks at my desk. Nobody complained, in fact we shared. — Dave Newton, Aug 06 '13 at 01:54
Look at your javascript error console. You are being blocked by the same origin policy. See if their API has a jsonp option, or do the API call on the server. — Jason P, Aug 06 '13 at 01:55

And can i perform the call from server side in php ? Same origin policy is only for client side right? — user2590550, Aug 06 '13 at 02:02

You can't make AJAX call to the API due to same-origin policy. Learn more about it here

yes, you can call the API from server and make AJAX call to your own server. – Stanley Aug 06 '13 at 02:01
