Question

I am trying to use json data from an external provider api's. When I type their json url into the browser, it shows all the json data I need to see. However, when I try to access it using jquery, I get errors, even though google chrome shows the correct json data in the dev tools section:

enter image description here

Because of this, I assume it means that the data is actually getting retrieved? Anyway, this is the script I am using:

$.ajax({
    url: "https://some_url_here_from_different_domain.json",
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    jsonp: 'callback',
    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
        alert(error); //<- returns Error: jQuery11020135121880332008_1387982597648 was not called
        alert(xhr.responseText); //<- returns undefined
    },
    success: function(data) { 
        alert("success");
    }
});

How do I get further error details so I can understand what's causing the error to appear?

Your JSONP code is fine and should work, but the endpoint you're calling in the example is returning JSON instead of JSONP regardless of your code.

Endpoint: https://localbitcoins.com/sell-bitcoins-online/national-bank-transfer/.json?callback=jQuery110202691209970507771_1387997968891&_=1387997968892

Difference: What are the differences between JSON and JSONP?

Possible solutions:

Contact localbitcoins and ask them to enable JSONP for that URL
Setup a proxy server to pull in the data and return JSONP yourself - good starting point might be: https://npmjs.org/package/json-proxy

Why would they provide a public api which only returns json, and not jsonp? What use is data especially when it's public if it can't be used cross domain? – oshirowanen Dec 25 '13 at 19:12

So far my understanding, you want to get json data using ajax call.

According to this link - Can't get json data from jQuery ajax call

Use dataType: 'json' instead of 'jsonp'

var jsonData;

$.ajax({
        url: "https://some_url_here_from_different_domain.json",
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(response) {
            jsonData = response;
        }
});

I think I need to specify jsonp because it's cross domain. Please look at the second link in my question to see what happens with I don't specify jsonp. – oshirowanen Dec 25 '13 at 16:18
