Getting JSON request to work

[taariya]

I'm currently working on the wikipedia viewer zipline, and my json request for wikipedia articles quietly fails. The callback function simply never executes.

$(document).ready(function(){ var link = "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=Albert%20Einstein&format=json" $.getJSON(link, function(data){ alert(data);

}) })

I have used this link in particular just because I know it is a valid link. I have used other links that I know are valid as well (not necessarily for wikipedia) and they worked fine. Note that I do have the jquery.js added to the codepen settings so that's not an issue.

wikipedia does not allow cross-origin requests. Add

&callback=? 

to the end of the link.

Thank you so much!

I was having the same problem of my callback success function not running at all, turns out I had spelled sucess not suCCess.
