JQuery won't get json?

Question

So I\'m trying to complete the simple task of getting json data from google, but this little bit of jquery code won\'t run. Will you please help me figure out why?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. Trying to get json from a server to wich I dind't had access (=> no JSONP).

I found http://benalman.com/projects/php-simple-proxy/ Add the php proxy to your server and do the ajax call to this file.

$.ajax({
   type: 'GET',
   url:'proxy.php?url=http://anyDomain.com?someid=thispage',
   dataType: "json",
   success: function(data){
      // success_fn(data);
   },
   error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
      // error_fn(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown);
   }
});

where proxy.php (the file from Ben Alman) is hosted in your domain
