Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : ajax call - javascript

So I'm trying to query the below json feed, however I keep getting the error in the topic.
I've searched around this site for possible answers however none that I've come across have worked so far. Commented out datatype and jsonp, jsonpCallback isnt it either, either is data, I've made sure that it validats via http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ and it does. I really dont know.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://raidbots.com/json/playerdata/us/mannoroth/usiris',
cache:true,
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {
format: 'json',
},
success: ranks,
jsonpCallback:'callbackName',
error: function(data) { console.log(data); },
jsonp: false,
});
function callbackName(data){
console.log("jsonpCallback");
}
var ranks = function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
Thank you

The error is in your JSONp data because it's just JSON and not JSONp. JSONp requires the document to be valid JavaScript containing a function call.
If they don't support jsonp you need to use a proxy script (e.g. a php script on your server that retrieves the document) or ask them to send CORS headers so you can use a normal non-JSONp AJAX call to retrieve the data directly.

Jquery: Probably a syntax Issue in ajax() method - Value not getting sent

I'm able to dump value of the variable message in console .
But im not able to send it off in POST Request.
AJAX call:
chat.throwmsg = function(message) {
if ($.trim(message).length != 0) {
console.log(message);
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/chat.php',
type: 'post',
data: { method: 'throw', message: message} ,
success: function(data) {
chat.fetchmsgs();
$('textarea#entry').val('');
}
});
}
}
This maybe due to wrong syntax, but I've tried both single and double quotes, and combination as well .
With a wild assumption, you are not having any error messages in developer console and chat.php has a post handler forthese parameters
Since your data is JSON, please change the code as this way and have a try..
var temp={ method: 'throw', message: message};
var param=JSON.stringify(temp);
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/chat.php',
type: 'post',
data: param ,
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
chat.fetchmsgs();
$('textarea#entry').val('');
}
});
after reviewing the code I could not find any issues that restrict the data to be sent along with ajax request,if you are having any syntax errors you should have been warned prior the request initialization, however I recommend you to check the request header in the network tab of browser console and see your sending data along with the request if it's there you probably need to check the code of getting the post data in your server-side implementations

JSONP and Framework7

I'm trying to get images from Instagram public api via ajax and JSONP:
var target = https://www.instagram.com/p/BP3Wu_EDXsjdT5Llz13jFv2UeS0Vw0OTxrztmo0/?__a=1?callback=?';
$$.ajax({
type: "GET",
dataType: 'json',
crossDomain: true,
url: target,
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error: function(xhr,status){
console.log("Error"+status);
}
});
I'm getting: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <.
What's wrong?
Thanks
A few mistakes...
var target = 'https://www.instagram.com/p/BP3Wu_EDXsjdT5Llz13jFv2UeS0Vw0OTxrztmo0/?__a=1&callback=';
Changes: Missing ' at the beginning and changed second ? with &
Should work fine
That API with ?__a=1 is undocumented API and does not support JSONP, so you cannot make client side API call using AJAX, you have to make a server side http request and it will work.

How to get a json response from yaler

I create an account with yaler, to comunicate with my arduino yun. It works fine, and i'm able to switch on and off my leds.
Then i created a web page, with a button that calls an ajax function with GET method to yaler (yaler web server accept REST style on the URL)
$.ajax({
url: "http://RELAY_DOMAIN.try.yaler.net/arduino/digital/13/1",
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg){
var jsonStr = msg;
},
error: function(err){
alert(err.responseText);
}
});
This code seem to work fine, infact the led switches off and on, but i expect a json response in success function (msg) like this:
{
"command":"digital",
"pin":13,
"value":1,
"action":"write"
}
But i get an error (error function). I also tried to alert the err.responseText, but it is undefined....
How could i solve the issue? Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance....
If the Web page containing the above Ajax request is served from a different origin, you'll have to work around the same origin policy of your Web browser.
There are two ways to do this (based on http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=304804):
CORS, i.e. adding the header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to the Yun Web service
JSONP, i.e. getting the Yun to serve an additional JS function if requested by the Ajax call with a query parameter ?callback=?
CORS can probably be configured in the OpenWRT part of the Yun, while JSONP could be added to the Brige.ino code (which you seem to be using).
I had the same problem. I used JSONP to solve it. JSONP is JSON with padding. Basically means you send the JSON data with a sort of wrapper.
Instead of just the data you have to send a Java Script function and this is allowed by the internet.
So instead of your response being :
{"command":"digital","pin":13,"value":0,"action":"write"}
It should be:
showResult({command:"analog",pin:13,value:0,action:"write"});
I changed the yunYaler.ino to do this.
So for the html :
var url = 'http://try.yaler.net/realy-domain/analog/13/210';
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: url,
async: false,
jsonpCallback: 'showResult',
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(json) {
console.dir(json.action);
},
error: function(e) {
console.log(e.message);
}
});
};
function showResult(show)
{
var str = "command = "+show.command;// you can do the others the same way.
alert (str);
}
My JSON is wrapped with a showResult() so its made JSONP and its the function I called in the callback.
Hope this helps. If CORS worked for you. Could you please put up how it worked here.

jQuery $.getJSON not working

I am try to get a URL from a one server and using that URL to get contents of another server.
$.ajax({url : 'http://localhost:8080/geturl.jsp?A=1&B=2,C=3',
success : function (data)
{
alert(data);
$.getJSON(data, function (mydata)
{
alert(mydata);
});
},
error : function (data, status, xhr)
{
}
});
I know that we cannot make cross-domain requests in through ajax call, thats why i am using getJSON, i have the following problems
When i simply pass the data to the url part of getJSON (as shown in the code), the alert-box show the correct URL but no get request is being performed ( get requests were monitored from FireBug).
When a hard-code the data to be "http://www.google.com" then the get request is being performed but the no response comes, although the response headers comes and response code is 200 (but it was marked as RED in the Firebug (Dont know why :( )
When I tries to fetch a webpage host in localhost domain, then it is fetched correctly although the response was not JSON.
I have the following doubts
If the getJSON function accecpts only JSON objects as reponse then why no error came when perform above 3.
Whats the correct code to perform my the required functionality.
Suggestions to what happened in each case
Thanks in advance for the answers :)
The getJSON function can only be used across domains to fetch JSONP.
It does not magically evade any security restrictions.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
This should be a working example for jsonp:
var request = jQuery.ajax(
{
url: "http://Your url",
success: function (data) { console.log('success!'); console.log(data); },
error: function (data) { console.log('error!'); console.log(data); },
dataType: "jsonp",
type: "GET",
data: { key: 'value' }
});

JSONP request returning error: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :"

So I'm trying to make a request to the Stack Exchange API with the following jQuery code:
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/stats',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function() { console.log('Success!'); },
error: function() { console.log('Uh Oh!'); }
});
But when I open the file on my machine, in either FireFox or Chrome, and make the request, I get this error:
Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type application/json.
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :
Uh Oh!
I don't have a clue what's going on. I know the Stack Exchange API Gzips its responses, would this cause any trouble?
You have to set an unconventional parameter to get the SO API to work. Rather than the conventional callback, you need to pass a jsonp parameter.
Furthermore, you can't do POST with JSONP.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/stats',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function() { console.log('Success!'); },
error: function() { console.log('Uh Oh!'); },
jsonp: 'jsonp'
});
It is not possible to do cross-domain AJAX using the conventional XMLHTTPRequest. This is for security reasons (it's call the same-origin policy).
There is a workaround. script tags are not subject to this restriction. This means that you can insert a script tag into the document that calls a URL. If you define a globally-accessible function in your script and tell the remote server what that function is called, the server can pass code that wraps the data to be sent in a call to that function.
The difficulty you had here is with the StackOverflow API. Conventionally, you would use the callback argument in your request, to tell the server what your function is called. However, StackOverflow's API asks you to use the jsonp parameter instead.
Try this URL: http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/stats?jsonp=callme
"callme" is the name of your callback function - in your GLOBAL NAMESPACE (window object).
By the way, if you are running Firefox and have the JSONView add-on installed you can test the above URL (and yours for comparison) directly.
Result from calling the URL:
callme({
"statistics": [
...
]
})
