Question

$(function(){
    $.getJSON('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getweeklyartistchart&user=ElicitBelief&api_key=25135a535781328243f9e31968abc14&format=json', function(data) {
      alert(data)
    });
});

Firebug says: GET http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getweeklyartistchart&user=ElicitBelief&api_key=25135a535781328243f9e31968abc14&format=json 200 OK
144ms and the URL is red, so it’s presumebly not fetching the data at all.

I can’t think what the problem is.

Answer 1

Presumably the url is in a different domain. You’ll need to use JSONP and add &jsoncallback=? to your query. I assume that the audioscrobbler API supports this.
