Question

I try to fetch data from wikilocation.org. As far as i get it, i need to use jsonp to manage this. This basically works with this code:

$.ajax({
   url:'http://api.wikilocation.org/articles',
   dataType: "jsonp",
   cache: false,
   jsonp:'onJsonPLoad',
   jsonpcallbackString: "addPoi",
   data: {'lng': newPoi.lon, 'lat': newPoi.lat, 'limit':5, 'radius':100, 'jsonp':'addPoi'}
});

My problem is, that i do not want to call another function (addPoi in the snippet) to be able to work with the result. I neet the result directly inside the function, where i make the ajax call. Is that possible? Am I missing something?

This will work: Example

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://api.wikilocation.org/articles',
    dataType: "jsonp",
    jsonpCallback: 'addPoi',
    cache: false,
    success: function(data) {
        alert(data)
    },
    data: {
        'lng': newPoi.lon,
        'lat': newPoi.lat,
        'limit': 5,
        'radius': 100,
        'jsonp': 'addPoi'
    }
});

You have to send wikilocation a function name, and tell jQuery what to expect like you did. Then all you needed to do was add the success: function (data) { ... }
