I am trying to create a simple Weather APP and I am using the jquery Ajax method to retrieve the data from openweathermap. I am using the following method to get the data.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#submitWeather').click(function(){
let city = $("#city").val();
if(city != ''){
//Get the AJAX request.
$.ajax({
url:'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=' + city + "&appid=b1b15e88fa797225412429c1c50c122a1",
type: "GET",
//jsonpadded.
dataType: "jsonp",
//the callback for success.
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
}else {
$("#error").html('Field cannot be empty');
}
});
});
The problem I am having is that it is not getting the data showing it in the console.log. This is the error I am getting in the console.log
jquery.min.js:4 GET http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London&appid=b1b15e88fa797225412429c1c50c122a1&callback=jQuery31106677768465103353_1512307813960&_=1512307813961 net::ERR_ABORTED
send @ jquery.min.js:4
ajax @ jquery.min.js:4

dispatch @ jquery.min.js:3
q.handle @ jquery.min.js:3
the dataType of ajax request is "json" not "jsonp"
dataType (default: Intelligent Guess (xml, json, script, or html))
ref: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/
$.ajax({
url:'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=' + city + "&appid=b1b15e88fa797225412429c1c50c122a1",
type: "GET",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
UPDATE:
openweathermap supports "JSONP" but you are using it wrongly here is an example of how to use it with $.ajax to call a named method
function callback(data){
console.log(data);
}
$.ajax({
url:'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=' + city + "&appid=b1b15e88fa797225412429c1c50c122a1",
type: "GET",
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonp : "callback",
jsonpCallback: "callback"
});
