javascript - Ajax web API call -

i trying json data web api

http://www.streetdirectory.com/api/?mode=search&act=all&profile=sd_default&q=640724&limit=1&show_additional=0&output=json 

using ajax, encountering issue whereby getting error.

var addresses = new array(); getaddress(); var myurl = "http://www.streetdirectory.com/api/?mode=search&act=all&profile=sd_default&q=640724&limit=1&show_additional=0&output=json"; function getaddress() { //get addresses streetdirectory web api         $.ajax({             type: "get",             url: myurl,             datatype: "json",             success: function(response){                 addresses = response;                 alert(response);             },             error: function(e) {                 alert('error: '+e);                 console.log('error: ' +e);             }           }); } 

updated error on console.

it seems it's because directly accessing html. have since moved host on localhost. it's still having error, without description now...

after shifting function call after function definition, getting error.

you should use console.log instead of alert. logging console allow investigate objects being returned.

since ajax call , error handler being called, it's status of response not 200.
