jquery ajax ParseError with Musixmatch API

Question

I am using jQuery 1.11.3 with the following code:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    data: {
        apikey: apiMusixkey,
        q_track: q,
        page_size: 10
    },
    url: "http://api.musixmatch.com/ws/1.1/track.search",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    contentType: 'application/json',
    success: function(data) {
        //console.log(json); 
    },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        console.log(jqXHR);
        console.log(textStatus);
        console.log(errorThrown);
    }
});

I am getting the error:

parseError... [] was not called

What am I doing wrong?

jsonp because it's an external call and i get No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access. if i dont use jsonp — Francesco, Aug 25 '15 at 00:44

Looks like you are missing a few things on your ajax. You need to specify the name of the callback function to handle the jsonp. Also, there's a format parameter you need to use with the musixmatch api. Checkout this plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/XW6TFUJquW8o8EVpEEgU?p=preview

$(function(){

  $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    data: {
        apikey:"309788821d050a0623303261b9ddedc4",
        q_track:"back to december",
        q_artist:"taylor%20swift",
        f_has_lyrics: 1,
        format:"jsonp",
        callback:"jsonp_callback"
    },
    url: "http://api.musixmatch.com/ws/1.1/track.search",
    dataType: "jsonp",
    jsonpCallback: 'jsonp_callback',
    contentType: 'application/json',
    success: function(data) {
        console.log(data); 
    },
    error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        console.log(jqXHR);
        console.log(textStatus);
        console.log(errorThrown);
    }    
  });
 });
