Not able to send header with xhrfield

Question

I am trying to get flipkart api data . like this but i am not able to send heder with xhrfield HERE IS MY CODE :

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url:'https://affiliate-api.flipkart.net/affiliate/search/json?query=iPhone+mobiles&resultCount=3',
    crossDomain: true,
//    dataType: 'JSONP',
    /*xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
        },*/
  //    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',

      beforeSend : function(xhr) { 
       xhr.withCredentials = true;        
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Fk-Affiliate-Id', 'myid');
        xhr.setRequestHeader('Fk-Affiliate-Token', 'mytoken');
      },
   /*   headers: {
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin':'*',
        'Fk-Affiliate-Id': 'myid',
        'Fk-Affiliate-Token': 'mytoken',
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
      },*/

    success: function(data){ ......
}
});

As you can see comment i ahve tried both but not able to send header with xhrfield . if i comment xhrfield header wil be send

what error do you get. both are correct methods to send headers. Also should myid and mytoken be objects rather than variables and not be included in quotes. — Shubham Khatri, Jul 15 '16 at 17:32

You can not send a header with a JSONP requests since all it does is set a script tag to the page.

A JSONP requests consists of appending a script tag to the page. It adds a callback parameter to the URL which the script listens for when the script is executed. There is no way to add the header to a external script.

The site would need to support JSON request for CORs to send the header.

`// contentType:"application/jsonp", ` Should i do this – Kakul Sarma Jul 15 '16 at 17:41
It is not possible....A script tag can not set headers. It is not making an XMLHttpRequest. – epascarello Jul 15 '16 at 17:42
Then how can i send header , with CORS – Kakul Sarma Jul 15 '16 at 17:45
Change it to a JSON request. And I just noticed you are requesting a `.json` file which is not even JSONP so what you were trying to do looks like a big. – epascarello Jul 15 '16 at 17:46
