无法获得Ajax请求以json在jQuery中工作

Question

This is for the socket.io chat site called cytu.be. I know the msg code is correct. I guess ajax isn't working here for some reason though. I found this cors-server link from some angularjs code on github thinking it might work. Any possibility of making this link work? (warning: sorry it has explicit pornographic words in it)

        if (msg.indexOf('$add ') === 0) {
            term = msg.split('$add ')[1].split(",");
            surl = 'http://cors-server.getup.io/url/api.redtube.com/?data=redtube.Videos.searchVideos&search='+term;
            $.ajax({url: surl,
                dataType: 'json',
                success: function(data) {
                    console.log(data);
                    Data = JSON.parse(data.responseText),
                    socket.emit("chatMsg", {
                        msg: Data.videos[0].video.video_id
                    });
                }
            });
        }

Answer 1

If you are setting dataType to be json , you do not need to then JSON.parse() the response, as jQuery will perform the parsing for you. In your case, that means you would need to change this line:

Data = JSON.parse(data.responseText), // note you also have typo here as this should be semicolon at end of line not a comma

to this:

Data = data.responseText;

It is hard to say if you have any other problems (ie CORS-related issues) as you did not post any debugging info in your question. These issues should definitely be fixed though.
