jQuery ajax API call with JSONP data type is failing

jQuery ajax API call with JSONP data type is failing


I am building client application( using Jquery and HTML but no server side language) to access API call publish by NPPES website-

https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/API-Examples

I am using JSONP data types to avoid same origin policy in browser call but Ajax call is giving error and don't go to success callback.

e.g I am trying to call this : https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api?number=1073500443 ( if i directly invoke this in browser it gives json data back

$(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ var api="https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/api?number=1073500443"; $.ajax({ type: "POST", dataType: "jsonp", url: api, success: function() {console.log( "successful" )}, error : function(){console.log('error')}, }); });
}):

 am getting this error as the call is not successful. Is this website is not made to call jsonp request as it not responsing jsonp callback function. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : textStatus: parsererror

any idea or workaround ? I tried all possible combination but no luck. 

appreciate if someone try to access this api and if that works for them or not ?
