Luckily, if you're using jQuery much of the low-level stuff can be taken
care of for you. Something like this should work for API calls,
automatically using the callback behind the scenes:
$.ajax({
url: 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php',
data: {
format: 'json',
// ... various settings ...
},
dataType: 'jsonp' // this is the important one!
}).done(function(data) {
// do some work here
alert(JSON.stringify(data));
});
You can look up the various parameters for different queries in the online
help at https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php and/or playing with the API
sandbox at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox
