JSONP

When requesting data in JSON format, JSONP can be specified using the jsoncallback parameter. Here is an example of using JSONP from jQuery:

$.getJSON("http://api.songkick.com/api/3.0/events.json?location=clientip&apikey={your_api_key}&jsoncallback=?",
function(data){
// data is JSON response object
});
