No response from url when requesting from javascript

Question

I am trying to use ipinfo api in my django app.

my js code -

var button = document.getElementById('login_button');
var user_location = document.getElementById('user_location');
button.onclick=function()
{
    get_location();
    form.submit();
}   
function get_location()
{
    alert('inside');
    $.get('http://ipinfo.io', function(response)
        {
            alert('response');
            user_location.value = response.loc;
            console.log(response.loc);
            alert(response.loc);
        }
    ,'jsonp');
}

my html code(relevant)-

<div class="row">
            <form id="form" method="post" class="form">
                {% csrf_token %}
                <input type="hidden" id="user_location" name="user_location"/>
            </form>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <button type="button" id="login_button" name="confirm_login" class="tooltip-test btn btn-sm btn-success" title="Click to Log In">
                Login
            </button>
        </div>

and my views.py relevant code -

 o = online_status(username = u.username, location = post['user_location'])
                devices_no = 1
                o.save()

My problem starts with the js file. It is alerting 'inside' but niether it alerts 'response' nor there is any thing in my browser console and also there is no alert of response.loc.

Where I am wrong..??

Help me please.

Note: My internet is behind a proxy.

Thanks in advance.

That site won't let you access its content from your page. The browser will prevent such attempts. — Pointy

And why is that..I followed the syntax given on the site itself... — aquaman

If you check the response headers from loading that URL, you won't see any "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header. Without that, the browser won't let you see it from a different domain. — Pointy

ipinfo.io supports CORS, so that's unlikely to be the issue. You might be hitting a rate limit though. Try alerting or logging response, rather than response.loc — Ben Dowling

I don't think rate limit is an issue in this case...and about response, the function upon success is not running. There is no alert 'response'. Any other idea?? — aquaman

Most likely, you are hitting the "cross-origin problem". See here for more discussion.

Does not Chromium show this error ?? because I am using it but there is no cors-error in the console.

A lot of browsers are distressingly silent on this issue. If you can open a URL from the Location bar but not from AJAX, it is almost certainly a cross-origin problem.

Even using jsonp this isn't resolved, any other suggestions please.

It's working for me. You don't see any errors in the console?

Do you think its because my internet is behind proxy??
