Javascript - extract data from object

Hi I'm trying to extract some data from an object (through a web API) in ReactJS (but I guess the question is not react specific). I think what API returns is not a properly constructed JS object.

You can see it in the browser: https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnTicker

How do I map it to a proper object in JS.

Here's my code:

  import React, { Component } from 'react';
import Place_holder from './place_holder';

const ticker = "https://poloniex.com/public?command=returnTicker";



class Body extends Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);
        this.state = { value: ""};
    }


    handleChange(value) {
        this.setState({value});
    }

    getTicker(url) {
        var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
        xhr.open("GET", url, false);
        xhr.send();

        let tick = xhr.responseText;
        console.log(tick.type);
        return tick;
    }



    render() {
        return (
            <div>
                <p>{this.getTicker(ticker)}</p>
                <input
                    type="number"
                    value={this.state.value}
                    onChange={event => this.handleChange(event.target.value)}
                />

                <Place_holder num={this.state.value}  />
            </div>
        )
    }
}

export default Body;

This prints the whole object. I can't seem to be able to extract info from it.

EDIT: I've added the JSON.parse bit and now I get the following error:

If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead or wrap the object using createFragment(object) from the React add-ons. Check the render method of `Body`.
