Reference Error in API function call using AngularJS

Question

formApp.controller('load', function ($scope, ApiCall, $window, $http) {
$window.onload = function () {
    alert("the page loaded and will now call the function");
    ApiCall.GetApiCall("signOn", "GetSingleSignOn").success(function (data) {
        alert("successful call to singleSignOn, GetSingleSignOn");
        var data = $.parseJSON(JSON.parse(data));
        $scope.apiGetInfo = data;
        alert("successful call to singleSignOn, GetSingleSignOn");
        alert(data);
    });
};

This code works fine up to the var data- $.parseJson(JSON.parse(data));

I looked at some examples of how to do this in the Controller online and they all looked this way with $.parseJSON(JSON.parse(data)). It gives me: ReferenceError: $ is not defined

Not sure why as every example I looked at to call an API Controller in Angular showed this way.

It's JQuery, try docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.fromJson — Nick

Why are you trying to parse an object? JSON.parse() will return an object; no need to parse it again... — Heretic Monkey

You don't need the $.parseJSON. remove it and leave the JSON.parse intact:

var data = JSON.parse(data);

If you want to use JQuery ($) you have to import the script.

UPDATE:

if you want to redirect to an URL you can use $window:

$window.location.href = 'http://www.google.com';

Thanks! Another question, the JSON parses out an HTML address, how can I in the controller go to that HTML page?

Thank you good sir I actually found that out right after I posted the comment, that's a piece of my project that is completed with this bit of information!
