Simple jQuery getJSON Call to Twitter

I've read a lot of questions about Twitter and jQuery, but no one seems to have answered my question. I'm just trying to grab 5 "tweets" from a public user. I am not doing anything with the data at this point, but my callback function never fires.

    $.getJSON("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json?callback=?",
    {
        screen_name: 'dojo',
        count: '5'
    },

    function (data) {
        alert("IT WORKED!");
    });

      

Here is the same code on jsFiddle

thanks for the help

This won't work because Twitter now requires you to be authenticated to receive tweets for a given user.

Link: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1/get/statuses/user_timeline Look at the "Authentication" information.



You will want to use a library to help get the oauth signature and make the request.
