Client-side geolocation with JSONP?

Question

We've been using the free version of this API until yesterday, but just switched over to the paid one, now that the free one has been disabled. However, we're running into an issue now where we can't seem to make the new version work with JSONP -- since the requests require the Mashape API key to be included in the header, this is causing our $.getJSON call to fail. Can you tell us how we can continue to use the API via JSONP?

Thanks!

Hello,

For info, it's also possible to authenticate using URL query parameters as mentioned here : http://docs.mashape.com/auth-settings#query-parameters

In your case you can keep using the code you were using with the free version and simply replace the old endpoint URL with : https://telize-v1.p.mashape.com/geoip?callback=getgeoip&mashape-key=YourMashapeSecretkey

Regards.
