title: getJSON unexpected token error
body: <p>I'm trying to get earthquake data from USGS and I keep getting the error: </p>
  
  <p><strong>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :</strong> </p>
  
  <p>I tried $.ajax with jsonp format and I keep getting the same issue. I tried without callback at the end of my url as well, in that case I get the error: </p>
  
  <p><strong>MLHttpRequest cannot load <a href="http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_day.geojson" rel="nofollow">http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_day.geojson</a>. Origin <a href="http://people.oregonstate.edu" rel="nofollow">http://people.oregonstate.edu</a> is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>$.getJSON(
     "http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/summary/2.5_day.geojson&amp;callback=?",
      function(data) {
         console.log(data);
      }
   );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>can someone help me out how to get the data or perhaps something other than jQuery if it is not possible this way.</p>
