https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#jsonp Demonstrates the proper way to use angular to receive JSONP objects.
The $http service call (from the AngularDocs) would look like:
$http({method: 'JSONP', url: $scope.url, cache: $templateCache}) .success(function(data, status) { $scope.status = status; $scope.data = data; })...
While the markup binding this functionality is:
<div ng-controller="FetchController"> <select ng-model="method" aria-label="Request method"> <option>GET</option> <option>JSONP</option> </select> <input type="text" ng-model="url" size="80" aria-label="URL" /> <button id="fetchbtn" ng-click="fetch()">fetch</button><br> <button id="samplegetbtn" ng-click="updateModel('GET', 'http-hello.html')">Sample GET</button> <button id="samplejsonpbtn" ng-click="updateModel('JSONP', 'https://angularjs.org/greet.php?callback=JSON_CALLBACK&name=Super%20Hero')"> Sample JSONP </button> <button id="invalidjsonpbtn" ng-click="updateModel('JSONP', 'https://angularjs.org/doesntexist&callback=JSON_CALLBACK')"> Invalid JSONP </button> <pre>http status code: {{status}}</pre> <pre>http response data: {{data}}</pre> </div>
So basically your end result would be:
app.factory('forecast', ['$http', function($http) { this.sendAPIRequest = function(city){ return $http.jsonp('http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/city?q='+city+'&units=metric&mo') .success(function(data) { return data; }) .error(function(err) { return err; }); },
