Hey Guys! I am having a bit of a challenge with my Wikpedia viewer. Cant get the API to work. Would appreciate any help and possible solutions. Thank you

Javascript Code:

$(document).ready(function(){  
//“[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=&callback=?"](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=&callback=?%22)  
$(”#search").click(function(){

```
var searchItem = $("#searchItem").val();

 $.ajax({
  url: "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php",
  dataType: "json",
  data: {
    action: "opensearch",
    format: "json",
    origin: "*",
    search: searchItem,
    formatversion: "2", 
    success: function(data){
    console.log(data); 
    },
    error: function(errorMsg) {
     alert("Error");
    }

 }

```

});  
//Enter Keyboard click  
});

});

The `success` and `error` functions shouldn’t be inside the `data` object.

Thank you so much guys, but after making the changes API call is still not working and I keep getting this error logged on my Web Console (Firefox):

“An iframe which has both allow-scripts and allow-same-origin for its sandbox attribute can remove its sandboxing”

Dont understand what it means. Thanks again guys
