I want to use oembed to get the embed code from youtube links with jQuery:

var url = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwGFalTRHDA;

url = encodeURIComponent(url);



$.getJSON('http://youtube.com/oembed?url='+url+'&format=json', function(data) {

console.log(data);

});

Well I don't get any data.

Funny thing is, that if I browse to the url I get the right response:

http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DiwGFalTRHDA&format=json` 

leads me to

{

provider_url: http://www.youtube.com/

html: <object width=425 height=344><param name=movie value=http://www.youtube.com/v/iwGFalTRHDA?version=3></param><param name=allowFullScreen value=true></param><param name=allowscriptaccess value=always></param><embed src=http://www.youtube.com/v/iwGFalTRHDA?version=3 type=application/x-shockwave-flash width=425 height=344 allowscriptaccess=always allowfullscreen=true></embed></object>

I also used the jquery oembed plugin, but the onError option is always thrown, also if the request was successful.

I'm really looking forward for some ideas...
