I'm relatively new to the whole jQuery thing, so apologies if this is a really obvious thing.
My basic problem is that the URL within the .getJSON() function is not returning anything despite the JSON file being valid.
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function() {
var key = '*****************'
var getMusic = function() {
$.getJSON('http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/search?api_key=' + key + '&artist=led+zeppelin', function(data) {
$('.songs').append('<li>success</li>');
data['songs'].forEach(function(d) {
$('.songs').append('<li>' + d['title'] + '</li>');
});
});
};
$('.click').click(getMusic);
});
So the "success" gets appended to the list, but nothing else does. The debug console in Chrome gives me the following error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'forEach' of undefined
I'm assuming this means that the URL is not passing anything to the function. But the URL is valid. If I just type it into Chrome, I get the following response.
{
"response":{
"status":{
"version":"4.2",
"code":0,
"message":"Success"
},

I'm not sure why the code isn't performing as expected.
You are accessing wrongly the data from $.getJSON
You need to get response first:
data.response['songs']
$(document).ready(function() {
var key = '*****************'
var getMusic = function() {
$.getJSON('http://developer.echonest.com/api/v4/song/search?api_key=' + key + '&artist=led+zeppelin', function(data) {
$('.songs').append('<li>success</li>');
data.response['songs'].forEach(function(d) {
$('.songs').append('<li>' + d['title'] + '</li>');
});
});
};
$('.click').click(getMusic);
});
