Read the json object returned by jsonp api call

Question

This is the api I am calling: https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:python&sort=stars which return top starred python projects and displays when triggered via browser. But when I try to access the json keys from the code it says undefined. What am I doing wrong?

$.getJSON("https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:python&sort=stars&callback=?", function(result){

  alert(typeof(result));
  alert(result.total_count);
  alert(result.incomplete_results);

});

Just remove the callback from url:

$.getJSON("https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=language:python&sort=stars", function(result){

  alert(typeof(result));
  alert(result.total_count);
  alert(result.incomplete_results);

});

Here is a working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/a9npgduz/

I wanted to know the jsonp implementation... The solution turned out to be result.data.key_name
