Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

I try to access the ORCID API through JavaScript. I use JSONPfor the cross domain call but get this error:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

Bellow is the code I use:

<html >
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function()
    {
$.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url:'http://pub.orcid.org/0000-0002-5426-4031/orcid-bio',
        dataType: 'jsonp'
        }).done(function(res){alert("sucess")}).
          fail(function(res){alert("failed"); console.log(res)}).
          always(function(res){alert("complete")});
    });
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

According to this page the service will only return JSON if you explicitly request it via the appropriate Accept header.

Accept: application/orcid+json

This will tell the server to produce JSON output, it will not automatically enable JSONP, which doesn't seem to be supported by ORCID.

There's a request to add JSONP on their support site.
