json api doesnt return any results in jquery getJSON

I'm trying to pull info from this sample JSON file in their company API documentation. But it's not returning any results :(

http://jsfiddle.net/28hEb/21/

$.getJSON("http://api.8coupons.com/v1/getcategory", function (data) {
    $.each(data, function (index, item) {
        $("<div>").html(item.category).appendTo("#content");
        if (index == 3) {
            return false;
        }
    });
});

Use a callback parameter for different domain,

$.getJSON("http://api.8coupons.com/v1/getcategory?callback=?", function (data) {
    $.each(data, function (index, item) {
        $("<div>").html(item.category).appendTo("#content");
        if (index == 3) {
            return false;
        }
    });
});

Also read the same origin policy and JSON-to-JSONP-Bypass-Same-Origin-Policy

Add ?callback to the url so that getJSON performs jsonp request rather than ajax/cors/json.

http://api.8coupons.com/v1/getcategory?callback=?
