That code doesn't have a syntax error, but you've told jQuery that it's a JSONP request, which means it will cause a script element to get added to the document. If that script element's src points to something that returns JSON, not JSONP, you'll get that error. The solution is to ensure that you know what the endpoint you're calling really provides and either don't specify dataType at all, or specify the correct one.
