Pulling data from .json url causing error with Jquery

I am trying to pull data using a small script I found that seems to work with any other url that produces json data, however when I use it with a url that ends in .json, i will just receive a syntax error.

//error

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : http://frontier.ffxiv.com/worldStatus/gate_status.json?callback=jQuery21309476937903091311_1450254419566&q=select+title%2Cabstract%2Curl+from+search.news+where+query%3D%22cat%22&format=json&_=1450254419567

//code below

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script>
// Using YQL and JSONP
$.ajax({
    url: "http://frontier.ffxiv.com/worldStatus/gate_status.json",

    // The name of the callback parameter, as specified by the YQL service
    jsonp: "callback",

    // Tell jQuery we're expecting JSONP
    dataType: "jsonp",

    // Tell YQL what we want and that we want JSON
    data: {
        q: "select title,abstract,url from search.news where query=\"cat\"",
        format: "json"
    },

    // Work with the response
    success: function( response ) {
        console.log( response ); // server response
    }
});
</script>

The URL you're doing the ajax request to doesn't deliver JSONP, just regular JSON.

You get a parse error because the result is something like 

{"status":0}

while jQuery expects something like

callback({"status":0})

Unfortunately it doesn't look like CORS is supported either, so the data from that URL can't be gotten from the clientside, due to the same-origin policy.
