Ajax request to Wikipedia API issue

I want to make a simple request to the Wikipedia API:

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php',
    data: {
        action: "query",
        generator: "search",
        gsrnamespace: 0,
        gsrsearch: "te",
        gsrlimit: 30,
        prop: "info|extracts",
        inprop: "url",
        format: "json"
    },
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: processResult
});

The outcome should look like this -> https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrnamespace=0&gsrsearch=te&gsrlimit=10&prop=info|extracts&inprop=url

But this doesn't work properly from my ajax code.(there must be "extract" key).

I think the problem is in simbol "|" (look at ajax):

        prop:"info|extracts",

How to fix?

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php',
    data: {
        action: 'query',
        generator: 'search',
        gsrnamespace: 0,
        gsrsearch: 'te',
        gsrlimit: 30,
        prop: 'info|extracts',
        inprop: 'url',
        format: 'json',
        origin: '*'
    }
}).done( processResult );
  • uses plain AJAX instead of JSONP
  • uses origin: '*' (which is required for that)
  • uses HTTPS instead of HTTP (which won't work)

Not sure if this solves your problem because it is not very clear what your problem is...

1.You can use getJSON instead of $.ajax

$.getJSON("https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&generator=search&gsrnamespace=0&gsrsearch=te&gsrlimit=10&prop=info|extracts&inprop=url&format=json&callback=?", processResult);

2.Remember to add parameter with value(to avoid jQuery AJAX cross domain error) 

callback=?

3.extracts are not always available
