Anybody out there using the NY times best seller API to do stuff on their
library websites?
I can't figure out what's wrong with my code here.
Data is returned as "null"; I can't seem to parse the response with jQuery.
Any help would be supercool.
I removed the API key - my code doesn't actually contain 'xxxx'.
Here's the jQuery:

jQuery(document).ready(function(){
    $(function(){
                    //json request to new york times
                    $.getJSON('
http://api.nytimes.com/svc/books/v2/lists/hardcover-fiction.json?&api-key=xxxx',

                    function(data) {
                        //loop through the results with the following
function
                        $.each(data.results.book_details, function(i,item){
                        //turn the title into a variable
                        var bookTitle = item.title;
                        $('#container').append('<p>'+bookTitle+'</p>');

            });
        });
    });
});


Here's a snippet of the JSON response:
