I think Dribble has simply updated their API from http to https and added a "v1" parameter the the url.

Try this for http.jsonp -- 'https://api.dribbble.com/v1/shots/popular?callback=JSON_CALLBACK'

You can read about this in the Dribbble API overview page: http://developer.dribbble.com/v1/

Nevermind, I think you do need a token. I am able to get the JSON object but the only value it has it "bad credentials" because I don't have a key / token...

You can request a token on their site. then you just add "&access_token=000000" after the JSON_CALLBACK and replace the "0" with your own token.

Looks like there's no "popular" route anymore. I used "http://api.dribbble.com/v1/shots?access_token=XXX&callback=JSON_CALLBACK" and it works. Replace XXX with your client access token.

Looks like the Dribble API is only accessible with an OAuth token now. From the docs:

"Please note that you must register your application and authenticate with either OAuth or your API client access token when making requests. Before doing so, be sure to read our Terms & Guidelines to learn how the API may be used."
