Using a variable URL in a JSON-call, not working?

Question

I'm trying to make a simple weather app and it seems I can't access any information using my variable for the JSON-link. Heres my code:

$(document).ready(function() {
    var key = 'a91a892f1f2a1aa3f7409a78f72af675';
    var locationURL = 'http://ip-api.com/json';
    var longitude;
    var latitude;

    //Getting the geolocation from the user
    $.getJSON(locationURL, function(data) {
        longitude = data.lon;
        latitude = data.lat;
        var url = 'api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=' + latitude + '&lon=' + longitude + '&appid=' + key;
        console.log(url);
        $.getJSON(url, function(data2){
            console.log(data2, url);
        });

    });
});

But I get no return from the second JSON-call, and it seems like the variable 'url' is broken or something. What am I doing wrong or not seeing here?

You should always check the Javascript console for errors before posting here. If you had, it might have helped you solve the problem yourself, or at least post a more complete question. — Barmar

You're missing protocol:

var url = '//api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=' + latitude + '&lon=' + longitude + '&appid=' + key;

get: function(req, data, callback) {
    data.gym_hash = this.gym_hash;
    console.log(data);

    $.ajax({
        url: rest.server + req,
        type: 'GET',
        data: data,

        success: function(result) {
            callback(result);
        }
    });
}

I use this type if code and let js and jQuery do the magic of formatting the parameters into the url. Call is like this:

       get(
        "Path/To/Rest",
        {
            email: email,
            password: password,

        },
        function(result){console.log(result);});
