jquery - Passing variable from Ajax Call into the Success Function -

i have code takes user input, incorporates ajax call url, retrieves data based on input.

the retrieved data in json format, , want access part of json object using user's original input.

for example:

user input: example_name

ajax url: www.something.com/api/example_name?api_key=12345

upon returning object:

i want access: object.example_name.id

i having difficulties passing variable 'example_name' original ajax call success function.

here code:

function getsummonerid(n) {     console.log("check function...");     $.ajax({         datatype: "json",         type: 'get',         url: 'https://url_here/' + n + '?api_key=12345',         success: function (json, n) {             console.log(json);             console.log(n); //this logs "success"             summonerid = json[n].id;             console.log(summonerid);              getscore(summonerid); //send function         }      }); } 

i getting error of sort:

typeerror: json[n] undefined 

there other threads asking question, couldn't find pass 'n' original call success function.

i ended adding variable function called fname, , set equal "n" passed it.

i used json[fname].id access value.
