How to get api data using jquery ajax?

Question

In this code I have a normal dropdown where I have some city name. Now, What I actually want when I change any city then through jquery I want to get json data in my alert box which is not working yet. I don't know why? So, How can I do this?

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("#city").change(function() {
    name = $(this).val();
    console.log(name);
    $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      dataType: "json",
      data: {
        "name": name
      },
      url: "http://postalpincode.in/api/postoffice/" + name,
      success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
      }
    });
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select name="city" id="city">
  <option value="">Select City</option>
  <option value="delhi">delhi</option>
