How to get the number of links shared in Mail.ru (My World)?

Question

JSON

Good time.
There is such a code for getting the number of shares of a link in a social network. My World networks:

var url = encodeURIComponent(location.href);
$.getJSON('http://connect.mail.ru/share_count?url_list=' + url + '&callback=1&func=?', function(response) {
  $('a.mail_ru .counter').text(response[url].shares);
});

But it returns:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'shares' of undefined

If you directly enter the address (for example, the Vkontakte site is taken):

http://connect.mail.ru/share_count?url_list=http://vk.com&callback=1&func=?

then you will get the following response:

?({
  "http:\/\/vk.com":{"shares":12372,"clicks":413}
});

But this JSON fails the validation check (because of the wrapping brackets and the question mark), which is why the Uncaught TypeError is most likely raised.
Help to understand, please.
