How does my solution look?

Anything I can clean up on?

$('input[type="submit"]').on('click',(e) => {
  e.preventDefault();

  // search word to be used for flickr tag

  let $searchText = $('input[type="search"]').val();

// Ajax call for images

  $.ajax({
    url: 'https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?',
    dataType: 'json',
    data: {
      tags: $searchText,
      format: 'json' 
    },
    success: (images) => {
      let html = `<ul>`;
      $.each(images.items,(i,image) => {
        html += `
          <li class="grid-25 tablet-grid-50">
            <a href="${image.link}" class="image">
              <img src="${image.media.m}" />
            </a>
          </li>
        `;
      }); 
      html += `</ul>`;
      $('#photos').html(html);
    } 
  });
});
