title: Get JSON data from URL using AJAX if possible
body: <p>I want to get the JSON data from the URL below and use it in my webpage in any way possible, can it be done?</p>

  <p>(Note I do not own this site, I'm just using the data for a simple free app.)</p>
  
  <p>If I simply enter the URL into the browser it works but that's no good as I want my page to use the data, so an AJAX request would be ideal but I cannot get it to work. 
  I've tried using a jQuery AJAX call but cannot get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>I'm staring to think it's not possible from within the browser and I would need to use Mechanize or something like that, which is not really an option.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
