[Question] Getting JSON from a web service

Is there any easy (or possible) way of getting JSON from a web service hosted on a remote server in order to load the State in an API script? The long and short of it is I have a character generator on my server that has a REST point you can call to get back a JSON object containing a Character. I want to create a macro that calls an API script that I can allow my players to use in order to update the attributes on their characters based on the return from the web service call... basically I want them to be able to spend XP in the char generator I have externally and then hit a button in their journal to "re-sync" the character. Any help, thoughts, or guidance would be great, I just started working with the API a few days ago. Justin

Justin Riley's last known stance on this was no but you can have a REST api, so if you wait I expect we will be able to do this in reverse once he has time to impliment the REST api.
