Who's got dirt? JSON file API

This is a simple API that wraps remote JSON files.

API

get /:url?path=path&q=query

The :url parameter must be a whitelisted URL that returns a JSON array. The required path query string parameter is a JSON Pointer that will be evaluated against each item in the JSON array to produce a values list. The required q query string parameter will be compared and scored against each item in this values list to produce a results list, which will be returned as a JSON response.
