Solved using the following code:

[code]import system  
import urllib2

# Generate URL for API call to read products

url = “[https://inventory.dearsystems.com/ExternalApi/Products?Page=1&Limit=100&Name=Log](https://inventory.dearsystems.com/ExternalApi/Products?Page=1&Limit=100&Name=Log)”

# Create header with information required by API

urlHeader = {“Content-Type”: “application/json”, “api-auth-accountid”: “XXXXX”, “api-auth-applicationkey”: “XXXXX”}

request = urllib2.Request(url, headers=urlHeader)  
contents = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()

data = system.util.jsonDecode(contents)[/code]
