You can use $ajax to make a GET request.

 $.ajax({
          url: '/get_all/'+name,
          type: 'GET',
          dataType: 'json',
       })
         .done(function(data) {
              var names_list = data["names_list"];
              /* Do your processing here 
                                       */

          })
           .fail(function() {
               console.log("error");

          });
