I’m trying to connect to a webapi at a location that looks like this from inside my js jquery file.
example.com/?var=input
Is there a simpler way to do it than an ajax call?

I would use AJAX for this, but I guess you could open a hidden IFRAME with the URL set to the page you want to connect to (not sure why you would do this though!).
Maybe use a JavaScript library like JQuery to make life easier?
If the data you’re trying to access is returned as JSON then you can get around the browser security problems.
Here is a JQuery example where a request is made to Flickr.com from JQuery.com:
