My understanding is that you actually use script tags with JSONP, sooo...

The first step is to create your function that will handle the JSON:

function hooray(json) {
    // dealin wit teh jsonz
}

Make sure that this function is accessible on a global level.

Next, add a script element to the DOM:

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.src = 'http://domain.com/?function=hooray';
document.body.appendChild(script);

The script will load the JavaScript that the API provider builds, and execute it.
