        scheme.description = ("x")
        scheme.use_external_validation = True
        scheme.use_single_instance = False

        api_arg = Argument(
            name="api",
            title="API Code",
            data_type=Argument.data_type_string,

                t = json.loads(urllib2.urlopen(r).read())

                    logevent = Event()
                    logevent.stanza = input_name
                    logevent.data = json.dumps(t, sort_keys=True, separators=(',',':'))
                    ew.write_event(logevent)
