You might get a better answer on the dev list, but I'll point you to this:

http://evergreen-ils.org/~denials/workshop.html

It explains the main architecture behind how Evergreen functions and  
has some examples of doing requests via JavaScript. Note that you will  
need to be able to authenticate in order to do anything interesting.
