reading in a file from ubuntu on local machine?

I have a python script which I'm running on AWS (EC2 instance with Ubuntu). This python script outputs a JSON file daily, to a directory in /home/ubuntu:

with open("/home/ubuntu/bandsintown/sf_events.json", "w") as writeJSON:
file_str = json.dumps(allEvents, sort_keys=True)
file_str = "var sf_events = " + file_str

All works as expected here. My issue is that I'm unsure of how to read this JSON (existing on ubuntu) into a javascript file that I'm running on my local machine.

Javascript can't find the file if I call the file from ubuntu:

<script src="/home/ubuntu/bandsintown/sf_events.json"></script>

In other words, I'd like to read in the JSON that I've created in the cloud, to a file that exists on my local machine. Should I output the JSON somewhere other than home/ubuntu? Or, can my local file somehow recognize /home/ubuntu as a file location?

Thanks in advance.
