JSON-Decoding failed Error

First off, I have the plugin installed correctly and given examples work fine. The json I’m trying to import from is coming up with an error.

Here is the api: https://api.sportsdatabase.com/nfl/query.json?sdql=date%2Cpoints%40team%3DBears%20and%20season%3D2011&output=json&api_key=th926535

Here is the short code I am using just to try and get around the initial error (“JSON-Decoding failed. Check structure and encoding if JSON-data. problems with JSON-structure: check basenode-param”)

[jsoncontentimporter url="https://api.sportsdatabase.com/nfl/query.json?sdql=date%2Cpoints%40team%3DBears%20and%20season%3D2011&output=json&api_key=th926535" numberofdisplayeditems="30" basenode=""]

[/jsoncontentimporter]

Is there a problem in general with the source or something like that?

Thanks a bunch. I’ll donate!
