Send a link to an image in a request

I am submitting a request for a vision OCR service. Is it possible to send a request so that a link to an image is passed to data?

   var formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('image', $('#YOUR_IMAGE_FILE')[0].files[0]);
    $.ajax({
        method: 'POST',
        url: 'https://api.api-ninjas.com/v1/imagetotext',
        data: formData,
        enctype: 'multipart/form-data',
        processData: false,
        contentType: false, 
        success: function(result) {
            console.log(result);
        },
        error: function ajaxError(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            alert(jqXHR.responseText);
        }
    });
