You can use $.getJSON() to get data, the .val() to input value;

var URL = "http://www.example.com/...................."
$.getJSON(URL, function(d) {
  console.log(d.quotes.USDAED)
  $('#dummy').val(d.quotes.USDAED)
})

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<input id='dummy'/>
