I have a standalone Vbox setup with hortonworks sandbox. And I have an HBASE table called 'mytable' and column family 'cf'. REST service is started and I can curl through ssh to 127.0.0.1 address to get the data in Base64 encoded format as JSON. Need some help on visualizing this JSON using D3.js. What url I should use to pull the encoded JSON through rest API into a D3 file. Can somebody point out a simple example.

This got to be one of the strangest use-cases for HBase I've ever seen... Please notice that HBase REST API* should never be accessible from clients.
What you can do is create a small web service/API in your preferred programming language with access to the HBase REST API, fetch all the information needed from HBase (by performing gets or opening a scanner), and format it in a way that works for D3 (which I don't know what is). Then, you need to perform the proper changes to your frontend/client-side code to request the data from your intermediate API instead of directly querying HBase.
There are plenty of API documentation and examples here: https://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate
*HBase REST API is also known as STARGATE
If you update the question with more information I'll gladly try to improve my answer.
