Generically, this sounds like you're trying to retrieve some external information and hiera is still a better option. In hiera you would have your backend fetching data from $someplace, wherever that place is (ldap, yaml, etc.). Maybe even write yourself a new backend.
More specifically, discussing the underlying functionality you are attempting to implement would help us figure out how to help you.
