Custom resources types are not well suited to the job you describe. If the objective is to retrieve data from a web service into a Puppet variable (or similar), then you probably want a function. The general-purpose generate() function could be applied to the task, perhaps in combination with wget. Alternatively, you could look into writing a custom function for the purpose -- it's not that hard if you have a passing familiarity with Ruby.
