One of Tiki's new features is the ability to register webservices to be used by plugins. This is a handler which, combined with Plugin Alias Handler, allows to create brand new plugins exploiting data from external systems. Please see: WebServicePlugin
This plugin would ask for the real data export URL for the webservice. This is not mandatory.
