You can use the system.net scripting functions to hit external APIs.

Another option would be to use the webdev module and have the other systems request the data.

Use WebDev, not system.net.

For example see our RWS (Restful Web Services) module that allows reading/writing tags from an external application into Ignition. This is used inside our another module ARSCADA but is also available as a separate module as well. This is based on WebDev module for corresponding version of Ignition.
