If a SandboxFilter emits messages w/ a JSON payload, then the DashboardOutput 
will make the raw JSON available via HTTP, so you can make requests to the Heka 
server to fetch the data.

Alternately, you can use the HttpOutput to have Heka make HTTP requests to push 
the data to another location.

There are other strategies as well, but those seem like the most likely to be 
what you want.

On one side I have data running in heka and on the other side a web

So what is the best way to retrieve data flowing into heka?
That would be great if heka could provide a REST api that we could
query, but I don't see any output that looks like this.

I'm aware of the dashboardOutput, but I need to integrate to a custom
web application... But maybe I can query the dashboardOutput backend
through ajax, but this is a workaround and this is not very flexible.

Any other idea?
