If your appliance doesn't have a module in the Forge, then creating a new one is the usual approach. The REST API would be accessed by a provider ( https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_types.html) implemented in that module ( https://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/modules_fundamentals.html). An example doing something similar might be https://forge.puppetlabs.com/atlassian/nexus_rest.
