If you're retrieving data in a format that BibDesk supports natively (e.g.
BibTeX or RIS), you can use an "External File Group" to read from a URL.

If you're retrieving it in some other format (e.g. XML), it sounds like you
might want a "Script Group" that reads BibTeX data from standard output of a
command-line tool or from an AppleScript.  I've written a couple of these
using NSXMLDocument to grab data from RSS feeds, and source is available if
you want.
