I've been trying to do the same and I can't believe there's no single API
endpoint to get the same information than using YAML button (which calls to
http://fqdn.local/hosts/client1/externalNodes?name=client1 URL) or using
/etc/puppet/node.rb client1 as puppet master does.
In my case I can have up to 70 smart class parameters which takes a long
time and is also anoying.

Sergio
