Hello Scot, I'm one of the LMA developers so let me try answer your questions. For future requests, I would advise you to use the openstack-dev mailing list with the [LMA] tag because I don't think that LMA is relevant for the average Heka users.

If that's correct then what I would use is the HTTP output plugin [1] combined with a Lua sandbox encoder plugin [2] that would format the incoming Heka message into the representation supported by your external API. You would have to write the sandbox encoder in Lua but I can provide some help if you have documentation for the REST API.
