AJAX will simplify your life to do that. Check this link: http://fr.openclassrooms.com/informatique/cours/un-site-web-dynamique-avec-jquery/le-fonctionnement-de-ajax — Nicolas Henrard, Jun 19 '14 at 09:08
In HTTP protocol, only client can request data from server, server can not contact client. — Ivan Kuckir, Jun 19 '14 at 09:19

If only your server is able to fetch that data, then you can bootstrap it in your template:

Pseudo code, assuming php is used:

<head>
    <script>
        echo( 'var obj=' . $my_fetched_value . ';' );
    </script>
</head>

Then in your whatever script:

console.log( obj );
