I’d like to see the ability to request specific data from the API.

Specificly, given a start and end time stamp, the high and low with timestamp for Temperature, Pressure and Humidity, The high for Lux, Solar Radiation, UV, Precipitation and Wind with timestamp. Total Precipitation and Strike count.

Basically I am looking for a complete picture of “yesterday.”

This would be useful on a microcontroller (RP4020 pico w for instance) with a limited amount of memory.
