@TanyaS58 1. Create a Parameterized Data Page to call the Connect rest to call the weather API. 2. Create a Section to pass the location details either via input or if needed dynamically than store the location attribute at the operator level and pass the value to the parameter to load the Data page on the section.

@TanyaS58 You have 2 option
1. Either create a new property called as Location in Data-Admin-Operator-ID class and expose it and save the following when you create an operator
2. Use an existing property like 'pyUsage' to store the location and then use this property to set on the parameter.

If you're organization allows to capture location based info there is a control called pxGMap_CurrentLocation which is OOTB rule see for it's implementation to allow location capture and pass it to the connect-rest/soap service wherever you are getting weather info. Preferably implement the service call in a data page and use the load management feature on DP 'Reload if Older than'. I would say for every 1 hour. i don't think weather would change dramatically within an hour other wise you can make it however it is feasible for you.
