Accessing External API

Hello,

 

For watch face development, would it be possible to connect to an external API to display information?

 

I.e. If I wanted to pull the weather from a weather API would this be possible using fetch?

 

Thanks

Yes, but only the companion has direct access to the internet. It can use fetch() to access the external API, then must use messaging or file transfer to push the info to the watch.
