Readout of Weatherlink v2api

Users/owners of Davis weathersystems often upload their data to the WeatherlinkCloud, providing readout via a Dashboard.
Also possible for that owner to read back data via the api_v2.

Not having a Davis setup you can still have an account for that WeatherlinkCloud,
and then it is possible to read the Summary-Dashboards for a number of Davis setups surrounding you within a certain range,
but obviously not possible to have a related data-readback under Criterium 1 for an own station.

Davis setups usually being of good quality, for outsiders would be interesting to selectively read their data for comparison etc.:
- criterium 3 (= with Pro- or Pro+-account) is easy, but requires payment per station being read, in addition to the cost of Pro- or Pro+-account.
- criterium 2 as described applies enabling & login-info & permission received from a subject owner, and using the api_v2 will mimick a readout by the owner.

Challenge, and to be prudently used (still best with permission from the owner of the other station):
if one has a Davis-acccount, might readout under criterium 2 for another station also be realised via api_v2 in a basic setup without the specific owner’s login-info for that other station?

Question remains valid, also because almost impossible to reach station-owner unless (s)he has a private website enabling contact.
