So how do you get the data that you use to create them? Or rather from where?

For example, if I wanted to do a similar weather report for my city or Statr

Ultimately, what I'm looking for is to be able to auto create either like
custom welcome screens or Bulletuns with things like weather, today in
history, horoscopes, maybe News headslines.
