Can FME desktop call Open API data after receiving coordinate information from a file? Basically the client will supply a lat/long from CSV file and then we want use those coordinates to get data from our API source. Request format: https://<apiURL>/data/lat={lat}&lon={lon}&exclude={part}&appid=[API KEY]
