Most stations have only limited historical data storage, and weewx moves all the historical data from the ststion to the archive for long term storage. The drivers within weewx all 'query' the stations to obtain the data which is processed by weewx.
The past data is held in either SQLite or MySQL database - so any standard sql select statements will retrieve the data from the archive or daily summary tables. In the case of MySQL (don't know about SQLite) you just need to enable remote access to the database. No interface to weewx is required to retrieve the historical data via queries. I suspect I have misunderstood exactly what you are trying to do and hoping to achieve!! Sounds as though you need a simple(ish) interface program running which will effectively build and issue sql select statements on the database and return the result set.
