1. I have an Ambient Weather WS-2902C already fully configured, sending data via it's console on a home network to Ambientweather.net, Wunderground and Weathercloud. It has an additional 4th option to send data to "Customized" with user-definable related Server IP/Hostname, path, and port.

2. I also have a Raspberry PI 4B 8GB running on a 1TB SSD (instead of a MicroSD Card), and I've gotten WeeWx installed on same. The WS-2902C and the PI are both on the same network.

As a noob at this - can someone point me in the right direction as far as how to get the data from #1  "Customized" into #2 WeeWx on the PI - without reinventing the wheel? (Basically just get the Apache 2 that was installed as part of WeeWx - listening to "customized" ?)

May I make a unsolicited suggestion? Buy a Ecowitt GW-1100 (about $35). It listens to your outdoor array and sends that data to your pi over WiFi. It's very easy to set it up with WeeWx, the driver is well supported.
Using any other method to get the data from the WS-2902 to WeeWx on the pi will be a lot more work and frustration.
