Access external data in services

I have a situation where I have to access external data (reference data) while writing a service for a thing.

For example, if a cooler has a temperature sensor as a property and a service where the temperature value read from the sensor has to be compared to some external reference data like average_monthly_temperature, which is fed from some external database call or some API call from the service, how can this be done ?

Thingworx can connect to other data sources if you install the appropriate jdbc connector extension from an external database

or REST API using the content loader services (resource)
