Prefer formula, not PQ. Learning PQ later.

OpenWeatherMap has a free API which will forecast weather every 3 hours for 5 days. That's alot of data.

I'm trying to devise a formula that will extract data from the API for a specific date and time. Using the following result from an API request, what is the correct formula to extract the min temperature from "2024-06-11T06:00:00 to=2024-06-11T09:00:00"?

@FILTERXML(L42,"weatherdata/forecast/time from=2024-06-11T06:00:00to=2024-06-11T09:00:00/temperature/@Min")
