I would like to get data from a web page, however, to display it I have to browse it, use filters and select time ranges, I can't just write a URL and get it on the screen. Can I simulate navigation within the website using MatLab?

Thnaks =)

Hi Luis,

Yes, MATLAB provides the functionality to connect to a website and extract data from it. This can be done using “websave” or “webread” function.

"Websave" function can be used to download the data and save it as a file, while "webread" function can be used to read the data directly into MATLAB as a character array.

For more information regarding “Websave” and “Webread” functions, kindly refer to the following documentation:

I hope it helps.
