download weather information in matlab

To download weather information in MATLAB, you can make use of an API that provides weather data. One such API is OpenWeatherMap. Here is an example of how to download weather information using the urlread function in MATLAB.

main.m
% Set the API URL with your API key and the city you want information for
url = 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=New+York&appid=YOUR_API_KEY';

% Use the urlread function to download the weather data
data = urlread(url);

% Convert the JSON response to a MATLAB struct
weather_data = jsondecode(data);
319 chars
9 lines

In the above code, make sure to replace YOUR_API_KEY with the API key obtained from the OpenWeatherMap website. Also, replace New+York with the name of the city for which you want to obtain the weather data.

The jsondecode function is used to convert the JSON response from the API to a MATLAB struct that can be easily used to retrieve the desired weather information.
