How do I see live updates from my ThingSpeak channel?

Hello, I want to subscribe to my channel from ThingSpeak, and after this to export this data to a json file. The problem is that I want this to be done automatically. Is it possible in Matlab, if yes, then how, I cannot find it in Matlab documentation? Thank you

Can you describe more about what you mean to subscribe to the channel? Are you using MQTT on a device? Our MQTT broker supports subscribe, but you will only get the last update. You can use the read data call in the REST API to export up to the last 8000 points into a json file, you don't even need MATLAB for that. However, you can use the alerts service to send an email with your last points in whatever format you like. For this you can use the built in MATLAB capabilities, even if you dont have a seperate MATLAB license (even with the free ThingSpeak license). See Analyze Channel Data to Send Email Notification and the TimeControl app to see how to trigger your report at regular intervals.
