MATLAB http post and json request

Hello

I need please some help to implement the below "Python" code in MATLAB.

I want to be able to perform a request to identify if a key exists and if it is valid through connecting to a certain website

%% Python code  ================================
import requests
import json
data = requests.post(
"https://api.somewebsite/accounts/CC/licenses/actions/validate-key",
  headers={ 
       "Content-Type": "application/vnd.api+json",   
       "Accept": "application/vnd.api+json"
  },
  data=json.dumps({  
    "meta": {  
    "key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    }
  })
).json()

if data["meta"]["valid"]:
# Do something
else:
# Do something else
%% ================================

many thanks

Mohammad

Hi Mohammad,

I would start with something like this:

import matlab.net.http.*
import matlab.net.http.field.*

request = RequestMessage( 'POST', ...
    [ContentTypeField( 'application/vnd.api+json' ), AcceptField('application/vnd.api+json')], ...
    '{"meta": {"key": "xxxxxx"}}' );
response = request.send( 'https://api.somewebsite/accounts/CC/licenses/actions/validate-key' );

And use this doc page to work out your logic once you have the response:

For reference, the wider documentation is here:
