HTTP with MATLAB

Yann Debray on 26 Aug 2025 (Edited on 26 Aug 2025)

Hello MATLAB Central, this is my first article.
My name is Yann. And I love MATLAB.
I also love HTTP (i know, weird fetish)
So i started a conversation with ChatGPT about it:
gitclone('https://github.com/yanndebray/HTTP-with-MATLAB');
cd('HTTP-with-MATLAB')
http_with_MATLAB
data = struct with fields:
data: [1×1 struct]
btcPrice = 1.0949e+05
age = struct with fields:
count: 27549 name: 'Yann' age: 51
Error using loadenv (line 27)
Unable to find or open '.env'. Check the path and filename or file permissions.

Error in http_with_MATLAB (line 18)
loadenv(".env")
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not sure that this platform is intended to clone repos from github, but i figured I'd paste this shortcut in case you want to try out my live script http_with_MATLAB.m
A lot of what i program lately relies on external web services (either for fetching data, or calling LLMs).
So I wrote a small tutorial of the 7 or so things I feel like I need to remember when making HTTP requests in MATLAB.
Let me know what you think
