How to introduce a body (json text) in webread function?

Dear,

I am looking for reading data from a private server, for this i have a json text as :

text_json = [''...

'{'...

' "fromDate": "2023-08-01",'...

' "toDate": "2023-08-02" '...

'}'...

''];

For information this information can be used in Postman application for manual data extraction.

options = weboptions('RequestMethod', 'POST', 'HeaderFields', headers);

And i need to applique to the webread function as :

data = webread(URL,text_json,options);

I am not sure about the good way for solve this issues.

Best Regards.

You can use WEBWRITE for POST requests: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/webwrite.html

opts = weboptions("ContentType","application/json")
webwrite(url,data,opts) % data is the content of the BODY, be sure to match the content type
