Webread returns empty stucture, but urlread works,

Hi everyone, i have some issue about Webread

this is my code,

key = 'ZgFJoT6d3VEh1qz%2Fv%2Bj6SFAuefvQF%2BlboVR1njEK%2B8LcYTYddXSFE57fmAukUXPovujQLo9Fy05EvPpaGpH0ag%3D%3D';
baseurl_estate = 'http://apis.data.go.kr/1611000/nsdi/IndvdLandPriceService/attr/getIndvdLandPriceAttr?ServiceKey=';
start_year = '2020';
format = 'json';
num_of_row = '20';
for i = 1:height(stn_data)
    url_estate = strcat(baseurl_estate,key,'&pnu=',stn_data.pnu(i,1:end),'&numOfRows=', num_of_row,'&format=',format,'&stdrYear=',start_year);    
    temp_estate = urlread(url_estate);
    temp_estate = jsondecode(temp_estate);
    for j = 1:19
        if ~isempty(temp_estate.indvdLandPrices.field)
            break;
        else
            url_estate = strcat(baseurl_estate,key,'&pnu=',stn_data.pnu(i,1:end-j),'&numOfRows=', num_of_row,'&format=',format,'&stdrYear=',start_year);    
            temp_estate = urlread(url_estate);
            temp_estate = jsondecode(temp_estate);
        end
    end
    if j == 19
        fprintf("%d 에러발생",i)
        cnt = cnt+1;
    end 
    stn_estate(i,1) = temp_estate;
    clear -regexp ^temp
    i
end

In this code, urlread is works well, i mean it can return data

but, when i chagne my code use webread, webread doesn't return value.Webreads return an empty struct with no fields.

I want use webread cause when i use urlread and json, sometimes error was happened

'JSON syntax error at line 1, column 1 (character 1): expected value but found '<'.'

% get estate

Can you share "stn_data" as "mat"?

i upload stn_data mat file

The script below uses webread instead of urlread. The point here is to use weboptions and set the ContentType to text.

load("save_before_estate.mat")
key = 'ZgFJoT6d3VEh1qz%2Fv%2Bj6SFAuefvQF%2BlboVR1njEK%2B8LcYTYddXSFE57fmAukUXPovujQLo9Fy05EvPpaGpH0ag%3D%3D';
baseurl_estate = 'http://apis.data.go.kr/1611000/nsdi/IndvdLandPriceService/attr/getIndvdLandPriceAttr?ServiceKey=';
start_year = '2020';
format = 'json';
num_of_row = '20';
for i = 1:height(stn_data)
    url_estate = strcat(baseurl_estate,key, ...
        '&pnu=',stn_data.pnu(i,1:end),'&numOfRows=', num_of_row,'&format=',format,'&stdrYear=',start_year);    
    % temp_estate = urlread(url_estate)
    options = weboptions('ContentType','text'); % I found the API returns json in text format.
    temp_estate = webread(url_estate, options)

    temp_estate = jsondecode(temp_estate);
    for j = 1:19
        if ~isempty(temp_estate.indvdLandPrices.field)
            break;
        else
            url_estate = strcat(baseurl_estate,key,'&pnu=',stn_data.pnu(i,1:end-j),'&numOfRows=', num_of_row,'&format=',format,'&stdrYear=',start_year);    
            temp_estate = urlread(url_estate);
            temp_estate = jsondecode(temp_estate);
        end
    end
    if j == 19
        fprintf("%d 에러발생",i)
        cnt = cnt+1;
    end 
    stn_estate(i,1) = temp_estate;
    clear -regexp ^temp
    i
end
