7 views (last 30 days)

Hi all,
I have a problem: I need to change the "Date Range" in this webpage https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/historical?s=LU0546918409:EUR and than read the code using "webread" function:
As you can see, the standard range when the web is opening is the last 30 days, and I would like to change it. I tried with this code:
temp = webread('https://markets.ft.com/data/funds/tearsheet/historical?s=LU0546918409:EUR');
temp2 = strrep(temp,'2020/08/24','2020/07/24')
but i don't know how to reload the webpage with the new html code and date range. Someone can help me? Thanks!

It is not as simple as using strrep(). You need to be able to control webpages interactively. I don't think MATLAB has any useful functions for such a thing. Your best bet is to use a python package of a web driver like selenium: https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/ and see how can you interact with this webpage to change the date range. You can use the python libraries in MATLAB using resources at this link: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/call-python-libraries.html
