webread retrieves source but I need the data in the webpage

I try to run a loop that'd give me GO annotations from a site, but when using webread to access the url:

url= 'https://www.ebi.ac.uk/QuickGO/annotations?geneProductId=A0A3G9FS89';
o = weboptions('CertificateFilename','');
go_annotation = webread(url,o)

I get only the view-source of the page, which doesn't include my desired GO data.

I noticed that the view-source doesn't change at all if the part after 'QuickGO' is truncated - meaning it has nothing to do with my specific gene name A0A3G9FS89.

what can be done to make matlab retrieve the actual data on a specific url?

Thanks in advance,

Chaim.

Hi,

You can do it using "webread" function itself.
