Nothing fancy but needed something to speed up the process when wanting to grab some USGS data. The function uses the RESTful web service protocols which is already a function (i.e., webread) in Matlab. My code is hardcoded expecting a JSON format.
You have an option to set a boolean to true if you want a simple graph created to view the data.
Thank you USGS!

Tweaked the input to the function call. I needed to include weboptions and adjust the 'timeout' setting for larger querries.
