Importing Signal Data From Live Website

Is it possible at all to import data in real time from a live website into MATLAB? Say, the weather daily history of a given location, at every 5 min for a whole year. Supposing there is a website that samples this array in real time, what types of commands am I supposed to use in order to import the data into a MATLAB script?
Thank you.

Yes, you can use urlread() or webread()
If you do not control the site then you may need to obtain a license from the site for permission to access it that often. There might be specific interfaces to use to access under license, depending on the site.
