Call MATLAB Functions Using REST
R2026bYou can create MATLAB REST function services that allow client applications to call user-defined MATLAB functions over the HTTPS protocol. The service enables communication between your programs and MATLAB regardless of your platform and execution environment. You can call custom MATLAB functions using any programming language or application that can make a REST call, either locally or remotely.
Only you can execute functions in your MATLAB instance.
