How can I extract/import data from open weather map server using matlab?

I am supposed to extract weather data from a server. I was given an API key to access the data. when I use the API call http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/city?id=524901&APPID={APIKEY} as suggested by the server, I get the data on the web. As soon as I want to use this in matlab with the webread function, I get errors such as timeout errors even though I set it to infinite. How can I access this data using matlab?
