We do not support the reading of the metadata setting from the thingSpeakRead function, but you can use webread.

indoorChannelData = webread(strcat(‘https://api.thingspeak.com/channels/’, …
num2str(indoorChannelID), …
‘/feeds.json?metadata=true&api_key=’, …
indoorChannelReadKey));

[result, timestamp, chInfo] = thingSpeakRead (channel_id, ‘ReadKey’, readKey, ‘Metadata’, true)
and it returned error:
‘Metadata’ is not a recognized parameter.

Could you provide a complementary example of how to
“read back” this value?
