MQL4 Script: Fetch a CSV value from a URL

I need a script which fetches a value from a website URL, and then makes that fetched value available within the script to be compared against another manually typed in value. 

The value is found here:

https://www.quandl.com/data/FRED/PAYEMS-All-Employees-Total-nonfarm

The value can be fetched using the below URL:  

https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/FRED/PAYEMS.csv?exclude_column_names=true&rows=1&api_key=my_api_key

 A value of 2016-08-01, 144598.0 is returned. 

Once the value of [2016-08-01, 144598.0] has been fetched from the URL, I need to be able to compare it against another number which I will manually type in. 

I will be comparing the values using if and else statements, which would look something like this: 

void OnStart()
{

... //  code which fetches the value of 2016-08-01, 144598.0 from the .csv URL

double x = 155876.0     // value manually TYPED IN by myself
       y = 144598.0     // VALUE FETCHED FROM THE .CSV URL
                        // ignore column 1 consisting of 2016-08-01
   if ( x > y ) {

                        // executes code which I have already written

} 

else { 

                        // execute other code which I have already written

}

}

Ideally, if anyone can make it so that the date column of [2016-08-01] was ignored, that would be helpful as I only want to compare the numerical value of [144598.0] with another typed in value.
