Open a website from within Excel

Hi,

In my Excel workbook I have a number of 'Command' buttons to run macros.

I also have one which I would like to (hopefully) click to access a website (which from outside Excel I access via google using the following:  https:/www.xxxx.xx.xx/api/v1 where xxxx is the website name), but I'm not sure that is possible. So my question is, is it possible to use a macro that could open this website from within my Excel workbook, allow me to use it, and then close it to get back to my Excel workbook when I've finished? If it is possible, can someone provide the code that would make this happen. I would be most grateful. If it is not possible, it would be good to know so I don't waste any more time trying to achieve this!!
