- 6. Depressed... Manual clicking and typing? Error-prone, Time consuming (dev / test / prod servers), Boring! Requirements can change anytime Myseriable!
- 8. The Key Use FME Server REST APIs in a fashion ... Easily scripted, Cleanly documented, Conveniently changed, & Naturally standardized
- 9. Making API Calls in Browser In Browser with standard authentication http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/info In Browser with token authentication http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/info?token=949de 9cea90ca0b860e9044ea6623d334a8483e4
- 10. Making API Calls Using cURL - curl -L https://safe.com - curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: fmetoken token=6103d5ab68010ec6e20d8ef511c232d7a79abd01" http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/info - curl -X GET -H "Authorization: fmetoken token=6103d5ab68010ec6e20d8ef511c232d7a79abd01" http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/info - curl -X GET http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/info?fmetoken=6103d5ab68010e c6e20d8ef511c232d7a79abd01
- 11. Test API calls Using any API testing tools such as Postman
- 12. Scripting! - Scripting is “simple” coding - Repeating commands of similar pattern - The pattern Command curl method -X GET/POST/DELETE/PUT Options -d Path http(s)://…. Query String ? - This is where Excel comes in play
- 13. Spreadsheet! Root Path http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/security/ Role section roles/ Account section accounts/ Account-role section accounts/ Token ?fmetoken=0722f73a7fbf22be12c97c090b010980331e6348 Curl, method, option curl -X POST -d Creating Roles Data Complete Command 'name=ng911_rol' curl -X POST -d 'name=ng911_rol' http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/security/roles/?fmetoken=0722f73a7fbf22be12c97c090b010980331e6348 'name=cochise_rol' curl -X POST -d 'name=cochise_rol' http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/security/roles/?fmetoken=0722f73a7fbf22be12c97c090b010980331e6348 'name=coconino_rol' curl -X POST -d 'name=coconino_rol' http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/security/roles/?fmetoken=0722f73a7fbf22be12c97c090b010980331e6348 'name=coloradocity_rol' curl -X POST -d 'name=coloradocity_rol' http://myfmehost:port/fmerest/v3/security/roles/?fmetoken=0722f73a7fbf22be12c97c090b010980331e6348
- 14. Summary FME REST APIs can help server provisioning RESTful APIs can be used with little coding RESTful API testing tools are handy Spreadsheet helps documentation and code generation!
