FileMaker API Integration: How to Interpret an API: From start to working code

This DevCon presentation is the one I've been waiting for: Salvatore Colangelo's presentation on connecting FileMaker to an API. 

Colangelo uses the metaphor of a recipe in his presentation, and the same recipe is followed every time you want to connect to an API:

  • Understand the Authentication
  • Identify the Endpoints and the HTTP Methods
  • Construct the Body parameters and the HTTP Headers
  • Submit the request
  • Parse the response and the HTTP Headers

This video is packed with useful information, and don't miss the free download file and blog post with explicit instructions for connecting to Amazon services, something that is hard to figure out.
