Following the June meeting of FMburgh (the Pittsburgh FileMaker Developer Group), we asked the attendees about their API integration experience and preferred relationship graph model. Finally, we learned that more FileMaker developers would like to care for Dino or Gromit than Gizmo.
Q1) When integrating FileMaker with an API, your experience… (Check all that apply)
22.2% – Consists of pushing FileMaker data to the API in order to create/update information on the external site.
33.3% – Incorporates setting up FileMaker Server to act as an API source for another FileMaker solution or third-party application.
33.3% – Is limited as you have just begun working on your first FileMaker / API integration project.
33.3% – Is nonexistent since your FileMaker solutions have not required this type of integration (yet).
55.6% – Includes fetching data from the external API and then creating/updating FileMaker records.
