Connecting FileMaker to Web Apps

Connecting FileMaker to Web Apps


Ibrahim Bittar presented at FileMaker DevCon 2017 on a topic that should be of interest to all FileMaker developers:  connecting FileMaker to web apps:

The video details what is involved, how to connect, and walks you through the process.  There is a free FileMaker Example database set up to connect to Producteev. a free project management online database – one I have been using for years. I like this.

Here is what you will learn in this video:


  • The Basics of JSON syntax

  • How oAuth2 works – from a practical point of view

  • Use of cURL to send and retrieve data from a web application (cURL is very powerful)

  • FileMaker scripting and calculation tips

  • Free FileMaker example file


Jump in and take a look.  It's hard the first time, but gets easier as you do more (just like anything else).
