• 00:00:00 Curl is a way for systems to interact with remote web locations in FileMaker, and it's been under the hood since FileMaker 12. In FileMaker 16, the insert from URL script step gained access to a number of corruptions that were previously unavailable. This session will focus on one of the new features, the ability to specify curl options.
• 00:05:00 This video demonstrates how to use cURL to send FileMaker data to an external API. This allows you to access the API from a remote location, bypassing the need for a proxy or plug-in.
• 00:10:00 In this YouTube video, the presenter explains how to use cURL for FileMaker. cURL is a command line tool for sending and receiving data from remote servers. The presenter shows how to use cURL to send a cookie back to a server, and how to use cURL to send JSON data to a server.
• 00:15:00 This video demonstrates how to use cURL to access FileMaker's data API. cURL is a command-line tool that can be used to transfer data between different applications. FileMaker's data API allows for the uploading, downloading, and updating of records.
• 00:20:00 FileMaker allows developers to access its REST API to access data stored in Google Calendar. This video demonstrates how to log in to FileMaker and access the API to update a record in Google Calendar.
• 00:25:00 This video explores cURL, a communication library used to send data to and from various online services, including Google. The presenter demonstrates how to use cURL to authenticate and sign requests to access Google services, and then sends the signed and authenticated request to Google.
• 00:30:00 The video demonstrates how to use curl to sign data in FileMaker. The script takes the data to be signed, the header, the claim, and the signature, and posts all of it to a URL. If everything goes according to plan, the data will be signed and the signature will be returned.
• 00:35:00 The video discusses how to interact with different API's, including the Google Calendar and Dropbox. The author demonstrates how to exchange data with both Google Calendar and Dropbox using curl.
• 00:40:00 This YouTube video demonstrates how to use curl to get files from Dropbox. First, the user logs in to their Dropbox account and lists the files inside the Dropbox container. Next, the user specifies the JSON format for the return data, and Dropbox provides a list of files in the container. Finally, the user can retrieve the desired file by using curl to specify the file path and the file name.
• 00:45:00 This video explains how to send binary data in a FileMaker file through the use of the curl command line tool. By using a header and a shuffle, FileMaker can handle images and PDFs without issue.
• 00:50:00 The video explores how to send binary data using cURL. The main points covered are how to send data using a content type, setting file content, and using variables. The video also covers how to pass authentication information to a service.
• 00:55:00 In this YouTube video, the presenter explains how to censor files using cURL. First, they show how to access the file using FTP.
