A Python class for managing a FileMaker 17 Server or FileMaker Cloud 17 server using its REST interface. Tested against Python verison 2.7.10.
A version including support for working with the fmsadmin command line tool is planned, but not yet implemented.
The following example will display all available database, schedule, and client information for a server.
# Used to format output & exceptions
import pprint, sys
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4)
####################################
hostname="hostname.domain.com"
account="youraccount"
password="serverpass"
cloudServer=True
####################################
try:
fac = filemaker_admin_rest (hostname, account, password, usingCloud=cloudServer)
pp.pprint (fac.list_databases())
pp.pprint (fac.list_schedules())
pp.pprint (fac.list_clients())
except:
exType, exValue, exTraceback = sys.exc_info()
print
print "Error running script"
print("Type : %s " % exType.__name__)
print("Message : %s" %exValue)
print
# If login was succesful be sure we kill session.
if 'fac' in globals():
fac.logout()
