Get Past the Post: Build Better, Smarter, and Stronger API Workflows

Most API integrations look clean in the documentation. The reality is different. Authentication breaks, error responses are cryptic, corporate proxies block calls, and every provider seems to play by its own rules.

This live session moves past the textbook view of API integration into the day-to-day work of building integrations that hold up. Whether the call is to REST Services, a vendor API, or an internal endpoint, the patterns are the same. We will walk through the essentials of API workflow management with real use cases, covering authentication, debugging, and the FME Flow REST API v4 migration.

Join us to learn how to:

• Authenticate against modern APIs with confidence, including OAuth flows and API key handling
• Debug failed calls by interpreting response bodies and refining requests
• Parse JSON and GeoJSON responses with the right FME transformers
• Migrate from the FME Flow REST API v3 to v4 using the new Flow REST API

Live demos walk through escalating scenarios, from a first authenticated call to a full Flow API migration. Expect practical patterns, common pitfalls, and the troubleshooting steps to take when an API call goes sideways.
