Hı all,

I just started learning the fme server.

We create wep api using django rest freamework.

 

Is it possible to do web api with fme server? Is Fme server enough in speed and security. Is there a documentation I can examine as an example?

 

 

Thank you

FME Server has a very mature and complete REST API that is easy to work with:

https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_REST/apidoc/v3/index.html

Security aspects are also well taken care of:

Based on personal experience, I would say that FME Server is perfect for back-end work, especially for "longer" jobs. I would probably not consider using it as a critical part of a responsive GUI, as there is always the possibility of long-running jobs blocking the engines, and thereby not giving the result within a reasonable timeframe. So for example using FME Server as a clip-snip-and-ship solution, I'd consider FME Server as an asynchronous service.
