Introducing FME Data Virtualization!
We are excited to announce a powerful new capability in FME: Data Virtualization – designed to bring the full power of FME directly into your applications, without having to build additional infrastructure or writing custom code. With FME Data Virtualization , you can now build secure, AI-ready, OpenAPI-compliant REST APIs directly on top of any system or data source FME supports. Complete CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality with built-in caching, security, all through our no-code interface. Why it matters Real-time access to any source: Expose APIs using FME workflows to engage systems without moving or duplicating data. AI-ready OpenAPI endpoints: Enable LLMs, agents, and AI platforms to interact with enterprise data securely. Built-in governance: Apply filters, authentication, and permissions to control exactly what gets shared. Streamlined innovation: Empower developers and data teams to create APIs without custom code or additional infrastructure. Capabilities at a Glance Filter to create custom views of data , eliminating sensitive or irrelevant information. Gain control and increase security by allowing only authenticated users and applications to access APIs. Data can be filtered out in FME workspaces to remove sensitive information and simplify the output response. Caching for high speed endpoint requests - deliver faster response time, for common or static requests. Better performance and reduced system load. Caching can be configured for the entire API or set individually per endpoint. AI-Ready OpenAPI Endpoints – AI tools can readily ingest Data Virtualization endpoints so you can use natural language to interact with data. Data Virtualization APIs are built using the OpenAPI standard allowing you to easily integrate with AI tools. Synchronous & Asynchronous endpoints - gives the application developer maximum flexibility to decide how they want to engage the application layer. Asynchronous processing allows the application to receive an immediate response from the Data Virtualization API. The results from the FME workflow are temporarily available for client or end user applications to retrieve.
