Hello, 

 

I would like to download a jpg file from my FME server and save it to my local drive with an API call. 

 

Using FME desktop, I am not sure which transformer/writer to use, and I can't seem to find my REST API call to work. There are a few API documentations in the web, but what I tried was a GET call, but it doesn't seem to download anything.

https://<fmeserver.example.com>/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/<MY_SHARED_SOURCE>/filessys/<file_directory/filename.jpg>

I am pretty sure my auth and permission is file.

 

Can someone please guide me how to achieve my goal?

 

Kind regards,

Tae

You can use the FMEServerResourceConnector transformer to e.g. download resource files from FME Server.

See https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/Transformers/fmeserverresourceconnector.htm

Thank you for replying. I have tried the exact path, but it doesn't seem to return my file. Can you please explain a bit further?

Did you look in the API documentation? There's a concrete example of how to use the endpoint:

Thank you very much. It seems the API point is working now. I think the header needs to be set as per the documentation. My apologies... I didn't think I can expand each section to look thoroughly...
