Best answer by fmelizard
FME can absolutely connect to web services and has built in support for a number of popular ones.
If we don't have built in support, you can add it with this basic pattern.- Locate the web service docs.
- Locate the part that talks about creating an app or web service access or something like that.
- Locate the part that talks about OAuth.
- Locate the part that talks about REST API.
- I want to download a table or a layer
- I want to create a record

- Request URL
- HTTP method
- HTTP parameters (optional)
- HTTP query string (optional)
- HTTP body (optional)
- Client Id
- Client Secret
- Authorization URL
- Access Token URL
- Access Token Request format
- Client Redirect URI

- Open the preferences/options >
- Web Connections >
- Manage Services >
- Scroll to the bottom of the page >
- click the the plus button >
- select OAuth 2.0 Service
- Fill it out the information you recorded earlier
- Add an HTTPCaller transformer
- Add the REST call information you recorded earlier.
