Hi guys

 

I was wondering if FME could be used with automating what I need. It's easy to do manually, but potentially need to do this 100's of times.

 

Basically I need Shortened "Share" Google Map URLs from a GPS bearing, and a QR code of the google maps.

 

So e.g. I put in GPS beraing:

 

55.982017, -4.258112

 

Then I get these results:

 

QR SAMPLE

 

 

 

would be great to set up a simple web site to have a form for this

Hi @tdltd​,

What are you using to generate the QR codes currently? I took a look at some QR generators online and I noticed some had APIs available. If you're using one of those you can try connecting to their API using a transformer like the HTTPCaller and feeding in the url's you want to get QR codes back as a response.

 

We've got some resources on connecting to APIs like the Tutorial: Getting Started with APIs that might be helpful to check out. Once you have a successful workflow set up, if you have access to FME Server you might consider creating and FME Server App to give it a web form kind of look in Getting Started with FME Server Workspace Apps. And if you don't have server but you're interested in trying out server apps, you can trial it here.
