Requirements
FileMaker requires an active account and OAuth client credentials, granted by signing in with your account to connect — both are set up on its own site.[3]
Get your FileMaker credentials
You’ll be redirected to sign in and approve access — your password is never shared with WEXTL.
- Server HosttextRequired
The server origin, for example https://fms.example.com. Do not include /fmi/data/v2 — the app adds that path.
[1] - Database NametextRequired
The hosted database file name without the .fmp12 extension.
[1] - HostingselectRequired
FileMaker Server uses an account name and password. FileMaker Cloud uses a Claris ID token that expires after one hour.
