Using the FME Plug-in SDK to Import/Export from an Application

Introduction

Depending on your data needs, FME can be integrated with other applications and platforms. Before beginning, check whether an integration has already been created; these integrations may be listed on Safe.com or the FME Hub. If FME does not integrate with the application you need, here are a few options:

  • Use the Application’s API 
  • Use FME Flow
  • Use the FME Plug-in SDK

Options for Integrating with an Application

Use the Application’s API 

If your desired application has an API, you can use it with FME and the HTTPCaller transformer to create an integration. This integration can then be wrapped in a custom transformer and shared if desired. 

Use FME Server

FME Flow can be used to automate integration workflows with automations, connect to the FME Flow REST API from another application, use webhooks, or embed a web-based application using an FME Flow App

Use the FME Plug-in SDK

Developers can use the FME Plug-in SDK to develop an integration for their desired application.

Submit an Idea 

A fourth option, if you don’t wish to create the application integration yourself, is to submit an Idea for the integration to the FME Community or reach out to one of our Partners
