Hosting databases for access via OData

Note  Disable OData only when the databases are not being used by OData clients.

OData allows access to a database file from an OData-capable provider via a set of REST-compliant API statements.

To host a database for access via OData:

1. Prepare your database for OData access using FileMaker Pro. See FileMaker OData Guide.

2. In Admin Console, click Connectors > OData, then set OData to Enabled.

3. Upload the database file to FileMaker Cloud. See Uploading, encrypting, and opening database files.

4. Use a REST-compliant web service to send HTTPS requests in the form of URLs that specify the OData statements.
