Write FileMaker Data API calls

Component	Description
An HTTP method (also known as an HTTP verb)	The FileMaker Data API uses the following HTTP methods: POST Used with Log in to a database session, Create a record, Duplicate a record, Perform a find request, and Upload container data. GET Used with Get a single record, Get a range of records, Get metadata, and Run a script. PATCH Used with Edit a record and Set global field values. DELETE Used with Log out of a database session and Delete a record. Note FileMaker Data API doesn't support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) and the OPTIONS method.
HTTP headers	The FileMaker Data API uses the following headers: Content-Type: application/json Used with Log in to a database session, Log out of a database session, Create a record, Edit a record, Perform a find request, and Set global field values. For this header, "application/json" is the only value allowed. For HTTP requests that use this header, the FileMaker Data API requires content to be JSON encoded. Content-Type: multipart/form-data Used with Upload container data. For this header, "multipart/form-data" is the only value allowed. Authorization: `session-token` Used with most of the HTTP requests. The value for `access-token` is the unique session token returned when logging in to a session. It is required to authenticate access to the hosted database. See Log in to a database session. Authorization: FMID {`FMID-token`} Used with HTTP requests for databases hosted by FileMaker Cloud. `FMID-token` is the Claris ID token provided by the Claris ID identity provider system. For information on the Claris ID token, see Claris Customer Console Help. X-FM-Data-OAuth-Request-Id Used with Log in to a database session using an OAuth identity provider and Get metadata. This header specifies the X-FMS-Request-ID header value that is returned from the /oauth/getoauthurl URL. X-FM-Data-OAuth-Identifier Used with Log in to a database session using an OAuth identity provider and Get metadata. This header specifies the identifier that is returned by the OAuth provider.
A call URL	The FileMaker Data API URLs all start with one of the following: To specify that version one should be used: `/fmi/data/v1/databases` To specify that the latest version should be used: `/fmi/data/vLatest/databases`
Parameter data in JSON format	Not needed with Log out of a database session, Get metadata, Delete a record, Duplicate a record, Get a single record, Get a range of records, or Run a script.
