I am trying to use the BaseElements plugin to GET and POST data to Wunderlist using their API but haven't been successful in figuring out the correct steps yet.  I have used BE plugin before with SendHub to send text messages directly from FileMaker.  It took lots of playing around with it before I finally figured it out.  I know Wunderlist is going to be pretty close to the same I just don't have much experience with this and need a little guidance.  Once I can successfully GET/POST data I can probably take it from there.  I am having trouble figuring out the proper formatting of the headers etc to allow access to the GET and POST commands.  Mainly just wanting to POST tasks to a list and maybe track and see if that task was moved to a new list.  I know this can be done.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Attached is kinda what I got going on right now.  Its wrong I know, trying to figure out whats the correct way to do it.  If someone could take a look at the developer documentation and let me know what I need to do that would be great.

Wunderlist Developer API Documentation

What version of FM are you using? I'll assume less than FM16 if you're using BE plugin.

Have you tried this in Generator?

If you are using Wunderlist, you may want to start looking for alternatives. Microsoft acquired them I believe. And is shutting it down.

I am using version 16 the latest.  I was just using BE plugin as that is what I have used in the past and didn't know really of any other way. From my research I cant use the functions built into FileMaker as I have to set custom Headers to use the Wunderlist API and I don't think you can do that with just FileMaker alone but I will play with this Generator from Geist.

No I have not tried that Generator.  I will give it a try.  Looks promising, Thanks bcooney!

Josh,  Those posts are from like almost a year ago.  If this happens then I will look into something else I guess lol.  We have been using Wunderlist for years now and looking for the best way to get it a little more integrated into my existing database.

Well, Microsoft's stance is that they are going to kill Wunderlist when they reach near-feature-parity. Microsoft has released To-Do which looks almost exactly like Wunderlist. It will be part of the Office365 suite ( though so far is also stand-alone for free ). So I imagine it will have an API.

If you are using 16, you can set custom headers. Here, @Wim Decorte shows some custom functions that handle setting headers. https://community.filemaker.com/docs/DOC-8177
