I’m attempting to get information from DVLA (Uk car plate registration service) using their API. You enter a reg and it returns simple info about it.

I can get it to work in POSTMAN perfectly.

I copy the curl code from postman and put it into Filemaker

i am using \” to start and end the headers. when it comes to 

—data-raw  I have used JSONsetElement function.

I have a feeling my —data-raw is off or I’m missing some obvious header in the api. I have attached my postman collection so you can see it work in postman and I have made a small Filemaker file with one script and 1 field, which shows the error im getting.
 

Any ideas?

DVLA_test.fmp12 dvla.postman_collection.json

I looked at the instructions here: 
https://developer-portal.driver-vehicle-licensing.api.gov.uk/apis/vehicle-enquiry-service/vehicle-enquiry-service-description.html#vehicle-enquiry-service-api 
and after a few experiments I came up with the attached.

DVLA_test2.fmp12

thank you so much.

 

I have been at this for days. 

the main change is to curl instruction for the registration number number which you have changed   --data-raw $[variable]    to     --d @$[variable].

 

thanks you so much, you have put the largest smile on my face. hope this helps others doing a curl with  --data-raw.
