FMP using API to connect to Web Database

I am looking for specific FMP help on connecting FMP to Web db systems like forms, and polls. That provide API keys and have enabled the API method.

This has NO php element at all.

I simply am trying to find info on what currently exists out there as I can't find very much at all ! The FMP database will not be served, it will only be run from time to time and then it will bring in the data thats outstanding at that time.

Any help most welcome.

Well, it probably does... most of those API's want to talk to a web service, and are unlikely to provide anything that native FileMaker can understand.

They usually return some sort of data array that then needs to be changed into something FM actually understands.

A specific example of an API may be useful for further information.
