FileMaker information

  • In a URL, when requesting an individual repetition, use brackets ([ ]) or forward slash (/) to specify the repetition index.

    Examples:

    • /fmi/odata/v4/ContactMgmt/Contacts('ALFKI')/Name[1]

    • /fmi/odata/v4/ContactMgmt/Contacts('ALFKI')/Name/1

  • If the repetition field is a container field, only the first repetition is returned unless the repetition index is specified. Otherwise, all repetitions are returned.
