The result is in XML and can be parsed using the functions BE_XPath and BE_XPathAll from the plugin. We will perform the call using the BE_HTTP_GET function If our username is admin and our domain is goyafm the url will if we want to get the list from a subfolder instead than from the. The url will be our base URL followed by /remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/. Once the cURL option is set we can perform our GET request. We need to explicitly reset it calling the function without parameters when we don't need the option anymore. One thing to remember is that the effects of BE_Curl_Set_Option don't reset after a call. The BaseElements plugin function to do this isД«E_Curl_Set_Option ( 'CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST' 'PROPFIND' ) The option to set is called CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST and we have to set it to the value PROPFIND. The docs indicate that we need to perform a PROFIND request: to do the we need to set a cURL option before calling our GET request. The first step in the process is to retrieve the list of files and folders hosted in our account.

The implementation of these web services are quite different from the ones we covered in the previous posts ( Dropbox, Zendesk and Mailchimp).ДЇirst of all the format used for the response is not JSON but XML and in the case of the webDAV API we have to define a cURL option to retrieve the field list.

the Share API to share the files and folders.

the Provisioning API to manage the users.

the webDAV API to find files and folders.

Nextcloud has more than one API (with different implementations) and for our project we'll need 3 different services: The idea is the same: we want to share a folder or file in Nextcloud from within a FileMaker solution. I didn't know much about the Nextcloud API and despite the documentation being somehow fragmented, the interaction seemed possible using the BaseElements plugin. This integration was a request from a sponsor, who uses Nextcloud in a similar way to the Dropbox API example we posted recently.
