Admin API Keys

Introduction​

As of Otto 3.4.3 Otto can now provide scoped api keys for the FileMaker Server Admin API. They function like the Data API keys Otto has provided for years, but they work with the FileMaker Server Admin API, and the Otto Developer API keys

Creating Admin API Keys​

You can get Admin API Keys via the Otto Developer API.

Keys can be created with one of two scopes

Scopes​

migrationonly​

The migrationonly scope can be used to authenticate to the migration endpoint and the list files endpoint. It can't be used with the FileMaker Server Admin API, or any other parts of the Otto Developer API.

fullaccess​

The fullaccess scope can be used to authenticate to the entire FileMaker Server Admin API and the Otto Developer API.

Using Admin API Keys​

Admin API Keys can be used with the FileMaker Server Data API, FileMaker Server Admin API and the Otto Developer API. You can use the keys in one of three authentication mechanisms.
