Hi André,
No, this is not possible, unfortunately. The Data API is only available with FileMaker Server, not the client.
For your use-case you might be able to use the ODBC driver and then connect to the local Pro client (if you have an installation). I wrote some article about it in 2016; maybe it helps: https://davidhamann.de/2016/12/24/working-with-filemaker-data-in-python/
Unfortunately, getting the data out of a .fmp12 file without any FileMaker client or server software is a bit tricky since it's not a publicly documented file format. I thought about digging deeper into the fmp12 file structure in the past, but haven't gotten around to it so far.
Cheers!
Hi David, Your examples shows FileMaker Server Data API.
Can I also use python-fmrest to directly access a local Filemaker database(.fmp12) without Server Connection? I want to extract some fields from a existing database to save in a CSV format. Thanks
