FileMaker Server 13 supports FileMaker Pro 13, FileMaker Pro 12, FileMaker Go 13, and FileMaker WebDirect.
Compatibility
PyFileMaker – Integrating Python and Filemaker. We can retrieve files from the Filemaker Server as a binary stream. To do this we need to point to the container field of the object and query its content. Running with FM server 13.0.5.520 on iMac. Welcome to FileMaker® Server 13. FileMaker Server is a dedicated database server that opens FileMaker Pro files, makes them available to other machines on a network, and publishes FileMaker data in web pages on the Internet or a company’s intranet. FileMaker Pro is an application for creating and modifying database files.
Databases from older versions of FileMaker Pro will need to be converted to FileMaker Pro 13 in order to be hosted using FileMaker Server 13. Learn more about converting your pre-12 FileMaker solutions.
System Requirements
Note: OS X Lion is no longer supported. Please update your operating system before upgrading to FileMaker Server 13.
*Version stated is the minimum requirement. FileMaker Server may also work with later operating systems certified by FileMaker, Inc. Operating systems not listed in the table above have not been tested and are not supported.
Hardware Requirements
![]() FileMaker WebDirectSupported web browsers:
Cinematique instruments ensemblia. FileMaker WebDirect is accessible from a web browser. Supported web browsers include:
Concurrent connections
FileMaker WebDirect is accessed using concurrent connections in FileMaker Server 13. One concurrent connection comes with FileMaker Server 13 and additional connections can be purchased through the Server Admin Console or the FileMaker Store. Learn more about concurrent connections.
Recommended Hardware Configurations:
FileMaker WebDirect may require a second machine to be configured as a Web Publishing Server. The number of concurrent users accessing your solution determines the server machine configuration.

PyFileMaker is a Python Library that makes it possible to work with FileMaker‘s XML API. You can use the Filemaker XML API to query a FileMaker database, create records, modify records, execute scripts and more.
During the creation of web applications there is often a need to use third party services or programs. One of them is FileMaker. FileMaker is a cross-platform relational database application. It contains a GUI layer that allows a user to easily create different relations between tables, create bespoke layouts, and easily run reports on the go. FileMaker is used as a database as it contains built-in server (which is SQL based, and to which you can actually execute direct SQL Queries if you want to!).
It also allows you to run a PHP server which is powerful but also quite inefficient and sluggish at times. To connect to FileMaker we can use the provided XML API instead, and that is what PyFileMaker is doing.
Functions already implemented
PyFileMaker has a lot of functions to work with already implemented. Some of these include:
When we’ve started working with the PyFileMaker library we noticed a few missing parts that are desperately needed:
Filemaker 13 Download
In that situation one thing you can do is to extend the old library, write your own functions and integrate it together.

It turns out we can easily integrate PyFileMaker with FileMaker 13 and use then add in extra functionality that doesn’t exist in the original PyFileMaker Library.

All the standard functions work in the same way:
New functionality
To execute the code below remember to specify a proper database and layout.
Execute scripts
The FileMaker API allows you to execute scripts. We can execute them in two ways: with or without parameters. We can send a parameter as a string separated by a special character that can be parsed from the FileMaker script that is being executed (this can be done by a simple replace statement in the Get(ScriptParameters) method on a FileMaker script and replacing the designated character eg: | with a carriage return character, which will then recognise each parameter as a value for GetValues()).
Retrieve files
We can retrieve files from the Filemaker Server as a binary stream. To do this we need to point to the container field of the object and query its content.
Each object that contains a container field also contains a pre-generated query (returned by FileMaker) to retrieve its content. We can easily find it by displaying all the fields for that given object:
In this case we need the `ooh_zip` field.
Execute script after another command
The doScriptAfter Method is taking the following arguments:
SummaryFilemaker Server 17 Update
Since sometimes you can’t avoid working with third party applications such as FileMaker, you need to use something that is able to satisfy your requirements. If there is nothing currently available then it is probably a good idea to extend the functionality and just share your work and ideas with the community.

Hope this helps somebody!
