Leveraging REST APIs for Infrastructure Management using FME
0 likes493 views
The webinar focused on leveraging web APIs for infrastructure management with presentations on FME integration, Autodesk Tandem, Bentley iTwin, and IBM Tririga. It highlighted how to access and manage data from cloud applications using FME's tools, including setup requirements and tips for successful integration. Participants were encouraged to engage through polls and community interactions while having access to resources for further learning.

- 5. Agenda ● Overview of FME & infrastructure management ● The power of Autodesk Tandem & REST APIs ● Integrating API tools with Digital Twins, using Bentley iTwin ● Extracting floor plans from IBM TRIRIGA ● Resources & Q+A
- 6. Which of these programs have you worked with or are interested in working with in the future?
- 7. Every day, more data is moving from on premise files and databases to web applications.
- 8. Using FME and Web APIs, you can access the data in these new applications just as you do in your local files.
- 9. What are APIs? Application Programming Interface ● Contains a series of web calls you can make to a server to perform operations ● Allows computer programs to talk to each other ● REST and SOAP are the two main types of web APIs ○ Newer applications will use REST ● Interact with APIs using FMEʼs HTTPCaller

- 12. FMEʼs Growing Support for Formats Over the Years
- 13. Demo
- 14. Autodesk Tandem
- 15. Autodesk Tandem ● Cloud based Digital Twin Solution ● Populated from Revit or IFC BIM data ● Extensible through user defined parameters and templates
- 16. Autodesk Tandem ● Currently a Descriptive Twin ● FME can be used to improve Tandemʼs data connectivity ● Boost Tandem up the scale by integrating with other digital data sources Verdantix Digital Twin Maturity Model
- 17. Tandem Transformers in FME Updates tandem features from FME attributes Reads features and attribute schema from Tandem
- 18. Preparing Tandem ⚫ Create Forge App to communicate with Tandem REST API ⚫ Add new Parameters to store linked data
- 19. Update Tandem from Excel ⚫ Populate Room Parameters from Excel table
- 20. Summary Points ● FME can read from and update Tandem model attributes ● Updateable parameters must be created by user ● Forge application must be created to access Tandem through API

- 23. Demo
- 24. Requirements ● A login to your Bentley account ● Register your application ○ Client Secret ○ Client email ● Create a new blank iModel to get Model ID information for the use in the iTwinModelUploader ● An Azure SaS account
- 25. Bentley iTwin APIs ● Administration ● Digital Twin Management ● Events ● Reality Capture ● Reporting & Insights ● Review ● Synchronization & Exports ● Validation ● Visualization
- 26. Resources for Bentley iTwins ● FME iTwinModelUploader ● Registering your application ● Bentley iTwins APIS
- 27. Summary Points ● It can take some preparation work: ○ Common requirements: creating an App in the target web app to get a Client ID, secret ● It may likely take some learning: Reading API documentation
- 28. Demo
- 29. IBM TRIRIGA
- 30. IBM TRIRIGA ● IBMʼs Facilities Management application ● Floorplans stored as DWG ● SOAP API to query records
- 31. TRIRIGA Transformers in FME Extracts Record information from TRIRIGA Submits SOAP request to TRIRIGA
- 32. TRIRIGA to ArcGIS Indoors ● FME template created in concert with Esri ● Reads CAD Integration layers from DWG ● Extracts TRIRIGA id from rooms and levels ● Extracts TRIRIGA attributes though API ● Merges CAD with attributes ● Writes to ArcGIS Indoors geodatabase
- 33. Summary Points ● FME can extract records from TRIRIGA ● TRIRIGA geometry stored in integrated DWG or Revit files ● SOAP API is complex, but Hub transformers make it easier
