All data available through DHIS2 API ?

Support - Assistance technique
1

Dear all,

I am new to DHIS2 and just joined the community.

I’m trying to extract data through the API.

I could easily extract a list of organisationUnits through a link like /api/organisationUnitGroups/FKXJxzwouXl

But when going deeper in one unit in the adminstrative data, i can’t find all information that i see through the GUI.

I am looking for instance to extract the geographic coordinates.

Is everything available through the API ?

How can i access the geographic coordinates of a unit ?

Thanks for your help,

Stephane

Hi Stephane

The coordinates are available on the /api/organisationUnits endpoint. So if you went to:

/api/organisationUnits/.xml

You will find a <coordinates …/> element which has the coordinates.

Thanks a lot,
Nice to have such a quick reply…

I’m now having the same kind of problem when trying to get data from a datasets.

Using the api i can browse though the category hierarchy but when reaching the last level, i don’t see the value of an element ?

I checked this time in json and xml but still the same…

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Stephane

I’m not sure exactly what you are trying to do. But using the API browser, you do not end up with a datavalue. It can however be used to gather all required meta-data to get this data. Please have a look at our documentation regarding reading dataValueSets [1].
