API call to list all data elements within a dataset

Support - Assistance technique

Hi everyone,

Can someone share with me the API call to list all data elements within a dataset, perhaps the uid and name? Though if someone has something already that provides more fields that would also be great.

Thanks,

Nick

We would be also very happy of being able to do this, adding description field.

This should get you started:

api/dataElements?filter=dataSets.id:eq:DATASET_UID

In later versions of DHIS2, it would be something like this I think

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC?fields=dataSetElements[dataElement[id,name,description]]

Hi Nick,

I used this one to get the same:

/api/dataElements.json?filter=dataSetElements.dataSet.id:eq:Xd0ePcEz1nx&fields=description,id,displayName&paging=false

Jason is right, my suggestion does not work in later versions. Akash’s gives you what I was trying to get:

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataElements?filter=dataSetElements.dataSet.id:eq:lyLU2wR22tC&fields=id,name,description&paging=false
