Data import through API in zip format

Hi all,

searching in the documentation I couldn’t find a way to import a data file in zip format through the API. I know it is possible to do it using the user interface (import/export module), but we need to use the API. Is it supported?

This problem arises in contexts with a poor connection, where large data exchanges are a pain.

Thank you,

Víctor

Hi

Did you try and simply send the data as a zipped file? I think we support both gzip and zip, you don’t need to do anything else than zip it down before.

I’m not 100% sure it will work, but this is how our metadata endpoints work.

Hello Morten,

first of all I forgot to mention that we are using version 2.21.

Yes, we tried sending the zip file, but no success. The server response was:

{

“responseType”: “ImportSummary”,

“status”: “ERROR”,

“description”: “The import process failed: Unrecognized token ‘PK\u0003\u0004’: was expecting (‘true’, ‘false’ or ‘null’)\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@bdd767e; line: 1, column: 6]”,

“importCount”: {

“imported”: 0,

“updated”: 0,

“ignored”: 0,

“deleted”: 0

}

}

Regards,

Victor

Quickly glancing over the source code for this stuff: it seems to discern formats using extensions. For example, one would use a POST to api/metaData.json.zip or api/metaData.xml.gz.

Could you give that a try, Victor?

Ah, my bad. I misread ‘data’ as ‘meta data’.

What is the exact request (including headers) you are using? Do you have a reproducible cURL we could try?

Also, what is the format of the zipped data file? (The error you are seeing is the importer encountering a ZIP file header byte whilst expecting valid JSON).

Right. I am actually not sure if this is supported on 2.21. On more recent versions we support a content-type of ‘application/json+zip’, which you could have tried, but I do not think this is available on 2.21 (it should work on the demo server).

Do you have any insight Morten?

Hi Victor

I had a quick look at source code and I am not sure that we do support
zip encoded payloads for datavalueset import at all :frowning:

The way that it works auto-magically through the web ui is that we
actually peek into the stream header to deduce whether the stream is
zipped or gzipped.

Have you tried using gzip to compress your file instead of zip? Then
it should (I think) be possible to have nginx handle the decompression
for you. ie. try this:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Content-Encoding: gzip"
-u admin:district -d @datavalues.json.gz
"https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets.json" -X POST

Hi Victor

I had a quick look at source code and I am not sure that we do support

zip encoded payloads for datavalueset import at all :frowning:

The way that it works auto-magically through the web ui is that we

actually peek into the stream header to deduce whether the stream is

zipped or gzipped.

Have you tried using gzip to compress your file instead of zip? Then

it should (I think) be possible to have nginx handle the decompression

for you. ie. try this:

curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “Content-Encoding: gzip”

-u admin:district -d @datavalues.json.gz

https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/dataValueSets.json” -X POST

If you want me to try something else, just tell me.

Yes you are right :frowning:

I was thinking of apache reverse proxy with mod_deflate. Nginx won't
do this out of the box, but there is a module
(http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_gunzip_module.html\) which is
not built as standard which probably would.

Meanwhile looks like Morten has fixed anyway.
