Maybe you can reuse these example API calls 🙂

`https://play.dhis2.org/2.36.12/api/dataSets.json?fields=id,name,dataEntryForm[id,htmlCode]&filter=dataEntryForm:!null&filter=dataEntryForm.htmlCode:null`

`https://play.dhis2.org/2.36.12/api/programStages.json?fields=id,program[name,id],name,dataEntryForm[id,htmlCode]&filter=dataEntryForm:!null&filter=dataEntryForm.htmlCode:null`
