Hello, I’m trying to extract coordinates for the organization unit but the API doesn’t return any coordinates, it only returns the following columns; code, name, id.

This is the api I’m using [https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.13/api/organisationUnits.json?fields=id,name,code,featureType,coordinates&paging=false](https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.13/api/organisationUnits.json?fields=id,name,code,featureType,coordinates&paging=false)

Kindly assist where necessary. @stratosilva @Edward_Robinson @Gassim

Hi @Kenyuri,  
Thank you for your post!  
actually, please try to use geometry property:  
[https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.13/api/organisationUnits.json?fields=id,name,code,geometry&paging=false](https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.13/api/organisationUnits.json?fields=id,name,code,geometry&paging=false)

The api request you posted is requesting featureType and coordinates from the /organisationUnits endpoint but if you look at the api/schema, the following properties are the only ones supported:

> Organisation Unit
> 
> **properties**  
> parent  
> publicAccess  
> type  
> path  
> lastUpdated  
> children  
> translations  
> uid  
> href  
> groups  
> displayDescription  
> lastUpdatedBy  
> userGroupAccesses  
> created  
> attributeValues  
> displayFormName  
> users  
> phoneNumber  
> userAccesses  
> name  
> dataSets  
> legendSets  
> programs  
> shortName  
> dimensionItemType  
> favorites  
> aggregationType  
> code  
> access  
> displayName  
> description  
> contactPerson  
> displayShortName  
> externalAccess  
> periodOffset  
> formName  
> openingDate  
> email  
> address  
> memberCount  
> url  
> closedDate  
> geometry  
> comment  
> user

Hope that helps! 👍
