FRED API

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi there,

I was trying to get started with FRED API following the documentation that can be found here

http://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch25s21.html

Get all facilities or Get a specific facility based on either UID or UUID I already can do, but I’m struggling to create a new Facility. The example has

curl -u username:password -X POST -d @new_facility.json -H “Content-Type: application/json” http:///api-fred/v1/facilities.json

but I couldn’t find the content of the file new_facility.json. Based on specification, http://facilityregistry.org/#create-facility, we only need to specify facility name like this:

{

name: "Kakamega HC"

}

Running

curl -u admin:district -X POST -d @demo.json -H “Content-Type: application/json” http://localhost:8081/api-fred/v1/facilities.json

I’m getting always Error 400 - the request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect.

Kind regards,

Paulo Grácio

Hi, json requires properly quoted key. So you need to use “name”: “”

When you get these 400 errors, ot might be a good idea to use jsonlint.org to check your json
