Hi Every body,
I’m looking for a video or a way to begin to use web api for updating data, Accessing data, doing CRUD on DHIS2 metadata. When I read Developer manuel, I don’t know where and how to begin using web api as explained in the manual.
Can someone help me by providing me explanation and a case that will help me begin with web api?
Your help is welcome.
Thanks.
Hi Vunda,
As far as I know, there isn’t any other resources for getting started working on the DHIS2 api.
I assume you know the basics on how to consume an api, and just want to get into using the DHIS2 api. If thats the case I would suggest:
Setting up your own local DHIS2 instance (so you dont need to fear other people changing data while you work)
Use a tool like Postman or Curl to easily play around with the api (There is a lot of curl examples in the documentation)
Read the documentation regarding common DHIS2 api features like pagination, field projection and filtering.
Depending on your understanding of the DHIS2 data model, try to read documentation and play around with the DHIS2 UI to get a better grip on how the data model works.
Hope this helps. Also if you are able to pinpoint exactly what you are having challenges with, let us know so we can improve on this in the future.

Hi Stian,
Thank you for, but I’m a newbie and look for a basis cours or tutorial that will help me to begin to use Web api.
Your suggestion is welcome.

Dear Limbe,
All you need to get started is in the Developer Manual for DHIS2. You can download the PDF Version
Definitely, you will need some programming experience to use curl
Regards and good luck.

You can do anything, but not everything.
