The events and enrollments APIs return paginated data even with paging set to false or skipPaging set to true. DHIS2 version: 2.38.2.1.

Hi @Hiwot_Chichaybelu, welcome to the community! :tada:

In response to your inquiry, I would suggest two things:

  1. You can completely disable paging by adding the ‘paging=false’ parameter. For example https://xxdomainxx/api/tracker/events.json?orgUnit=xxxxxxxxx&ouMode=DESCENDANTS&program=xxxxxxxxx&occurredAfter=2022-01-01&occurredBefore=2022-12-31&paging=false. Or,
  2. You can increase the page size of the data being loaded/downloaded by adding ‘pageSize=1000’ parameter. For example https://xxdomainxx/api/tracker/events.json?orgUnit=xxxxxxxxx&ouMode=DESCENDANTS&program=xxxxxxxxx&occurredAfter=2022-01-01&occurredBefore=2022-12-31&pageSize=500

For more information, check out the Documentation.

I hope our response is able to solve the issue you were facing.

Hi Hiwot :wave:

Thanks for letting us know about this. This appears to be a bug, so we’ve opened a new issue: [DHIS2-14476] - Jira. There’s been some related fixes, so I think some of them (e.g. api/events?skipPaging=true) are actually already working again in the most recent DHIS2 builds.

Just in case you do want to retrieve everything at once (and that won’t crash your server :sweat_smile:), you could also try setting pageSize parameter to some very high number (or you can also check the actual total number of records by setting totalPages=true)
