Problem reading data values with the web api

Adam_Uhuru · 14 May 2015 20:35

Hi

I am trying to read data values using the web api, and followed the developer manual. I am getting this error message each time:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

This error happens when even typing the request on the browser this way http://domain:port/api/dataValueSets.xml?dataSet=ID1&orgUnit=ID2&period=201401

Do you know what could raise this error ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Adam

Hi Adam,
This is not an error really, but just your browser telling you that it cannot render the XML which the API returns to it. You can use Google Chrome or Firefox and you will be able to see the XML. There are also browser plugins available which will render it more human readable form.

Regards,

Jason

You can also replace .XML with .json for an alternative view.

Hi,

Thank you for your answers.

I tried that too, by directly entering the query in the browser (Chrome). I get in response an xml file that contains no value. I also tried with json. With csv, I get on the browser this more explicit message:

HTTP Status 406 -

Which browsers? Which version of DHIS2? Is the system running well otherwise?

Can you check the logfile in the Tomcat logs folder?

That xml looks perfectly well formed. Just that there are no
datavalues to be retrieved for that dataset - orgunit - period

Hi Uhuru,

I generally tend to use Postman - REST Client a chrome extension for testing the web services. You can try it too.

Adam_Uhuru · 17 May 2015 19:19

Thank you.

It happens that our system contains 2 data sets, taking account of the fact that paper forms have evolved in the past (changes in the combinations of categories, mainly). Curiously, even if recent data is captured from the DHIS2 forms of the last dataset, they are only visible through the API with the oldest dataset id. Using the new dataset id won’t give any data. Could I have confirmation that things work this way ?

Best regards
