WebAPI Bugs when filtering by level and ancestor

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi Devs,

I’m currently using dhis2 API to develop an App, but I have some troubles when I filter by level and ancestor in the same time.

To clarify:

Everything is ok with this one :
URL/api/25/organisationUnits.json?filter=level:eq:‘+level+’&fields=[id,displayName]

But by adding ancestor parameter the level is just ignored:

URL/api/25/organisationUnits.json?filter=level:eq:‘+level+’&filter=ancestors.id:eq:‘+ancestorId+’&fields=[id,displayName]

I will really appreciate your help and any link for an advanced dhis2 API topic.

Best,

Diao

Hi Morten,

Could this be linked to the issue I reported earlier?

Seems to work as its documented (at least in some cases)

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataElements?filter=name:like:IPT

Gives all data elements which contain IPT

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/dataElements?filter=name:like:IPT&filter=name:like:1st

Gives all data elements which contain IPT and 1st (but no others).

This however, does not work

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/27/organisationUnits.json?filter=level:eq:4&filter=ancestors.id:eq:O6uvpzGd5pu&fields=id,name,ancestors,level

as you get some level 3 and some level 4 units.

This however does work

https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/27/organisationUnits.json?filter=level:eq:4&filter=path:like:O6uvpzGd5pu&fields=id,name,ancestors,level

So, maybe the problem is filtering in the nested collections?

Many thanks for all of you,
I will just use the @Jason idea with path filter before to have a best way to handle it.
