Support for comma delimited identifiers in the API?
Hi there.
I have been working with another REST API recently and one of the features
is the support for comma delimited lists as part of a API request. From
this example from the docs..
curl "http://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/completeDataSetRegistrations?dataSet=pBOMPrpg1QX&dataSet=BfMAe6Itzgt&startDate=2013-01-01&endDate=2013-01-31&orgUnit=YuQRtpLP10I&orgUnit=vWbkYPRmKyS&children=true"
-H "Accept:application/xml" -u admin:district -v
It would be useful to support this request as well..
curl "http://apps.dhis2.org/dev/api/completeDataSetRegistrations?dataSet=pBOMPrpg1QX&dataSet=BfMAe6Itzgt&startDate=2013-01-01&endDate=2013-01-31&orgUnit=YuQRtpLP10I,vWbkYPRmKyS&children=true"
-H "Accept:application/xml" -u admin:district -v
In some cases, we have many dozens or hundreds of orgunit UIDs in the
requests, and it might be just a bit simpler to have these delimited.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Jason
