Re: API Datavalue Question

 

Dear Timothy,

The dataSet query parameter is required.
Try something like

api/dataValueSets?orgUnit="KQfLafniynG"&dataSet='dataSetUID'

Note that datavalues are related to a period, orgunit and dataset.
Ideally, a set of values (dataValueSet) may not appear in multiple
datasets, thus there is need to indicate which dataset.
