Hi Aamer,

To get the files you uploaded, you need to use the following end points:

If the file is stored through the aggregate part of dhis2

api/dataValues/files?de=<data_element_uid>&co=<category_option_combo_uid>&ou=<organisation_unit_uid>&pe=<period>



If the file is stored through the tracker part of dhis2

api/events/files?eventUid=<event_uid>&dataElementUid=<data_element_uid>

---
Thank you,
Abyot.
