- API for third party data entry client - DHIS 2 includes many APIs for fetching resouces from the system. These can be data - elements, indicators, organisation units, etc, but this API is not really well suited when you - want to build your own third party client and only need information specific to the users - assigned data sets / programs. From DHIS 2.13, we also support an additional API for easily - building your own data entry client. This API is only available in JSON, since a third party - client in most cases these days will be a mobile client, or a client written in - JavaScript. - All the APIs for this have a starting point at http://<server-url>/api/currentUser/*: + User information and associations + In order to get information about the currently authenticated user and its associations to + other resources you can work with the currentUser resource. + The current user related resources gives your information which is useful when building + clients for instance for data entry and user management. The following describes these + resources and their purpose. http://<server-url>/api/currentUser Gives basic information about the user that you are currently logged in as, including username, user credentials, assigned organisation units.
