Remotely retreiving and posting information from OpenMRS

[Rakshit Wadhwa]

Greetings!

I developed a basic module that creates a table which takes patientId, obsId, and similar information, and added a custom field of mine.
Now, I want to push and pull data from the table we created, and other information related to patient etc, remotely through a separate android application.
I realize that for this I need something like Rest Module (https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/REST+Module).
Can someone please elaborate over where I can find documentation on usage of this module, or if there is something else we should be relying upon.

Also, if you can share some source code which do something on parallel lines, and may or may not use Rest module.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.


PS: We are trying to develop a prototype which allows results of medical devices interfaced with android, to be directly pushed to OpenMRS.

Thanks and regards

Hi Rakshit,

Please find the API details in [1]. The page you specified is the main documentation for the rest services module. In that page there are many resources which points to usage of this module. Have a look at them also.

Thanks,

Harsha

Thanks Harsha

I went through the links, however, I am still not able to get started on the code.

I was unable to find any piece of code that uses these APIs.

Any example source code that uses rest module API will come extremely handy to initiate our implementation.

Thanks and regards

Web services module is expose a REST API. So you can write a rest client for access the API. 

For example curl -u admin:test -i 'http://localhost:8080/openmrs/ws/rest/v1/concept?limit=2'. This curl command will return two concepts as a json array which you needs to handle from your client side. This is just a example of curl rest client. The url will be same for other clients. Also look at [1]. In you application,the data access from OpenMRS REST API needs to handle by a REST client.Hope this helps.Also look at [2] and [3].

Check unit tests in REST module ...

I am unable to generate .omod file for rest module.

I am using the source code as https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-webservices.rest

Also the download link ( http://modules.openmrs.org/modules/view.jsp?module=webservices.rest) doesn't seem to be working.

Also in the source code there are following directories:
omod  omod-1.10  omod-1.8  omod-1.9  omod-common

Which one shall I build?

Thanks and regards

Hi Rakshit,

The correct download link is: https://modules.openmrs.org/#/show/153/webservices-rest

@Elliot, @Downey, I think that the redirect we recently put it place fails for module ids that have a dot in them. (Or, modulus expects a different url.)

Thanks Darius

I am getting http error:500 due to

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openmrs.api.OrderService.getOrderType(Ljava/lang/Integer;)Lorg/openmrs/OrderType;

The complete trace is as follows:

Hi Rakshit,

What version of openmrs-core are you running? You should be running the latest released version, which is 1.9.7.

The latest released version of openmrs-core, plus the latest released version of the webservices.rest module, should work fine together.

Thanks Darius

That solved the problem.

Looking forward to use rest module in my application.

Thanks and regards
