It requires organization unit Id in which data will be inserted & also the program Id in which you want to insert it, in the API as a parameter

API Query is like this to fetch Data , GET Request

`https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.3/api/29/events.json?orgUnit=ImspTQPwCqd&program=ZGksV1GvIlO`

To get orgId & programId you can get it from the url

> [@Benndip](#):

Please do a GET Request once on the API I shared it will fetch all the events with data

Also the database resets every night , so the API may not work after few hours & you may need to recreate the program & events

One more thing I think we don’t need to insert On-Call Data using App because it will be done by the facility administrator using website, we just need to fetch it

I have a doubt regarding how to classify baby as normal, problem,

please tell if this way is correct to implement it

The Tracked Entity Instance (Child) will have a hidden attribute `classification` from user when the user will enter baby’s Examinations result such as Temperature, Skin color changes etc, we can set this variable as Problem or Normal based on the data entered in app automatically.

Other way I thought was to use indicators in DHIS2 but there is not a direct API to fetch indicator values

if anyone has any idea on this then please discuss

I think whenever doctor will do the baby’s assessments, there we can ask the status of baby(normal, problem or danger) during each assessment.

I tried this & it only shows indicators name & not their value , I read from here that Indicator values are not saved in tables, DHIS2 calculate indicators on the fly from analytics.

Yes, I think this can be a possible option

You are calling the wrong API resources. Data Values ([1.73 Tracker Web API](https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_tracker_api.html#webapi_events)) should be called, particularly for the trackedEntityInstance (i.e. the baby) - [1.73 Tracker Web API](https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_tracker_api.html)

@Darshpreet2000

It would be better to have status(normal/problem/danger) as a parameter which can be filled at the time of filling assessment by the staff. I think it would be better than trusting a hard coded formula. Later we can easily filter out babies based on this parameter.

I have a small doubt in this, by using the API with organisation unit and program as parameters we receive the same output as we have on a **get request** but we should be receiving an **import summary** as per the documentation. I examined the response also this doesn’t insert the new trackedentity(in our case **baby** ) inside the program. Can anyone please verify this?

I am using the following end point -

`{{BASE_URL}}trackedEntityInstances?ou=kbGqmM6ZWWV&program=m26bppPG9T4`

To create a tracked entity & to enroll it in a program use the following Endpoint only with POST

`https://play.dhis2.org/2.35.3/api/trackedEntityInstances`

I inserted Following JSON Object & it was successfully inserted in your created program

`{ "trackedEntityType":"WPvWotSmBRe", "orgUnit": "kbGqmM6ZWWV", "attributes": [{ "attribute": "YbX0CbYP0HO", "value": "Mrs ABCD EFGH" }], "enrollments": [{ "orgUnit": "kbGqmM6ZWWV", "program": "m26bppPG9T4", "enrollmentDate": "2021-04-03", "incidentDate": "2021-04-03" }] }`

By using the events endpoint you will get the items you inserted in **Event Capture Program** not the **Tracker capture program** Also by making a post request at this endpoint it will add events into the Event Capture Program not Tracker capture program(which we are going to use for babies). Reference - [1.73 Tracker Web API](https://docs.dhis2.org/master/en/developer/html/webapi_tracker_api.html#webapi_events)

`For events with registration, a tracked entity instance identifier is required, read about how to get this in the section about the trackedEntityInstances resource.`

Thanks @Darshpreet2000. Found my mistake i was using **“trackedEntity”** instead of **“trackedEntityType”** 😅 Now the data is successfully inserted into the program.

Also can you please modify your previous answer as it might confuse others this one →
