getEntityData async

getEntityData(projectId, datasetName, url_params=None, include_metadata=False)

Get a lightweight JSON of the entity data fields in a dataset.

Be sure to check the latest docs to see which fields are supported for OData filtering: https://docs.getodk.org/central-api-odata-endpoints/#id3

Example response list (include_metadata=False): [ { "__id": "523699d0-66ec-4cfc-a76b-4617c01c6b92", "label": "the_label_you_defined", "__system": { "createdAt": "2024-03-24T06:30:31.219Z", "creatorId": "7", "creatorName": "fmtm@hotosm.org", "updates": 4, "updatedAt": "2024-03-24T07:12:55.871Z", "version": 5, "conflict": null }, "geometry": "javarosa format geometry", "user_defined_field2": "text", "user_defined_field2": "text", "user_defined_field3": "test" } ]

Example response JSON where: - url_params="$top=205&$count=true" - include_metadata=True automatically due to use of $top param

Usage Example

  • An async context manager must be used (async with).
from osm_fieldwork.OdkCentralAsync import OdkProject

async with OdkProject(
    url="http://server.com",
    user="user@domain.com",
    passwd="password",
) as odk_central:
    projects = await odk_central.listProjects()
