dhis2-python: integration client for dhis2

Requirements: Python 3.8+

Quickstart

Install using pip:

$ pip install dhis2

This will install the dhis2 command in your local environment (installing into a virtual environment recommended).

The tool supports a pluggable architecture, but the core supports:

• Inspecting dhis2 instances
  • dhis2 -i inventory.yml inspect host-id/group-id
• Extracting mCSD and SVCM compatible payload, and pushing those to a FHIR compliant server
  • dhis2 -i inventory.yml facility-list mcsd mcsd-config.yml
  • dhis2 -i inventory.yml code-list svcm svcm-config.yml
• Extract ICD 11 (MMS) LinearizationEntities as DHIS2 Option Sets
  • dhis2 -i inventory.yml code-list icd11 <icd11-host> --root-id <X>
• Extract ICD 10 ICD10Entities as DHIS2 Option Sets
  • dhis2 -i inventory.yml code-list icd10 <icd10-host> --root-id <X>
  • Please be aware that the icd11 docker image does not include the icd10 code lists, so you have to use the public instance which requires API keys
• Extract Individual Case Safety Reports E2B (R2) XML from DHIS2 instances that have installed the WHO AEFI package

(see description of formats below)

As of now, we do not support sending data to dhis2, only extraction is supported.

Formats

Inventory

The inventory is where you will store all your services, and various groupings you might find useful (most commands will only work on single sources/targets though, with the exception of the inspect command currently)

The basic format is as follows

hosts:
  playdev:
    type: dhis2
    baseUrl: https://play.dhis2.org/dev
    username: admin
    password: district
  playdemo:
    type: dhis2
    baseUrl: https://play.dhis2.org/demo
    auth:
      default:
        type: http-basic
        username: admin
        password: district
  fhirdemo:
    type: fhir
    baseUrl: http://localhost:8080/baseR4
  icd11local:
    type: icd11
    baseUrl: http://localhost:8888
  icd11official:
    type: icd11
    baseUrl: https://id.who.int
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
  icd10official:
    type: icd10
    baseUrl: https://id.who.int
    headers:
      Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
groups:
  dhis2:
    - playdev
    - playdemo

The keys of the hosts and groups block will be used to identifiy targets when using the dhis2 commands.

Please note that:

• Currently only http-basic is supported for dhis2
• For fhir no authentication is supported (coming soon)

mCSD / SVCM configuration

Both mCSD and SVCM currently has the exact same format so we will describe them together. You will need a source host, target host (or some other target) and a set of filters if desired.

Basic format

source:
  id: playdev
target:
  id: fhirdemo

This configuration would simply take all org unit or option sets inside of dhis2 and push them to a fhir instance.

If you would want to store the result instead, you can use the log:// target

source:
  id: playdev
target:
  id: log://

(this is also the default if no target is given)

Individual Case Safety Reports E2B (R2) configuration

Extract of E2B R2 compatible XML is now supported in the tool. To use it, you will need a connection to a dhis2 instance with the DHIS2 WHO AEFI program, and for now only individual tracked entities can be extracted (more flexible query mechanism is coming)

Basic dhis2 config

hosts:
  d2aefi:
    type: dhis2
    baseUrl: https://dhis2-instance.com
    username: username
    password: password

Example command for extracting E2B XML

dhis2 -i inventory.yml e2b d2aefi --tracked-entity some-te-uid
