...

  • call time.

  • Check connection to OpenClinica.

  • Verify API based authentication

Why run these APIs?

When the 'OpenClinica Study Data Importer' job takes more time (20-30 minutes) than an expected threshold, it becomes difficult to test the configuration and run the job to sync in the data every time.In this case, you can cross-check the job completion time by running these APIs using a terminal outside the OpenSpecimen.

Steps to run the APIs

  1. Invoke API to get the token on the terminal.

Code Block
curl -X POST \
--data '{"username": "demo_username", "password": "demo_password"}' \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
https://qlhc2.build.openclinica.io/user-service/api/oauth/token

In the above code, the ‘POST’ and ‘Content-Type’ will remain fixed.

Code that will vary

Server credentials: Username and password

Server URL: https://qlhc2.build.openclinica.io will be your OpenClinica server URL

https://qlhc2.build.openclinica.io: This URL comprises 4 parts, i.e., protocol, hostname, port, and path.

  • The protocol decides what language should be Protocol: Decides language used for communication between the client and the server. The hostname decides where the server is placed

  • Hostname: Server placement.

  • The port number is Port number: It’s a communication endpoint. It's optional. When not specified, the protocol defined standard port is used. For https, it is 443. For http, it is 80.

  • The path decides Path: Decides the location of the resource on the host. When not specified, it is /

Once you run the above codeAfter invoking auth API, you will receive a token, as shown in the below image.

Info

Every time, you will get a new token when you run the auth API.

curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/xml" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer #1step_token" \
"https://qlhc2.openclinica.io/OpenClinica/pages/auth/api/clinicaldata/S_ISPY(TEST)/*/*/*?includeAudits=y&includeDNs=n&includeMedtadata=y&showArchived=n"

In the above code, the 'GET' and 'Authorization' will remain fixed.

Code that will vary

Token: #1step_token Use the token from #1 step

Server URL: https://qlhc2.build.openclinica.io will be OpenClinica server URL

Study Name: S_ISPY(TEST) will be the study OID from the OpenClinica

After running the Invoking data API, you will know how much time it takes to invoke the download study data.

Once you get the APIs' exact API’s time, you can inform the OpenClinica team (client) to resolve the issue.
