This page explains how to find to use the APIs to:

  • Find the API

...

Also, you can check whether it is possible to connect to OpenClinica from OpenSpecimen and to verify if the API based authentication is working or not.

...

  • call time.

  • Check connection to OC.

  • 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 every time and run the job to sync in the data.

In this case, you can cross-check the time taken by the job to complete 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.
