This page explains how to find use the APIs to:

  • Find the API

...

  • 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 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.
