I was able to successfully install senaite LIMS and HEALTH. Now I need to import patients from my other app to senaite using csv/xls file or direct db dump. Is this doable. where I can find senaite lims database. Is there a way to create patient via api. what is the api endpoint?
Hi @prabba90,
Senaite relays on ZODB, an oriented object database. To get readable data from the DB you have to access the Python object stored as a “pickle” and then instantiate it.
As I see it, you have two options to get/export/import data from/to Senaite:
- You can create your own addon:
-
Read Plone documentation to understand the addon creation: https://docs.plone.org/4/en/develop/addons/helloworld/extend/index.html
-
Build an Add-on from scratch. You can copy https://github.com/senaite/senaite.core.supermodel as your template and rename/add the things you need).
-
Make use of Senaite internal API (https://github.com/senaite/senaite.core/tree/master/bika/lims/api). You will find some examples about how to use the API functions here: https://github.com/senaite/senaite.core/tree/master/bika/lims/tests/doctests
- Take advantage of Senaite RESTful JSON API (https://github.com/senaite/senaite.jsonapi) that works as an abstraction layer to read, modify and create data in the system by http requests. You will find this answer interesting: How to export data from Senaite.Lims and how to install senaite.exporter?
