We have designed the primary caDSR II APIs for ease of migration for existing customers. The URL syntax has changed, but everything else is the same. For comparison, the following examples retrieve the latest version of the CDE with public ID 62: 

• Legacy Format: https://cadsrapi.nci.nih.gov/cadsrapi4/GetXML?query=DataElement[@publicId=62][@latestVersionIndicator=Yes]
• New format: https://cadsrapi.cancer.gov/invoke/caDSR/GetXML?query=DataElement[@publicId=62,@latestVersionIndicator=Yes]

Keep in mind the following points:

• Both the publicId and latestVersionIndicator attribute criteria on DataElement are in brackets separated by a comma ",".
• Class and attribute names are the same as in the legacy format.
• XML and HTML are available for Legacy, but caDSR II offers XML, HTML, and JSON formats. To switch object format, change the "Get" parameter: GetXML, GetHTML, or GetJSON.
