Find Data Element by Public ID

The following example finds a data element with Public ID = 62, displaying the basic metadata attributes. Since the version is not known, this query can only be handled via a caDSR REST API query getting all versions.

Legacy

The URL for the results from the caDSR 4.1.x REST API is

https://cadsrapi.nci.nih.gov/cadsrapi4/GetHTML?query=DataElement[@publicId=62]


Or the query can retrieve only the latest version.

caDSR II

The URL for the results from the caDSR II REST API is

https://cadsrapi.cancer.gov/invoke/caDSR/GetHTML?query=DataElement[@publicId=62]

Or the query can retrieve only the latest version.

Find Data Element by Public ID, Display All Related Components

The following example finds a data element with Public ID = 62, displaying all the metadata associated with the data element's related components, not just the basic attributes. This is handled in the caDSR REST API using a parameter that produces expanded ("heavy") XML.

Get Data Elements Using Concept Code or Concept Name

The following examples show how to retrieve data elements using either the concept code or the concept name where the concept is the Primary concept of the related caDSR item. In these examples, results are returned in XML. 

Legacy: Find All Data Elements Where Associated Concept is Primary Concept of Data Element's Object Class

This example shows the use of either the Concept Code (C19448) or the Concept Name "Blood and Blood Products". Results are identical from these two calls, both are returned in XML.
