Hello everyone,
I use Commcare for PMTCT in Haiti. I'm curious to know if it is possible to
create cases through API ? Currently, we have to manually upload cases to
Commcare using excel data upload. I wish to automate the process.
I'm working on integration of commcare with our internal system using
commcare's API calls. I wish to create a case on Commcare as soon as it is
created on my internal system. I can make a POST call to Commcare API with
patient information. Is there a POST call to create case? Or only GET calls
are allowed for cases?
Alternatively, to create cases should I POST Registration form, basically
mimic mobile form submission?
Thanks

Hi Piyush
You can use the Submission API
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Submission+API to
submit data to CommCare. This API accepts XML forms which can contain
CaseXML https://github.com/dimagi/commcare/wiki/casexml20 in them that
will be processed to create or update cases.
