App Overview

ODK is a data collection platform used by researchers, field teams, and other professionals to collect they data they need wherever it is.

Integration Options

In order to fetch data from an ODK Central, you must run a scheduled job with a cron trigger using the odk adaptor.

Here's an example of a job that gets submission data.

getSubmissions($.projectId, $.xmlFormId);

Every time this job runs it will get of all submissions and write them to state.data, leaving your state object looking like this:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "__id": "uuid:85cb9aff-005e-4edd-9739-dc9c1a829c44",
      "age": 25,
      "meta": {
        "instanceID": "uuid:85cb9aff-005e-4edd-9739-dc9c1a829c44"
      },
      "name": "Bob"
    },
    {
      "__id": "uuid:297000fd-8eb2-4232-8863-d25f82521b87",
      "age": 30,
      "meta": {
        "instanceID": "uuid:297000fd-8eb2-4232-8863-d25f82521b87"
      },
      "name": "Alice"
    }
  ],
  "response": {
    /* ODK response headers, code and context*/
  }
}

I've noticed a problem with this Adaptor, or something is out of date, what can I do?​
