Get DHIS2 Instance System Information

get_system_info() retrieves information about the connected DHIS2 instance itself — version, revision, build time, server date/time zone, and similar — from the system/info endpoint. Useful for checking compatibility before relying on version-specific behaviour.

Usage

get_system_info(auth = NULL, call = caller_env())

Arguments

auth

Optional. The authentication object.

call

The caller environment.

Value

A named list of system information fields (e.g. version, revision, buildTime, serverDate, contextPath), as returned by DHIS2. Confirmed live against a public DHIS2 demo instance.

See also

khis_api_version() for the API version pinned on the current credentials.
