Downloading Thesauri

[CBroz1]

I'd like to treat our team's Uwazi translations as 'ground truth' when updating other tools like paper forms. Is there a way to batch download all thesauri to CSVs? I see that uploading from CSV is possible

Hi @CBroz1,

Thank you for your question. As you mentioned it is possible to import thesauri items from a CSV file, but unfortunately it is not possible at the moment to download all your thesauri items to a CSV from within Uwazi.

However you could use the API to get all your thesauri items in json format that then you could manipulate as you need.
Simply log in to your instance, point to https://<your-instance-name>/api/dictionaries, and save the results to a .json file.
If you have translated your thesauri in different languages and you also want to get the translations, use https://<your-instance-name>/api/translations, save the results again as a .json file, and then you could search for "type": "Thesaurus" to find the thesauri items in the available translated languages.
Probably not what were you looking for, but I am afraid it is currently the only available way to somehow address your request. Let me know if you have any questions or need something else.

Thanks, @aphilop !

For the benefit of future readers, or just my future self ...

Fetching from the API with python

import requests

uwazi_instance_api = "https://<your-instance-name>/api/"

session = requests.Session()
login = session.post(
    f"{uwazi_instance_api}login",
    json={"username": "USERNAME", "password": "PASSWORD"},
)

if login.status_code != 200:
    print(login.text)
    exit()

translations = session.get(f"{uwazi_instance_api}translations")
dictionaries = session.get(f"{uwazi_instance_api}dictionaries")
