Intro

PyCap is a python module exposing the REDCap API through some helpful abstractions. Information about the REDCap project can be found at http://project-redcap.org/.

Available under the BSD (3-clause) license.

Features

Currently, these API calls are available:

• Export Records
• Export Metadata
• Import Records
• Export File
• Import File

Events and Arms are automatically exported for longitudinal projects (see below).

Requirements

• requests (>= 1.0.0)

  $ easy_install requests

Usage

>>> import redcap
# Init the project with the api url and your specific api key
>>> project = redcap.Project(api_url, api_key)

# Export all data
>>> all_data = project.export_records()

# import data
>>> data = [{'subjid': i, 'age':a} for i, a in zip(range(1,6), range(7, 13))]
>>> num_processed = project.import_records(data)

# For longitudinal projects, project already contains events, arm numbers
# and arm names
>>> print project.events
...
>>> print project.arm_nums
...
>>> print project.arm_names
...
