.GLA API Calls v2.1.4.7
Reading Data
In an effort to make the PCR-360 API more flexible, PCR has made the decision to no longer create individual endpoints for all the different data types. Instead, PCR is encouraging Users to use the SQL endpoint with a structured SELECT statement to retrieve exactly the data you want. Please see the SQL endpoint documentation for more information.
Example SELECT query for retrieving GLAs and their Components:
SELECT * FROM V_GLA_COMP_COMB_ADMIN;
Lists
When doing an INSERT or UPDATE for GLA records, it is sometimes necessary to provide values that exist elsewhere in the system. The LIST method can help to retrieve available options for these values. Below is how to make a LIST request:
GET http://DOMAIN/api/API_KEY/gla.OUTPUT?LIST=LISTTYPE
Searchable
If a LISTTYPE is designated as searchable in the table below, adding the "SEARCH" param will return values that contain the provided value.
GET http://DOMAIN/api/API_KEY/gla.OUTPUT?LIST=LISTTYPE&SEARCH=test
Parameter | Replace With |
---|---|
LISTTYPE | The type of List to be retrieved. Types can be found below. |
List Types
Type | Description | Extra Parameters* | Searchable |
---|---|---|---|
CHARGE_CATALOG | Get available Charge Catalogs | Yes | |
CONTACTS | Get available Contacts | CTYPE - Type of contact. Example: "worker" | Yes |
DEPTHIER | Get available Departments | No |

Writing GLAs
Available as of 2.1.4.5
GLAs can be easily added (INSERT) or updated (UPDATE) through the API. Each installation of PCR-360 can have a different number of GLA Components so this documentation generalizes the information, but knowledge of the specific system's requirements is necessary.
It is important to note that GLA Components can be added, but they CANNOT be updated via the API. When updating a GLA via the API, the request is limited to everything in the table below except the Component fields that begin with 'gla_item_'.
