RedCap loader #61

Closed graft closed 5 years ago

graft commented 6 years ago

There should be a Magma::RedcapLoader < Magma::Loader, which is responsible for taking in data from a Redcap API and shoveling it into some Magma records.

  1. The loader should define some basic RedCap API interfacing methods/objects.

  2. The loader must perform the transformation from whatever the Redcap data format is to the Magma data format.

How does the loader support this transformation? A couple of possibilities:

1) Project-specific loaders extend Magma::RedcapLoader 2) The API accepts a mapping in YAML/JSON format between Redcap data items and Magma model/attributes.

Ideally the loader does both (2) and (1).

API access requires admin access for a redcap instance (which can be provided by another admin). One must enable the API module/widget (left side of the UI). Then you should be able to generate an API key.

There is a Redcap client in magma-ipi, I will at some point move it here.
