| Overview |
|---|
The available OpenData web services allow the querying of course catalog and course section, map locations, news, events, transit information, and directory information via REST based web services. All web services return data in JSON format.
Services are called as REST formatted URLs with any additional desired parameters placed in the URL in name value pairs:
|
| Security |
|---|
|
Security credentials can be obtained through the following link:
https://secure.www.upenn.edu/computing/da/webloginportal/eforms/
Security credentials will be sent to you via SecureShare when the form is submitted. Credentials consist of an application id and a credential string.
These values must be placed in name value pairs in the http header of any requests per the following example:
"Authorization-Bearer", "UPENN_OD_emjT_1002233"
"Authorization-Token", "2bbk83v7fasdth34j5asas" Content type should be posted as follows: "Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8" Requests can be POST or GET; as there is no update on the server side for these services, POST and GET filter to the same handler. Query usage is currently constrained to 6000 calls per hour per client id - you will receive an errror if you exceed this maximum. Note that one account is required for each of the following service groups: Maps & Events & News API, Transit API, Registrar's API, Dining service, and Directory API. |
| Paging |
|---|
Paging parameters can be appended to the course section search and the course search queries.
Paging can be used to control how many objects appear in each result and to page through those objects with additional service calls.
Paging information will be included in the service_meta result object for each call.
Sample call with paging parameters:
|
| Service meta |
|---|
The service_meta information included with the results of each service query contains information regarding the current paging numbers and any error information.
Sample service_meta object:
"service_meta" : {
"current_page_number" : 1,
"error_text" : "",
"next_page_number" : 1,
"number_of_pages" : 1,
"previous_page_number" : 1,
"results_per_page" : 20
}
|
| Course catalog search service |
|---|
This service allows the search of the course catalog using subjects and course numbers. It does not return section level information.

| Course section search service |
|---|
This service is a wrapper for the PennInTouch course search service.
All parameters available to search on within PennInTouch are available in this wrapper with the exception of student specific search parameters,
such as "only find courses that fit in my current schedule". Acceptable URL parameters for in-depth searches can be retrieved from the
Course section search parameters service. The course section search will generally
return only results within the current term. At times, there may be more than one term open. when this is the case, the map "available_terms_map"
in the service Course section search parameters service will contain multiple terms and term
may be passed as a parameter to the service.

| Course section search parameters service |
|---|
This service, which takes no parameters, allows user to programmatically access acceptable parameters that can be passed to the Course section search service.
This service allows programmers to build the same pulldowns and entry fields that exist on the PennInTouch course search by
providing them with a list of maps and descriptions. Note that parameters that are fed by map MUST have one of the acceptable
map values as a value or an error will be returned.
For this service, result_data contains a map of acceptable parameters to pass, labeled "acceptable_search_url_parameters_map".
If the possible values for the parameter are constrained to a map of values, that is indicated in the text, for instance: "starts_at_or_after_hour"
: "Use one of the values from the map starts_at_or_after_hour_map". Ergo, when passing ?starts_at_or_after_hour=VALUE in the URL, VALUE
must be one of the acceptable values in the included map “starts_at_or_after_hour_map”.
Sample usage:
{
"result_data" : [ {
"acceptable_search_url_parameters_map" : {
"course_id" : "Enter any portion: acct, acct-101, acct-101-001",
"description" : "Enter any word to search for in the course description or title",
"instructor" : "enter all or part of an instructor's last name",
"starts_at_or_after_hour" : "Use one of the values from the map starts_at_or_after_hour_map",
"ends_at_or_after_hour" : "Use one of the values from the map ends_at_or_after_hour_map",
"course_level_at_or_above" : "Use one of the values from the map course_level_at_or_above_map",
"course_level_at_or_below" : "Use one of the values from the map course_level_at_or_below_map",
"fulfills_requiremement" : "Use one of the values from the map fulfills_requiremement_map",
"activity" : "Use one of the values from the map activity_map",
"starts_on_day" : "Use one of the values from the map starts_on_day_map",
"program" : "Use one of the values from the map program_map",

| News / events / map search service |
|---|
|
This service allows text search on items that are searchable in the application m.upenn.edu. These items include map locations (campus items),
news articles, and events. Each one of these types of items has a different json structure but they are all returned in one list
if the search is searching more than one content type (configurable by the service). It can easily be determined which item one is dealing with
by checking the "content_type" field in the resulting json list. This field will return "news", "events", or "map". The text search is a Lucene indexed
search and will acccept and execute on particular operands such as OR, AND, quotes, etc.
In order to configure which items you would like to search, use the parameter "source" and pass any of the following items: "news", "events", "map".
At least one source declaration is required or not results will be returned. To search only news: ?source=news&description=penn To search both news and events: ?source=news&source=events&description=penn Unfortunately, some of the fields for news, events, and maps may contain HTML markup from the source. This markup will have to be stripped if so desired. Sample usages:

<a title=\"Living Independently For Elders (LIFE)\" href=\"http://www.lifeupenn.org/\">
Living Independently For Elders (LIFE)</a> program headquarters, almost every person he
passes shakes his hand, nods “hello,” greets him by name. And despite having a
jam-packed itinerary as the CEO of the all-inclusive elder care center, Drake knows their
names as well.</p>\n\n<p>“We have 422 members, and I’ve gotten to
know a great majority of them,” says Drake, who took the helm of the School of Nursing’s
LIFE program four years ago. “I have lunch with them. And when I see them, believe me,
they tell you the positives of the program.”</p>\n<p>And for the members of the
program, who are able to spend time at home and avoid round-the-clock nursing home care thanks
to LIFE, the positives are aplenty. Since 1998, LIFE’s innovative program has been
providing all necessary preventative, primary health, acute, and long-term care and
transportation during the day so that eligible senior residents of West Philadelphia
can remain in their communities.</p>\n<p>“If you talk to most of the
elderly people in the community, they’ll tell you they’d like to stay in their
homes,” Drake says. “They have nothing against nursing homes, they don’t
mind going for a short stay to rehab, but often, they like to go home and be in community-based
living, and that’s our goal—to keep people at their highest functioning level in the
community.”<br />For Drake, who has an MBA and a master’s degree in health
science administration, and has been working in the long-term nursing care industry since 1993,
that mission—and his passion for working with the elderly—were what drew him to
Penn.</p>\n<p>The <em>Current</em> visited Drake at the LIFE program
headquarters at 4508 Chestnut St. to talk with him about the challenges of running a unique
health care system, new problems facing today’s elderly populations and their caregivers,
and the joys of spending time some of the elder residents of West Philadelphia.
<br /><br /><strong>Q. When you first joined the LIFE program team,
what were some of your main initiatives, and how have they evolved?</strong>
<br /><strong>A. </strong>A lot of them were and still are geriatric
initiatives with reducing the amount of emergency room visits, reducing hospitalizations,
keeping people in the community, keeping them out of the nursing home environment, that’s
what most people want. <br />I always believed Penn had the best nursing school, and I
believe that because of that, LIFE is the No. 1 PACE [Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly]
program, which is the national model that helps older people remain in their homes.<br />
You can look at the LIFE program like it’s an inside-out nursing home. We provide the services
someone would get in a nursing home, but in their home. They can come [to the center] Monday
through Friday, and they can see their nurse practitioner, a podiatrist, a dentist, an eye doctor,
the medical director, physical therapy, or just come here and socialize for the day. So they
really enjoy the program.<br /><br /><strong>Q. Who is an ideal candidate
to participate in the program?</strong><br /><strong>A.</strong>
Everyone who is in the program has to be nursing-home eligible with a diagnosis, so we have a
very frail population. In fact, we have the No. 2 highest acuity among the PACE programs,
which presents its own challenges. Potential members have to be over 55 years old, live in
one of our 13 zip codes—10 across West Philadelphia, North Philadelphia, Southwest
Philadelphia, and three in Delaware County—and who would rather be in our program than in
a nursing home so they can stay at home.<br /><br /><strong>Q. What made you
want to do this kind of work?</strong><br /><strong>A. </strong>I just
liked working with the geriatric population. I started as a nurse and working in nursing homes,
and really enjoyed it, but always thought, like a lot of nurses, I wanted to try working in a
hospital. I worked in the ER, I worked in oncology, and after I did that for two years, I
thought I really missed the contact with the geriatric population. Caring for them, they can tell
you so many stories about what they’ve done and where they’ve been. I felt it was more
fulfilling.<br /><br /><strong>Q. You seem to have good relationships with
many of the members of the program. What do people tell you they like about LIFE?
</strong><br /><strong>A.</strong> I think that they like that it’s
all inclusive—members can come here and get everything instead of having to go from their
house to a doctor’s appointment, then to a senior center. They’ll come here and they
can socialize for part of the day, see their physician—it’s all under one roof, and
they enjoy that.<br />One of the other great benefits we offer is home care. So during the
past few weeks, as it was snowing and temperatures were dropping, if they need to stay home and
need care, we come out to them so they didn’t have to get bundled up and onto our bus to
come in and get cared for.<br />When it snowed two years ago for about six straight days,
we had people begging to come back in to socialize. This is their home away from home. They
come here and have a light breakfast, but at lunchtime, they’re talking away. These are
people who have had similar lives and similar experiences, and they just really like it.
<br /><br /><strong>Q. What about the employees?</strong>
<br /><strong>A. </strong>I think that the people [who work] here are
very passionate about what they do. If you talk to any of the nurse practitioners here, you’ll
hear that we’re proud of the fact that we are the only owned and operated PACE program
with the School of Nursing. We’re proud that we’re the only PACE program that is
Magnet-certified through [American Nurses Credentialing Center’s] Pathway to Excellence
Program, and we were on President Obama’s Higher Education Community Service Honor
Roll with Distinction in 2009. That was a big honor, and the proposal wasn’t written
by an administrative person—it was one of the employees here who thought of the idea and
wrote it because he believed it was such a great program. In general, the employees support it
and really believe in it, which is nice.<br /><br /><strong>Q. In what ways is
the LIFE program beneficial to family members and caregivers of older individuals?
</strong><br /><strong>A. </strong>Think about it this way—when
you have a loved one who is debilitated at home, it’s pretty much a 24/7 job. Even when you
go to work, you’re worried about that loved one. They can come here Monday through Friday,
and you know where they are and that they’re being cared for. It’s a respite for the
family—a break. The six to eight hours a day they’re here is time that family members
can go food shopping, go to work—time that they might not have had before programs like this
existed.<br />One of the other benefits is we do give respite care. We’re not here 24/7,
and people don’t live here. But say your grandmother was in the program, and you and family
wanted to go down the shore. We will find her a respite place for a week. We’ve offered that to
all of our families, because we don’t want them to burn out. We want to be here for the
assistance, but again, it’s really a partnership.<br /><br /><strong>Q.
Do you think the challenges for caregivers and the older population have changed in recent years?
</strong><br /><strong>A.</strong> I think that since the economy’s
been worse, it has really changed, because you have a lot of people who are unemployed or
underemployed, working second and third jobs to make ends meet, and it makes it that much more
difficult for them to care for their loved one. This program is a lifesaver because somebody
might have to drop their loved one off at 6 a.m. because they recently changed jobs and have to
commute farther now—we accommodate that for our members. And we do it because we want to do
what it takes for our members to stay in their community. <br /><br /><strong>Q.
How do you think programs like LIFE benefit the communities they serve?</strong>
<br /><strong>A. </strong>It keeps people in their homes so that they
can continue to go to the same church that they’ve been going since 10, 12 years old.
This is an area where a lot of the membership here owns their homes, and they’ve been in
those homes for 30, 40 years. Taking them out and putting them into a nursing home or sending
them somewhere to a different zip code, it starts to erode the community. People want to stay
where they’ve been. And in this community [surrounding] the University—Penn’s
goal is to strengthen it, not to weaken it. This program, I think, definitely strengthens it.
<br /><br /><strong>Q. Could you speak about the research and education
of the LIFE program’s mission?</strong><br /><strong>A.</strong>
We have a tripartite mission: research, education, and the practice. A lot of research takes place
here from the School of Nursing, as well as other schools within the University, such as f
Dental Medicine, the School of Social Policy & Practice, and Wharton. We do a lot of clinical
education; all the nurses go through one rotation here.<br />For research to be done here,
[the researchers] must present to the Council of Elders, a group of the membership that has to
approve any research project. They have a say in it here, which is important. <br />
Recently, we’ve had studies about the relationship between incontinence and exercise, and
hospitalizations among African Americans. The council approved both of them because they felt
they were worthwhile for the community.<br /><br /><strong>Q. What’s
your favorite part of working with LIFE program?</strong><br /><strong>A.</strong>
Seeing the satisfaction that the members get from being in the LIFE program. A lot of them know
that if we didn’t have this program, there would be a lot of uncertainty in their lives.
They don’t know if they would be living in a nursing home, in some other kind of placement,
or in and out of a hospital.<br />I think when you see someone who comes in and they’re
really not in good shape, you’re part of their life; you meet them, you hear in meetings that
they’re not healthy and people are concerned. Then the whole team assesses them and we
put them on a care plan, and you see them four months later, and they’re in arts and crafts
or doing ceramics. You just say to yourself, ‘We’re doing right thing.’</p>",

| Campus map item filter parameters service |
|---|
This service, which takes no parameters, allows user to programmatically access acceptable parameters that can be passed
to the Campus map item filter service
This service allows programmers to build the same pulldowns and entry fields that exist on the map search by
providing them with a list of maps and descriptions. Note that parameters that are fed by map MUST have one of the acceptable
map values as a value or an error will be returned.
For this service, result_data contains a map of acceptable parameters to pass, labeled "acceptable_map_filter_url_parameters_map".
If the possible values for the parameter are constrained to a map of values, that is indicated in the text, for instance: "building_type_id"
: "Use zero or more of the values from the map building_type_parameters_map". Ergo, when passing ?building_type_id=VALUE in the URL, VALUE
must be one of the acceptable values in the included map “building_type_parameters_map”.
Sample usage:
{
"result_data" : [ {
"acceptable_map_filter_url_parameters_map" : {
"asset_type_id" : "Use zero or more or the values from the map asset_type_parameters_map.",
