Topic: Getting all ValueSets as bundle

Hi all,
Diego Bosca (Jun 29 2018 at 08:32):
I'm trying to find "lightweight" way of getting all ValueSets in a FHIR terminology server. The obvious way is to do a search, which in theory will return all ValueSet resources in a Bundle. Problem is that these ValueSet can get really big, and for the moment I just want to present the user which valuesets are available, and getting the contents of really large ones seems like an overkill. Is there any other way to query resources and get only references?

No way to get just the URLs, but you can get a 'light' version of the resource using _sumary=true (see http://build.fhir.org/search.html#summary)

or use _elements
Diego Bosca (Jun 29 2018 at 11:39):
both seem to achieve what I want, thanks!
