Hi, I am using DHS API to get DHS Country data. When I compare this data with Statcompiler data for few indicators as sample, I see that API data is less and missing the detailed level variables.
Can I please get the clarity if StatCompiler has more detailed data vs API and if yes, is there any API support to get detailed level data from StatCompiler.
Sharing samples files for comparing the two data for an indicator.
Thanks,
Gaurav

All data in the DHS STATcompiler comes from the DHS API. The API, though, by default, displays national estimates. To get the disaggregated data, you need to add the breakdown parameter (see http://api.dhsprogram.com/#/api-data.cfm). For example:
For national estimates of the TFR:
https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data/FE_FRTR_W_TFR?f=htm l
If you want to add subnational estimates, you add &breakdown=subnational, e.g.
https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data/FE_FRTR_W_TFR?f=htm l&breakdown=subnational
If you want just other background characteristics, you add &breakdown=background, e.g. https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data/FE_FRTR_W_TFR?f=htm l&breakdown=background
If you want all disaggregations, you add &breakdown=all, e.g.
https://api.dhsprogram.com/rest/dhs/data/FE_FRTR_W_TFR?f=htm l&breakdown=all
