The Indico Site for this training is https://indico.fnal.gov/event/65297/.
This tutorial will teach the basics of accessing and using the DUNE Hardware Database (HWDB).
A live doc will be used to monitor questions posed during the training: HWDB 2024 Live Doc.

Getting Started
First step: follow the directions in the “Setup” to arrived prepared for this event. Follow the instruction there to obtain your FNAL certificate, which you will need to communicate with the REST API of the HWDB. Follow along with the training via Incido.
By the end of this training, participants will know how to:
- GET/POST things from/to the DUNE HWDB through both the WEB UI and the REST API methods.
- Easily go up&down PID hierarchy, scan QR-codes, and GET/POST Item locations using the iPad app.
- Easily POST massive data to the HWDB using the Python API.
The complete online HWDB documentations
All REST API endpoints that are described in this training site are based on the online DUNE HWDB documentation, generated by Redoc. We do not cover the entire endpoints described in the online documentation. It is great idea to visit there and go through them.
Also the online DUNE HWDB documentation gets generated based on the Swagger site, which allows you to execute those REST API endpoints online interactively. We encourage users to exercise these two sites often.
