Our Qualtrics surveys redirect to our website on completion, passing the SurveyID and ResponseID to the landing page, and we need to display some aggregate information pulled from the response on the resulting page that the respondent sees.
I've looked into using the v3 CreateResponseExport API, but aside from being a huge amount of developer work (three requests, handling zipped files, parsing data files that could contain many thousands of records) it is also way too slow to be usable for displaying an immediate response to a site user.
I would dearly love for a GetResponse API action to be added, which takes a ResponseID and returns the response data - this seems such an obvious use-case, that I find it hard to believe it is not in the v3 API!
However, I have found that it _does_ exist in v2.5 of the API, as getLegacyResponseData. Therefore, I have been attempting to test whether this gives us what we need, at an acceptable speed.
The problem I am currently hitting is that the response is returning an EAP135 error: "The requested resource does not exist.".
* This doesn't appear to be an issue with authentication, as using an incorrect username or token results in a different error: "Incorrect Username or Password" or "Invalid token", respectively.
* This doesn't appear to be an issue with the SurveyID or ResponseID, as I get the same response if I call the getSurveys action, which takes no arguments.
* This is not a problem in my implementation, as I get the same response when using the 'try it' functionality at https://survey.qualtrics.com/WRAPI/ControlPanel/docs.php#getSurveys_2.5
Can you let me know what I'm doing wrong? Has the 2.5 API stopped working, or do we need to enable it on our account? Or is there something else going on?
Here is the full URL that I am trying to get to, with username and token redacted:
https://survey.qualtrics.com/WRAPI/ControlPanel/api.php?API_SELECT=ControlPanel&Version=2.5&Request=getSurveys&User=USERNAME&Token=TOKEN&Format=JSON
Kind regards,
