@Goodski when you use the incorrect data center it should respond with this
```
"Request proxied. For faster response times, use this host instead: yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com"
```
What kind of request are you trying to make?

Right now I'm just trying to get a 200 OK response. Sorry I'm new to API's.

so far I'm just want to connect I'm sure I missing at least a one step. I am trying to pull up https://yourorganizationid.yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com I'm not sure if posting that actual org id and data center would be helpful.
Thanks

Are you using Postman or some other API testing tool to make your requests or like a scripting language?

---

eventually, I would like to bring the data into sheets via google appscript. I have downloaded postman. Do you know if there are any tutorials on postman that use qualtrics?

Ok, I will give you a brief example of how to retrieve the surveys in your account.

!

This is Postman, I am making a request to retrieve a list of surveys in my account.

The documentation can be found here https://api.qualtrics.com/docs/list-surveys

1. According to the documentation this is a GET request so I set POSTMAN to GET

2. The URL according to the documentation is https://yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys so I use that URL.

3. To authenticate my request I switch to the Headers tab in Postman and enter X-API-TOKEN as my header Key and my API token (found in your Qualtrics account settings) as my Value.

4. After I click SEND in POSTMAN this body of JSON is returned.

Here is an example of the returned JSON:
```
{
"result": {
"elements": [
{
"id": "SV_0SQrolfz0XoHeFT",
"name": "Timeliness of Order Delivery - Survey - V2",
"ownerId": "UR_dj6xQpdGIpPOyHz",
"lastModified": "2018-04-20T19:15:55Z",
"isActive": true
},
{
"id": "SV_1AjJgxCuz7YcQPX",
"name": "Date Picker",
"ownerId": "UR_dj6xQpdGIpPOyHz",
"lastModified": "2017-11-29T19:57:52Z",
"isActive": false
}
],
"nextPage": null
},
"meta": {
"httpStatus": "200 - OK",
"requestId": "ec70fd52-6731-43ce-9117-b3a861450ffd",
"notice": "Request proxied. For faster response times, use this host instead: az1.qualtrics.com"
}
}
```
Note that the datacenter ID I should be using is az1.qualtrics.com

Thank you very much I was able to access the api through postman

@Goodski Awesome! Play around with that and get a feel for how to construct the API requests. Once you have a handle on that you should be able to translate that knowledge to using the requests with Google App Script. I have never used it so probably can't help with it.

Feel free to message me directly or post here if you have any questions about making the API requests.
