Accessing Question Export Tags via API

If you use the Get Survey API the Choice Export Tags are under result->Questions->QIDxx->ChoiceDataExportTags

​@knowakowa ​@TomG ,  You can explore the No-Code Qualtrics API Toolkit (available in the Chrome Web Store) to easily perform common API use cases — such as sending distributions, managing contacts, or automating surveys — without writing a single line of code.

We just released a free Chrome extension that solves exactly this problem: Qualtrics API Toolkit by Pirai AI for the XM Community

✅ No-code solution - designed specifically for non-technical researchers
✅ Upload a CSV with responseId + your embedded data fields
✅ Validates everything before processing
✅ Tracks progress in real-time
✅ Simple point-and-click interface

It uses Qualtrics APIs under the hood but you don't need any coding skills. Just search "Qualtrics API Toolkit" on Chrome Web Store.

Would love to hear if it works for your use case! And if you find it helpful, please share with others who might need bulk updates. 🙂

Thanks Tom for your reply. Questions QIDXX this is what i am seeing and what I see under subQuestions i don’t see ChoiceDataExportTags anywhere.

In the API documentation it is also not there in the example (4th one is Matrix question).

Am I missing sth here?

​@knowakowa,

If you run the API at the link I provided, here is what it returns for a Matrix question with Question Export Tags (non-relevant parts replaced with ...). Question Export Tags are near the bottom.
