If a survey says “active” in the project tab that means that the survey is currently published/live, which means respondents can still submit answers as long as survey availability options are still set to open. There may be instances where survey availability options are set to not be open after a certain date so responses can no longer be submitted, but the survey still shows “active” because the survey wasn’t officially closed within the project tab.

Great, thanks! Is there a way to see if a survey is no longer open to responses?

You can click Survey Options→ Responses→ Survey availability. Under survey availability, you’ll see if the survey is open or if the expiration date is past.

Oh, sorry, I meant through the API

@coe_ds Check survey status from this API: https://api.qualtrics.com/9d0928392673d-get-survey

Hope it helps

Thank you for that @dxconnamnguyen 

I see a few fields related to a survey status:

SurveyExpiration

SurveyExpirationDate

SurveyStatus

also the isActive field in the survey list API endpoint.

I’m wondering how I should use these fields to decide when a survey is done collecting responses, and ready to be collected / analyzed?

@coe_ds I’ve done some research
This is the one closest to what you’re looking for

SurveyStatus let you know if the dataset records are updated infrequently or frequently

SurveyExpiration; SurveyExpirationDate is your expriration setting.

Hope this helps
