Response Export ID Caching

A Response export ID is valid for one week. If consecutive Create Response Export calls are run with the same parameters, the call will return the same export ID. There are a few ways to get around this.



1) You can pass in the "seenUnansweredRecode" parameter and pass in a random number value.



2) You can set an "endDate" that is well in the future and choose different dates to send a new request.

Thanks @RKY - I need to automate this so it may be easiest to do the first option. When you say, "pass in a random number value" I'm assuming that every 30 minutes when the code runs, this value will need to be a new random number each time. Is that correct?

Of course random number will new

@RKY - I tried your suggestion and still am not receiving a dataResponse back. Am I miss understanding something?



downloadRequestUrl = baseUrl

downloadRequestPayload = {"format":fileFormat,"surveyId": surveyId, "useLabels": True, "startDate": str(startTimeISO) + 'Z', "endDate": str(endTimeISO) + 'Z', "seenUnansweredRecode":(str(randint(0, 9)))}

downloadRequestResponse = requests.request("POST", downloadRequestUrl, data=json.dumps(downloadRequestPayload), headers=headers)

print downloadRequestResponse.json()

progressId = downloadRequestResponse.json()["result"]["id"]

@RKY - after playing around with this it does appear that hard coding in a very distant future date does allow me to pull data in the past 30 minutes. I could not get the random # suggestion to work though (for anyone else looking for a solution).

Thank you.
