Getting Survey Responses Using New Export APIs Sample in C# for SSIS | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi,
I've seen the document which describes how you can get your users' responses to your surveys using the new export APIs. Examples are included in both Python and Java.
https://api.qualtrics.com/guides/docs/Guides/Common%20Tasks/getting-survey-responses-via-the-new-export-apis.md
Has anyone translated this to C# code for me to use in SSIS for the Getting Survey Responses Using New Export APIs?
Thanks!

Did you get to work with SSIS to generate survey responses out of Qualtrics?


Hello,

 

I am also looking for the same. I want to integrate C# into an package. does anyone have an example of this?

 

Thanks,

Ryan


Here is c# code that works

//step 1 - Start the export [ steps are followed as per Qualtrics guidelines for V3 API]

            try
            {
                var httpWebRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url);
                httpWebRequest.Headers"X-API-TOKEN"] = api_Token;
                httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
                httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
                httpWebRequest.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = false;
                System.IO.StreamWriter streamWriter = null;
                System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = null;
                using (streamWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
                {
                    jsonInput = String.Format(@"{{ ""format"": ""xml"",""useLabels"":{0},""filterId"":""{1}""}}", useLabels.ToLowerInvariant(), surveyFilter); // filter is created in Qualtrics survey and used here
                    streamWriter.Write(jsonInput);
                }

                var httpResponse = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
                streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream());
                var responseText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

                var results = JObject.Parse(responseText); //JSON deserialize object will need an object model. So, used JObject for this result retreival
                var rstCode = (string)resultsJ"meta"]e"httpStatus"];
                if (rstCode == "200 - OK")
                {
                    exportID = (string)resultse"result"]t"progressId"];
                }

                httpResponse.Dispose();
                streamReader.Close();
                streamReader.Dispose();

                //step-2 Wait for the export to complete
                //url = url + "/" + exportID;
                httpWebRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(url + "/" + exportID);
                httpWebRequest.Headersm"X-API-TOKEN"] = api_Token;

                streamReader = null;

                int counter = 0;

                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000); // Qualtrics requires a time delay for this next call

                while (true)
                {
                    httpResponse = (System.Net.HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
                    streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream());

                    responseText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

                    if (responseText == "" && counter < 10)
                    {
                        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
                        continue;
                    }

                    results = JObject.Parse(responseText);

                    if (rstCode == "200 - OK")

                            break;
                        }
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        counter++;
                        //email error
                        if (counter == 10)
                        {
                            throw new Exception("Url tried for 10 times.");
                        }
                        else

                httpResponse.Dispose();

                ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(httpResponse.GetResponseStream());

                foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)

                streamReader.Dispose();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

                               Environment.Exit(0);
            }
