How do I get active users only through the API

Newbie here as well and I have a similar experience. I tried to search just for users with a specific last name and it still returns all users.

I have my python code to do this working. I’ll post it here when I return on Monday. There is a system error preventing me from adding it today.

The list users API call will return all users, you will need to store those in a survey project or IDP where you can further filter out the records by status=active.

Every time I attempt to paste my working.py code, a popup says “Something has gone wrong”, and the posting fails. Does anyone know why? Is there a length limit for posts here, perhaps?

​Hi @TCA ,

One way of doing this could be to use a lifecycle project to pull in the users you need, based on an automation. Then you could use an API call to get and run through the participants in the project. 

I’m still trying to post my (working) python code here. What follows is just a code stub test, not the actual program. 

import csv
import json
import sys
import time
from urllib.error import HTTPError, URLError
from urllib.parse import urljoin, urlparse
from urllib.request import Request, urlopen


OUTPUT_FILE = "userlist.csv"
##### OUTPUT GOES TO userlist.csv
##### DANGER! TOKENS ARE SOURCED HERE! I did not put them in the environment!!!

# Enter the API token between the quotation marks. Anyone who can read this
# source file will be able to use the token with its assigned permissions.
QUALTRICS_API_TOKEN = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE!!!"

# Enter the datacenter ID shown in your Qualtrics account, such as iad1 or ca1.
QUALTRICS_DATACENTER_ID = "FIRST_NAME_OF_DATACENTER!!!"


class QualtricsError(RuntimeError):
    """Raised when a Qualtrics API request or response is invalid."""
