Greetings Friends. I would like to create a duplicate of an existing project using only the Qualtrics REST API. I'm hoping this can be done with only a handfull of API calls but haven't found a solution yet. I know I can create and populate a project element by element (questions, blocks, etc.). Not sure if it's possible but I'm looking for API endpoints that might:
- Create a new project by copying another similar to how the UI does.
- Perhaps two API calls; one to create a blank project and another to import the structure from an existing project.
Maintaining question ids is important as there is a lot of JS and Web Service calls that reference specific ids.
UPDATE 1
pogi has me pointed in the right direction. When I first looked at the Create Survey endpoint (POST: /survey-definitions) I skipped the section of the Body definition referencing Survey QSF thinking it required a file upload (.qsf). I now think this can actually be json. The QSF definition can found at the API Reference under QUALTRICS SURVEY API then Schemas.
UPDATE 2
I did a quick test by exporting an existing survey through the UI which downloaded a .qsf file. The format of this file is json. I pasted that into Postman and tested the Create Survey endpoint with the contents of the .qsf as the body. It created a new survey with the exact structure of the original. Thanks pogi!
