Can I use the API to allocate projects to a folder?

I'm using the API to create custom surveys, distributions and reports. I can currently allocate messages and contact lists to a folder in their respective libraries, but I can't see how to do the same on the projects page. Does anyone know of a way to do this? TIA.

Hitting a KeyError when attempting to extract an array of survey data

I've managed to cobble together a script from the Qualtrics samples that gets a list of all of the surveys associated with my apiToken and then exports all active surveys into a folder. Unfortunately, I've found that if I just create an array of all of my surveyIds where isActive == True, I get a KeyError on the following line (Python): progressId = downloadRequestResponse.json()["result"]["id"] If I run a check on ownerId, I don't get the KeyError. However, not all of my surveys are extracted. It's super weird and I'm a bit at a loss. Anyone have any ideas of how I might fix this? ~~~~ import os import requests import json import zipfile try: import simplejson as json except ImportError: import json Setting user Parameters apiToken = 'APITOKEN' dataCenter = 'DATACENTER' Constructing the URL baseUrl = "https://{0}.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys".format(dataCenter) headers = { "x-api-token": apiToken, } Getting the json data json_data = requests.get(baseUrl,headers=heade

Including custom data in API imported responses

I'm wanting to include some custom data in responses that I'm uploading via the API’s `/V3/responseimports` endpoint. How am I able to just include any data for it to be visible in the responses. Currently it just seems to ignore any columns it doesn't know about.

Exporting in-progress responses is broken. Can I use the API as a workaround

For one of my projects I have been unable to export my in-progress responses. I have just over 12,000 in-progress responses but whenever I try to export them the data file only contains around 200 individuals. Qualtrics has been aware of the problem and trying to fix it for the last 6 weeks with no luck. I really need the list of in-progress individuals and was wondering if there would be any way to use the API to get this list?

Pulling report data via API

Hi, I have a customer using Qualtrics, I'm developing a website for them where we want to display some high level report data from the survey. I can see in Qualtrics that reports can be defined which is great, all I would like to do is read this data on demand, via the API. I can't see anything about this in the API docs, I'm hoping that I'm looking in the wrong place... Note: I can see that you can retrieve all the data via the API and it is technically possible for me to do this and generate the report myself, however the client does not want to grant the website access to the raw data for privacy reasons. The only other solution I can come up with is to email the report (daily) as a CSV and write a system to read from the mailbox, parse the results from the CSV attachment and push the data into our database etc, this is not a very robust solution so it's a last resort.

How to update a recorded responses' answer?

Hi, We are using embedded fields in survey to pre-populate values with in the responses. Once the response is submitted, updating the embedded fields (using update response API) is not showing up in the response (as answers) rather it is still showing the old values. When i download the response in PDF , i can see the embedded field values updated but the answers are still showing the old numbers. Is there a way to force or update an answer of a recorded response. Thanks, Bkodela

Get ContactID for a Response

Hi, Is there a way to get the ContactId of the response. Currently when I export the response data for a survey via API, the csv has a Recipient email/first name/last name etc however it does not have any ContactId. Background: Currently I am trying to create prototype and in order to relate the response data to contact data I am doing the following: (1) That gets a Survey data for an SurveyID (2) Get's the Distribution list and MailingListID (I have only 1 distribution list) (3) Get's the contacts from the Distribution list (4) Download the response data (5) Join the response data to contact data based on email address (6) Save it to another database I don't want to use the email as the "Joining" entity. Thanks

How can I use the API to copy data from my Contact List (Trigger) to a Google Sheet?

I'd like to make the data from my Contact List Trigger (using to collect data throughout a workflow) and I'd like to copy the contact list (all fields and data in them) to a Google Sheet so I can then "share" with others. Any ideas? I'm guessing I need an API Call.

Export status of partial responses in progress via the API

Hi all, I'm using python to access the v3 API in Qualtrics. I'm having no problem using _responseexports_ to get the full response set of completed responses, but can't seem to find a REST API call to get information on in progress and responses that have not yet been started. This is a survey in which I generated individual links per respondent, but any API call to just get a list of partial responses and either the currently answered record or the recipient email / embedded data is all I need. I have the export of the links in a spreadsheet, and so even if I can programmatically get a list of users that have begun the survey would give me most of what I need to know. Any thoughts? It seems like this should be a core part of the API.

Adding contact to contact list using API 2.5 query

Hey! I am working on the query using Qualtrics API 2.5, which would add contact to contact list. I struggling with adding custom embedded data to the query. I have added manually this embedded data to list, and now i would like to know what is the query syntax to put the value into it. It is pretty simple for existing embedded data like FIrstName and LastName. My query looks like this ( pls don't focus on the focus on the beginning, it's just a concept.) In the below concept i would like to put specific value (SV_XXXXXX) to embedded data named SV. How it should be written? www.XXXXXXXXX&FirstName=Piotr&LastName=Siudak&SV=SV_XXXXXX

Automated Emails with Data

Hey all! I know that in Research Core you have the ability to send yourself (and others) emails with results/reports on a regular basis, but is there an automated way to send yourself data/data files? For example, if possible, I'd love to be able to send myself data from the past week every Monday.
