Scoring in API

Hi all,

I am building a survey from scratch using the API. I would like to add scoring to my questions. I know this can be done manually using the UI, but I would like to know if there is a way to implement this in the API.

I have read this forum post many times over and still can’t seem to figure it out.

I played around with manually adding in scoring in the UI, and pulled the information using the API.

From what I can see, using Get Survey I can obtain the ‘Scoring’ schema, e.g.,:

            'Scoring': {'AutoScoringCategory': None,
                        'DefaultScoringCategory': 'SC_bxRKOuoFtqDe4IK',
                        'IgnoreNullValues': True,
                        'ScoringCategories': [{'Description': '',
                                               'ID': 'SC_bxRKOuoFtqDe4IK',
                                               'Name': 'containment_1'},
                                              {'Description': None,
                                               'ID': 'SC_37SfH89wOX72F9k',
                                               'Name': 'retrieval_2'}],
                        'ScoringCategoryGroups': [],
                        'ScoringSummaryAfterQuestions': 0,
                        'ScoringSummaryAfterSurvey': 0,
                        'ScoringSummaryCategory': 'SC_bxRKOuoFtqDe4IK'},

Which is followed by the survey flow, etc.

Using Get Question, I can see the GradingData, e.g.:

                                   'DataVisibility': {'Hidden': False,
                                                      'Private': False},
                                   'GradingData': [{'ChoiceID': '1',
                                                    'Grades': {'SC_bxRKOuoFtqDe4IK': '1'},
                                                    'index': 0}],
                                   'Language': [],

But, this is all after manually adding the survey category IDs in the UI. I tried using ‘Scoring’ schema in the Make Survey payload by randomly generating an ID following the format given in the scoring definition SC_[a-zA-Z0-9]{11,15} but this also didn’t work.

Is there a way to directly write the IDs (and thus, the scoring) in the API?

I would really appreciate any pointers! Please help!!
