Hi All,

I looked for an answer to this, but nothing was satisfactorily supplied, just more pointing to generic API functionality for file downloading, etc - i.e. people misreading the question....

Could Qualtrics look at supplying what really should be a simple API request to download a particular response as PDF, as the survey manager can do from the UI?

Thanks for any in-Qualtrics solutions rather than ‘dump the response and build a PDF yourself’ - I think the PDF summary as downloaded via UI is ideal for what we want, so streaming it to PDF via the API would be excellent

Thanks 

JB

Thanks ​@ak.piraiai for responding to

  appreciated

Does your plug-in work with signature files within the response?

Also :

  1. Uploading 101,000 CSVs one at a time isn’t going to work with your add-in
  2. Uploading sensitive information to a 3rd party isn’t going to be possible due to GDPR, and we really need a local app solution

I’m not a non-technical researcher -  more a technical non-researcher, so would actually love to see some code for doing thing for a batch of ResponseIDs … python or whatever.

However, if signatures work with your add-in, I will try it with some test responses and let you know,

Kind Regards,

JBrim

​@JBrim , 

Pirai AI is GDPR complaint and the API tookit is an abstract layer of the Qualtrics REST API. If you’re updating the response Qualtrics bulk response API can support up to 250K responses.

Here is the Qualtrics toolkit guide: https://piraiai.com/docs/qualtrics-api-toolkit

API Key Storage & Privacy

  • Local Only: API keys stored exclusively in your browser using Chrome's local storage - never leave your device
  • No Server Backend: Extension communicates directly from your browser to Qualtrics APIs
  • Client-Side Processing: CSV files processed entirely in browser memory, destroyed immediately after use
  • GDPR Compliant: Since no data is processed on our servers (there are no servers!), we're inherently compliant

Pricing

  • Chrome Extension: Completely FREE 

What We Gain

  • Community building and feedback to prioritize new API endpoints
  • Brand awareness for our main platform
  • Zero data collection - we literally cannot access your files or API usage

Why we Built This

As a researcher with extensive experience, I've felt the pain of tedious Qualtrics workflows firsthand for non-tech researchers. I built this toolkit specifically to help the Qualtrics community increase their efficiency and spend more time on actual research rather than manual data operations.

The extension is essentially an abstraction layer that makes Qualtrics APIs more user-friendly than Postman scripts, while keeping everything private and local to your browser.

You can verify this by checking the extension permissions (only needs storage and *.qualtrics.com access) and monitoring network traffic.
