I am looking for a document that explains the possible XML outputs, like what is found in a survey and what may not be found. For example, a list of question types and for each type what are the possible response XML messages.

The link below is an example of the output from an invalid survey ID:

https://api.sgizmo.com/?dk=15cbb17c3cefc84b105f3f3fd&uk=63dv00qdl*45&cmd=getSurvey&sid=1034632

NOTE: The link above does not seem to be working properly in this forum post. Please copy/paste the entire URL into a browser.

Hi,

I also wouldn't mind a bundle of XML files showing all possible outputs for the different types of questions. How else could us developers possibly figure it out based on the current documentation? I don't see any WSDL.

This would be extremely useful for testing against.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply Jonathan,

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here – SurveyGizmo offers a myriad of question types but the API documentation only describes 3 types in the example for the getSurvey function (e.g. type=“CHECKBOX\TEXTBOX\INSTRUCTIONS“). Therefore, in order for me to test all the different question types to see their XML output, I would have to create a survey that contains every question type and possible answer type. Thus, I was wondering if you have any sample XML files that contain everything.

Surely you have some kind of description doc (DTD) so that I can validate a properly formatted XML string. For example, how would a developer know orientation=“VERT” and not orientation=“VERTICAL”

Hey, Paul!

I've made a survey on your account called “All Questions Sampler”. You can use this to run API calls and verify the output for all of our different questions types.

I hope this helps!

Cheers for the help guys.

Jonathan,

Thanks for the sample survey. I am just getting to use it now. I am trying to submit it to get sample responses to each question so I can test the API data transfer. 

However, When I submit page 1 of the sample survey, I get a “page not found” error on page 2. This is the url in my browser: http://pro22.sgizmo.com/Redirect. This results is a “partial” survey being submitted.

Can you suggest a fix so I can get a “completed” survey submitted?

Thanks,

Chris

Jonathan,

Sure, I can send you the API calls. However, I'm really just asking what I need to do to the “All Questions Sampler” survey you put in my survey list to get it to submit as “completed”. I'mgetting  a “page not found” error on page 2.

Thanks,

Chris
