Orange County Register Builds Adobe Flex App on Survey API

Posted by 1 Response Filed in: API/Widgets/Plug-ins, Case Studies

One thing we haven’t talked about as much as we probably should is our Survey API. They SurveyGizmo API Version 1.0 allows you to query our infrastructure and retrieve responses as well as perform a few operations on the survey itself. This is how our WordPress survey plugin works. The survey API Version 2.0, available any day now (available in the future), will allow you to interact with the entire SurveyGizmo application programatically. In theory you could even write your own front-end GUI and run a completely private-label version of the app on top of our infrastructure.

In the meantime, you can still do some pretty wicked stuff. The Orange Country Register found us a few months ago with exactly that in mind. Check out their OC Political Pulse page. They use SurveyGizmo to build surveys and collect responses, then render the results in a custom Adobe Flex application built by their crack team of programmers. They are able to allow visitors to drill down into polls and see political data in demographic slices.

BTW, we don’t restrict access to the API. Even Free users can build apps against it. So if you have a particular survey itch that needs to be scratched for your web site, sign up for a free account and give it a whirl.

    Hi

    I’m about ready to develop a Flex app to access the SG API and wondered if you had any pre-built Flex components made that you could share or even some documentation/sample code to help me jump start my Flex project?
