QualtricsAPI

Ruby wrapper for Qualtrics REST ControlPanel API version 3.0. API Documents/Play Ground

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'qualtrics_api'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install qualtrics_api

Usage

Initialize

client = QualtricsAPI.new "YOUR_QUALTRICS_API_KEY"
# => #<QualtricsAPI::Client:0x007fcb74496528 @api_token="YOUR_QUALTRICS_API_KEY">

Surveys

To get all your surveys:

client.surveys.fetch
# => #<QualtricsAPI::SurveyCollection:0x007fcb72cce350 ....>

You can also add a scopeId:

client.surveys.fetch(scope_id: "someOwnerIdMaybe")
# => #<QualtricsAPI::SurveyCollection:0x007fcb72adaf21 ....>

After you have received results, you can search for a survey by id:

survey = client.surveys.find("surveyIdHere")
# => #<QualtricsAPI::Survey:0x007fcb724f9468 @id="surveyIdHere" ...>

or just:

survey = client.surveys["surveyIdHere"]
# =>  #<QualtricsAPI::Survey:0x007fcb724f9468 @id="surveyIdHere" ...>

Export Responses From a Survey

Once you have a survey object (QualtricsAPI::Survey], you can start an export like so:

(You can pass any supported options in ruby style!)

export_service = survey.export_responses({ start_date: "2015-03-03 11:11:10" })
# => #<QualtricsAPI::Services::ResponseExportService:0x007fcb742e4e50 ....>

or you can configure it laster...

export_service = survey.export_responses
# => #<QualtricsAPI::Services::ResponseExport:0x007fcb742e4e50 ....>
export_service.start_date = "2015-03-03 11:11:10"

(See Qualtrics API doc for a full list of options)

Then start the export:

export = export_service.start
# => #<QualtricsAPI::ResponseExport:0x007fcb742e4e50 ....>

Then to check the progress

export.status
# => "20.333333%"

export.completed?
# => fasle

# call again to refresh
export.status
# => "100%"

export.completed?
# => true

Once it's finished, you can get the response file URL:

export.file_url
# => "https://some.amazon.s3.com/file/path?withTimeStamps=AndOtherStuff"

Checking status on a previous response export

Each response export yeilds an id

export = survey.export_responses({ }).start
# => #<QualtricsAPI::ResponseExport:0x007fcb742e4e50 ....>

export.id
# => "someExportID"

You can save it somewhere in your app and check back later (if you know it's gonna take a while!)

client = QualtricsAPI.new "YOUR QUALTRICS API TOKEN"
export = client.response_exports["someExportID"]
# => #<QualtricsAPI::ResponseExport:0x007fcb742e4e50 ....>
export.status
=> "99.99999%"
