I'm trying to write a function to import a survey into qualtrics using their V3 api. They've given the following in their documentation
curl -H 'X-API-TOKEN: yourapitoken' \
-F 'name=Test' \
-F 'file=@/path/to/MySurvey.qsf;type=application/vnd.qualtrics.survey.qsf' \
'https://yourdatacenterid.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys'
I'm trying to implement this in python using the requests library.
I'm not quite sure how to pass the 'file=@/path/to/MySurvey.qsf;type=application/vnd.qualtrics.survey.qsf' to requests.get()
Current setup:
headers = {'X-API-TOKEN':'xxxxxxxx'}
base_url = 'http://coN.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys/'
files = [
('name','New Survey'),
('file', ......),
]
test = requests.get(base_url, headers, files)
What do I replace ..... with to get this working?
Qualtrics API Documentation : https://api.qualtrics.com/docs/import-survey-1
Firstly, i think you should send a post request .
Then you need data for the post data, and files for the file .
base_url = 'http://coN.qualtrics.com/API/v3/surveys/'
headers = {'X-API-TOKEN':'xxxxxxxx'}
data = {'name':'New Survey'}
files = {'file':('File Name', open('File Path', 'rb'), 'application/vnd.qualtrics.survey.qsf') }
test = requests.post(base_url, headers=headers, data=data, files=files)
print(test.status_code)
print(test.json())
In the files dict, 'File Name' is the name of the file, followed by the file object, and then the 'content_type' . You will find more info in the docs
