Can you submit a Restful request to a google forms api?

Question

I want to use google forms to collect questionnaire responses but with a much more custom UI for doing so. Is there a way to send in responses from my custom application to my google forms api?

Answer 1

You can use the endpoint to fill the google form directly. Steps -:

1. Create a google sheet.
2. Click on the Tool menu to create a google form.
3. Then create some google forms fields.
4. Now in the right top corner click on the 3 dots and select the Pre-fields link form.
5. Fill the info and click on the Get link and copy the link
6. Now you have a URL with the endpoints like this Endpoints are

entry.1651815625.

entry.952362665

Google Sheet Link for Form -: "https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfxoz5dqXC-_LoGJWZCPasww6woHcOl0s48PYcCj-72uUJoBQ/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.1651815625=Radha&entry.952362665=Krishna"

To Convert this link to this way

"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfssz5dqXC-_LoGJWZCP93ww6woHcOl0s48PYcCj-72uUJoBQ/formResponse?&submit=Submit?usp=pp_url&entry.1651815625=Radha&entry.952362665=Krishna"

Instead of "viewform" you have to write "formResponse?&submit=Submit"

Now you can pass your own value and hit this URL to submit your google form directly.
