Hi,

thank you for sharing but why don't you use the RemoteControl API function export_responses ?
Otherwise if something within LimeSurvey changes your export code will not properly be working anymore.

A JSONRPC client is even included within LimeSurvey. Look at function test() of the remotecontrol controller.

Because I wrote it over 3 years ago when there was no API?

Weird, last message is said to be from 3 days ago.

"it" is my script, not my message. I wrote the script over 3 years ago

Ah ok

Luke, can you let us know with which Limesurvey versions your script works?

Do you always have to call the script manually or can it also be set up as a daily cron job?

I customized LS code for the purpose of one of my projects. LS version I used was:

$versionnumber = "1.90+";
$dbversionnumber = 143;
$buildnumber = '9343';

This was around 3 years ago, my data download script has been running as a cron job since then. Have not had a single problem with it.

Luke

Thanks for these details, Luke.

I'm interested in automating survey response exports and sending via email using the API but I really have no idea how to get started. Has anyone done this or would you be willing to create something I could run through a cron job?
