Hi,
I'm trying to export responses through the API using Ruby. I've no problem for getting a session key and the call to the method export_responses returns a 200 OK with an empty string as payload.
After several tests, I can't figure out what's wrong with my instance. Here's what I've tested:
- Verify that the 'Content-Type' header is set to 'application/json'
The content-type of the HTTP request must be application/json. Most formatting errors are a failure to set the content-type header. This will result in a null response from the server (not a JSON response).
- Verify that each parameters are passed in the corresponding order
The parameter structure uses arrays of values - you *must* send the values in the API expected order (see
jsonrpc specification
).
- Fill 3 or more parameters (3 are required, session_key, survey_id, document_type)
- Tweak some parameter's value
- Test different value for the DocumentType parameter:
@param string $sDocumentType any format available by plugins (for example : pdf, csv, xls, doc, json)
Here's the JSON payload I'm sending:
Code:
"{\"method\":\"export_responses\",\"params\":[\"JatBameDZtYllc9jGFCvZnZeUWXUrjVI\",534582,\"json\"]}"
The headers:
Code:
accept-encoding: gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3
accept: */*
user-agent: Ruby
host: my.instance.org
content-type: application/json
connection: Keep-Alive
content-length: 89
It returns 200OK and the payload is "" (empty string)
My questions is:
should I install a plugin in order to export responses through the API ?
Thanks for your time,
Regards
ps: I'd be glad to share my script (once working & clean) to the community, as it lack of a Ruby example
