LimeSurvey version: 3.25.18+210316
==================
Hey!

This might sounds like a stupid question, but I need some help. I am reading about LimeSurvey RemoteControl API and how to use it, but I still don't quite understand how to integrate the API into LimeSurvey surveys. Could someone explain to me in a simple way, how to start using the LSRC API? The only thing I understand perfectly, is that I have to configure it to JSON/XML RPC and then I have no idea how to start using it. I've read the whole manual for LSRC but still, I am quite confused about how to start implementing it into the surveys. I did not download LimeSurvey and I'm one of the users of our LimeSurvey system. Do I have to use some external software to start using the API? Where should I code the methods? I've been trying to find some tutorials, but didn't find anything on YouTube either. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

In order to use the API you will have to create your own script somewhere.

Okay, thanks, but do I create that script outside of LimeSurvey and then somehow put it there?

can you describe a specific use case?

Well, I posted my question explaining my case yesterday, and I actually got an answer from you too, bismark!

I just still can't get my head around implementing API into LimeSurvey since I have never had to download the actual LimeSurvey and I'm just one of the users on a LS website. I know how to use usual open APIs but this time I'm really confused on where do I have to call this RemoteControl API, where should I code all that. Sorry, if this is a dumb question, I'm just really confused :')

The API is not primarily for use within LimeSurvey. It is normally used in external PHP (or other supported languages) files to externally manipulate LimeSurvey.

In your use case - creating tokens for another survey from within a survey - you will need to create the external (PHP?) file somewhere on your server and then access it via an AJAX call from the survey.

Okay, I see! Thank you for the explanation

you can start here: manual.limesurvey.org/RemoteControl_2_API#PHP_Example

just copy/paste the code and replace user credentials, execute the script and see what happens

all API functions you can find here: api.limesurvey.org/classes/remotecontrol_handle.html

Okay! Thanks a lot.

Here is a working example - forums.limesurvey.org/forum/development/...-custom-token#193943

You will probably want to remove the check for an existing token and change the $bCreateToken parameter to true;
