Hi, I am quite new to lime survey.
I have a system setup with a survey and there are already participants in there.

I need to be able to create new participants by providing a token and a username (at least a token).

I have noticed in the docs that there is a remote interface available.

To create these participants using the remote interface - should I use `activate_tokens` or `add_participants`? I have to add A LOT of users, so if there are possibilites of doing bulk creation that would be super helpful.

Please help me get started with this.

Thanks

Hi,
so you want to add new participants of a survey?
You see, there is no "username", only "firstname" and "lastname".

And the quick and easy thing is to upload your participants as csv-file.

Or do you want to create new users (admins) of LimeSurvey?

Obviously I am confused by your word "participants".

Here is a simple example of how to add a participant using the API - forums.limesurvey.org/forum/development/...-custom-token#193943

- api.limesurvey.org/classes/remotecontrol...hod_add_participants

Hi, thanks for the replies. I managed to make it working.
If anyone is interested, here is how i did the implementation in python (django):

survey_data = [{'token':str(u.pk)} for u in us]
r = requests.post(
f'{survey_base}/index.php/admin/remotecontrol',
json = {
"method":"get_session_key",
"params":[survey_uname,survey_pwd],
"id":1
}
)

session_key = json.loads(r.content)
r = requests.post(
f'{survey_base}/index.php/admin/remotecontrol',
json = {
"method":"add_participants",
"params":[
session_key,
survey_id,
survey_data,
False # do not create token, instead use supplied token
],
"id":1
}
)

r = requests.post(
f'{survey_base}/index.php/admin/remotecontrol',
json = {
"method":"release_session_key",
"params":[session_key],
"id":1
}
)
