Download results / Access from another service

  • Results can be downloaded as a csv or as a json file. You can also choose to dowload all of the data or just a subset of the data based on filters or just downloading the active page.
  • After choosing your download settings, select DOWNLOAD.
  • SPECIAL NOTE FOR MATRIX QUESTION TYPES
  • matrix question types have a complex results structure that doesn't easily map to a spreadsheet. They are essentially a table within a single cell. As a result, when downloading as a CSV you can download or access them in two forms:
  • Sub rows - Each matrix question type will generate subrows in the csv. This can make the data more easily visible, but means that the table is not 1 row = 1 submission.
    • to use --> results page link + '&expandAllMatrices=true'
    • example: https://app.surveystack.io/api/submissions/csv?survey=60d20b292f38fe0001916497&expandAllMatrices=true
  • JSON Object - Each matrix question type will have all the results stored in a single cell in a JSON array of objects. This is a simple structure where each entry in the matrix question is an object in the array. This maintains the 1 row = 1 submission structure, but the matrix data is less human readable.
    • to use --> results page link WITHOUT '&expandAllMatrices=true'
    • example: https://app.surveystack.io/api/submissions/csv?survey=60d20b292f38fe0001916497
