Start Response Export

POST 
/surveys/:surveyId/export-responses

Starts an export of a survey's responses. See the Response Import/Export API Overview for more detail on how to use this endpoint within a workflow.

Selecting the format of the export file

You can select the file format of the export file and whether the file is returned uncompressed or compressed in a ZIP file. Supported file formats are CSV, NDJSON, TSV, XML, JSON, and SPSS. By default, the API returns a compressed CSV file. Use uncompressed export files only for small export files. Attempts to export large files without compression may result in requests timing out or slow responses.

If this call doesn't return an HTTP 200 status code, do not start polling for progress.

Max File Size

Currently, response exports exceeding 1.8 GB will fail. To prevent your export from failing, use proper limits and filters to limit the size of your final export file.

Invalid Parameters with JSON and NDJSON

When exporting responses as JSON, not all parameters are meaningful. Consequently, the following parameters are not allowed when starting a JSON or NDJSON export:
