How to - Expert

1. Retrieve every customer responses for a user

2. Request the following endpoint : /responses

3. Add the parameter email to only retrieve the responses for a user. We strongly recommend to url encode the email address to avoid any disturbances.

4. Perform the request that should look like this : https://api.goodays.co/v2/responses?email=arnaud.lancelot%40goodays.co

At this point, you will get an array of responses. By convention, we only send the 20 first results and the pagination system to get the others.

Here is an example of what the API responds :

{
    "next": "https://api.goodays.co/v2/responses?cursor=cD0yMDE4LTEyLTEyKzA2JTNBMTclM0ExMi40MDI5MzMlMkIwMCUzQTAw",
    "previous": null,
    "results": [
        {
            "id": "{response-id}",
            "created_date": "2018-12-12T09:03:13.441327+01:00",
            "updated_date": "2018-12-12T09:04:13.305446+01:00",
            "has_answers": false,
            "has_message": true,
            "detail_url": "https://api.goodays.co/v2/responses/{response-id}"
        },
        {
            "id": "{response-id}",
            "created_date": "2018-12-12T09:01:47.562677+01:00",
            "updated_date": "2018-12-12T09:01:47.590289+01:00",
            "has_answers": true,
            "has_message": true,
            "detail_url": "https://api.goodays.co/v2/responses/{response-id}"
        },
        ...
    ]
}

2. For each response, get the details

Request the following endpoint : /responses/{response-id} with a response-id retrieved from the previous requests.

Below, an example of the response :

{
    "id": "gxKrrlok4o",
    "created_date": "2019-02-05T17:50:55.656496+01:00",
    "updated_date": "2019-02-05T17:50:55.685946+01:00",
    "source": "email",
    "survey": {
        "id": "{survey-id}",
        "slug": "post-purchase",
        "label": "Post Purchase",
        "enabled": true,
        "detail_url": "https://api.goodays.co/v2/surveys/{survey-id}"
    },
    "answers": [
        {
            "id": "{answer-id}",
            "value": "yes",
            "question": {
                "id": "{question-id}",
                "title": "Did you enjoy your time in our store ?",
                "type": "yesno",
                "enabled": true
            }
        },
        {
            "id": "{answer-id}",
            "created_date": "2019-02-05T17:50:55.635353+01:00",
            "value": 10,
            "question": {
                "id": "{question-id}",
                "title": "**Would you recommend** this place to your friends ?",
                "type": "nps",
                "enabled": true
            }
        },
        ...
    ],
    "message": null,
    "reply": null,
    "user": {
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "first_name": "Arnaud",
        "last_name": "Lancelot"
    },
    "context": {
        "frequency": "...",
        "rfm": "..."
    },
    "place": {
        ... place details
    }
}

You can use the answers to the survey or some context informations to enrich your customers profile.

Need to retrieve hundreds of responses at once?

Don't panic!
There is the bulk mode which allows you to retrieve responses 20 by 20 (the paging is not customizable here). The GET parameters are the same as described above.
