Downloading Survey Responses Since last Download about qualtrics HOT 5 CLOSED

I must not understand how this works. I thought I had to manually supply ‘lastResponsId’ for that to work. If I use it will it automatically retain the last id and then use it the next time a download is called?

Jasper, Thank you for your explanation and your offer of further help. I have tried to do some research on how to use R as you suggest. I assume the script to create the pipeline could be integrated into a script that runs a download from Qualtrics using your qualtRics package. I have not be able to find enough information to do it on my own. Since I am only just beginning to learn R, I’m a bit lost in making the script that would do what you suggest. I don’t want to take advantage of your kind offer of help but I am not sure where I can go to learn more about how to create the “pipeline” you suggest would solve our problem in a timely manner. Can you point me in the right direction? Any more details about the specifics of your suggestion would also be helpful. I appreciate your willingness to help.

You have to supply the response ID. What I mean is that it would be relatively simple for you to implement this yourself. All you'd need to do is set up the following pipeline: pipeline <- function(surveyID, ...) { # 1. Search for 'lastResponseId.rds' in working directory. If it exists, load. # 2. If you loaded the last Response ID in step 1, pass it to the 'getSurveys' function, else, run the getSurveys function without this parameter. # 3. Take the last responseid from the survey you collected and save it to 'lastResponseId.rds' in your working directory. ... rinse and repeat } This should work fine for what you're trying to do. Let me know if you need more help with that. Best, J. — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

Jasper, After playing around some more and finding the “tail” function I came up with this. … setwd("c:/Users/del/Qualtrics Data") lastResponseId.rds <-"R_22VPLzYX75cwrer" mysurvey <- getSurvey(surveyID = surveys$id[9], save_dir = "/users/del/Qualtrics Data/", lastResponseId = lastResponseId.rds, verbose=TRUE, uselabels=FALSE, force_request = TRUE) lastResponseId.rds <- tail(mysurvey$ResponseID,1) … So far it seems to work. Is this all there is to it?
