API is read-only #914

Closed JordenVerwer closed 7 years ago

This is a documented limitation, so please regard this as a feature request, not as a bug report.

The API only allows read access to the data stored by Akvo Flow. For two-way synchronization (pushing new surveys, then pulling the individual survey instances back in) write access would also be necessary. Without write access, the API is significantly less useful.

Hi @JordenVerwer

Thank you for your interest in the Akvo FLOW API. As you correctly have noticed we only support reading in this initial version of the API. We plan to investigate the possibility to extend support to include updates in a future release as we gain more experience in how our partners want to use the data.

We would love to hear more about your plans to use the API so we can support your use cases in the best possible way. Feel free to contact us directly at support@akvoflow.org
