results from all_surveys() and list_surveys is different #330

Closed vjbrady68 closed 3 months ago

vjbrady68 commented 1 year ago

Hi There!

Any thoughts on why I would be getting a different number of results when I use all_surveys vs. list_surveys? The survey data I want to pull shows up when I use list_surveys() but not all_surveys and then when I go to use fetch_survey() I get a 404 error.

All_surveys() gives me 148 results and list_surveys() gives me 169. Not only is the number of surveys getting pulled different, they are different samples... 114 are the same across the two commands, but then they each have a set of surveys that is unique to that method. Am I doing something wrong or have a setting I need to change?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused--list_surveys() isn't a function in this package. Are you perhaps using a different package, or someone's fork of this one?

Or querying the API endpoint (which is named "list surveys") yourself somehow (e.g., via the website)?

vjbrady68 commented 1 year ago

Ah yes, you are correct - list_surveys is from another package... I guess the question still stands though - what might cause there to be surveys that I'm the owner of that aren't getting pulled through with the all_surveys() call?

jmobrien commented 1 year ago

No clue without more info. What's list_surveys from (I couldn't find it myself)?

Also, are there any common characteristics of the surveys you're seeing with the other method, but not here? Any info/printouts you're willing to share here could be useful.

Tough for us to say what you may be experiencing from another package, but here in the qualtRics package, the all_surveys() function calls the /surveys endpoint using your authentication: https://api.qualtrics.com/2c55b7ff8b0c7-list-surveys

You can see how the URL is built here: https://github.com/ropensci/qualtRics/blob/9a943be9f05efef4d33f5a4fe9d038563d2db305/R/utils.R#L146

I suggest that you ask the other package maintainers how the other function works.

It's from the QualtricsInR package. Ultimately though - the bigger issue here is that there are surveys that I am the owner of that aren't showing up in my all_surveys call and when I drop the survey id into the fetch_surveys command (even though I am the owner/creator of the survey) I end up with a 404 error.

I need to do this analysis pretty quickly, so I think I'll just set this aside and export the results directly from Qualtrics as a CSV even though it's not ideal.
