Guide
Set up an outside program to interface directly with Qualtrics.
To use the REST API
API access is not available for all accounts – check with your administrator to see if it is available for you.
The API will require the use of IDs from your account. To access these IDs,
- Click on your name at the top right of Qualtrics.
- Select Account Settings.
- Click Qualtrics IDs on the gray navigation bar.
- Click on any library to see IDs for panels, messages, and other library content. Click on any survey title to see IDs for questions, quotas, and other survey elements.
