Is it possible to close a survey through the API, but allow people to finish it?
When you close a survey through the UI, you are given an option to allow those who are currently taking it to finish. I know that I can close a survey through the API by updating isActive to False, but I don't want to kick anybody out of the survey if they're in the process of completing it. Is it possible to allow them to finish?

My recommendation would be to keep ACTIVE and update the Expiration Period of the Survey, in API call. https://api.qualtrics.com/v3/reference/update-survey
You can make the time as few minutes of advance, so project gets expired and few minutes and in turn is Inactive.
And then make sure you have partial completion setting set to complete. Then all In-progress people will have option to still complete their responses. This would be the case for all In Progress responses.
There would not be any new one to take participate in the survey.
