Retrieve UID sent via RestAPI

Question

Hi,
we use your webapi to get an url to a survey by giving you a pseudoid in the field uid.Is there a possibility to read out the transferred UID again in order to be able to assign the recorded questionnaires to this pseudoID?

Comments

Is you question whether you can see the UID in the dataset?

We need it, when evaluating the surveys

We're checking the issue and report a solution before Monday.

Thanks for your patience.

When creating the API url, please make sure that the privacy mode is set to "individual-related". Otherwise SoSci Survey prevents mapping of SERIALs and the address entry.

Then, when downloading the data, n Download Data please select the Variables tab, and check the option "Download mailing address entries".

In your download there will then be a variable PS_UID (one of the last variables) that contains the UID that you have specified when creating the URL.

Please be aware that you are handling person-related data according to GDPR in that case, and you will need an extended DPA, see https://s2survey.net/DSGVO/
