Dear Sir/Madam,
Hi ! I am using so sci on a local server at my university. I would like to run a python script that allows for the automatic downloading of my 2 data files once the participant has completed the survey. These files should be downloaded to my local computer where I am running So Sci on my universities local sever. Would this be possible via an API ? I have a few ideas that I am trying to implement for this process :
1) Triggering
If SoSci can call a URL on questionnaire completion (webhook/server-to-server call or “final page call”), configure it to hit your small web service (internal URL).
Alternative: Poll the API periodically and run the algorithm if the dataset changed.
2)A Python script receives the trigger (or runs on a schedule), downloads the CSV, stores it in a folder on the server.
Does it make sense to use this approach to get data automatically once a survey has been completed and save it to a local machine. If not please guide me where I could find some information on how to implement this.
Thank you for your time and help. Please let me know if anything is unclear, since I have only provided some basic information here.
Best Regards,
Ameer
