Survey Answers (Legacy)

Survey Answers (Legacy) appear on and can be responded to through surveys. Survey Answers (Legacy) are required to have a value for the answer (i.e. answers must have at least one choice selected or a non-null value). Additionally, only one value type can be specified for the answer (e.g. specifying a date value as well as choice values is invalid).

Note: This feature requires the Surveys (Legacy) account add-on. This feature is unrelated to Pulse surveys.

This endpoint returns structured Survey Answer objects. As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the results array and will be indexed by ID in the survey_answers top-level JSON key. Please see our Response Format section for more information.
