Re: download data from KoBo Toolbox server

[lxgu...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

Currently I am using KoBo Toolbox and Enketo Express for my data collection. Then, I've tried DownloadFile method ("https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/myProjectName/forms/myFormName/data.xls", outputFileName, loginName, loginPWD) in my program to download the collected data into an Excel spreadsheet saved in the local computer, but it didn't work. I doubt if the url for accessing data is correct. Could someone give me suggests on how to solve this problem?

Many thanks

Lynn

Hi Lynn,

Which program are you building to download data from KoBo? You can definitely use the API for this purpose. 

Please check the API documentation on https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/. To download data from your form you need to use its unique identifier (pk) and then follow the example under "Get Submitted data for a specific form" on https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/api/v1/data. 

Best,

Tino

I'm new to APIs. I just downloaded a file using curl GET, but it's not in excel format.

How can I get an excel file for a particular form as if I were downloading it manually from the data download tab on the webpage?

Thanks!
