Surveys

[CrabbyPete]

I would like to access and change the survey question when a paid user
signs up for an event. As an organizer is there a way in the api to
change my survey questions, and what do I use to read the responses to
the survey questions.

Hi Pete,

As an organizer, there is currently no a way to modify profile questions asked of your users through the API. There is no way to edit or create groups through the API.

You can get a list of questions asked of your members when they join using the /2/groups method, http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/groups/, setting the "fields" request parameter to "join_info"

Members however, may edit their profile question answers using the http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/profile/#edit method, here are a few examples http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/profile/#editexamples

You can see the responses of questions answered by your members using the /2/profiles method which lists answers in the response, http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/profiles/#response. You can see what data is returned for this method using the console
http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/console/?path=/2/profiles

Let me know if that helps.

Doug,

Thanks. .

I am using the looking at the survey questions that a user answers
when they rsvp. I am testing it now on the meet api meetup.

I am managing events for different groups using the OAuth2 interface.
I am able to see the answers to the survey questions in the rsvp.

I would love to be able to create events, with the rsvp questions from
the API.

Thanks again,
Pete

Thanks for the positive feedback Pete!

If that is something you would find useful, we can look into adding that in the future.

Doug,

Adding that feature would be outstanding.

I have one question though. Do the answers go away. I tested it a
couple of times and the answers were in the profile, and then they
were not.

What was it you were testing? Editing profile questions?

I realize I was had a different access token and it works great.
Thanks again

I am testing out the getting the answers to the RSVP questions. I
created a new event on the Meetup Test API site and added questions
when the user RSVPs to the event. What I would love to be able to do
is use the api to create the event and the rsvp survey questions for
it.

Hi Pete,

I've added support for being able to get the survey questions for events and added the ability toto answer them from the rsvp api.

If you make a request for events using any of the v2 events api methods passing in the value of "survey_questions" with the "fields" parameter, you should get back a list of survey questions if the org of the group hosting the event has defined them.

http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/2/open_events/#response

You can use the identifiers from those questions to form answer parameters for the rsvp method in a similar fashion as you would when answering profile questions with the 2/profile method when joining a group.

http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/rsvp/

Let me know if you have any questions.
